It doesn't affect what other people see because they don't hit the other person's custom fields. I THINK the only way to do this and do it RIGHT is to have the tags written to the message the same way the editor does when you select a different font when typing your message.
Now I don't personally know how to do this, but I KNOW SOMEBODY on here has got to.

Firstly, there is no RIGHT way; there are at least two different ways, both have advantages and disadvantages. What was right for me was the way I programmed it but that way may not be right for you.
The fact that the font tag is being applied to the message in the postbit or postbit_legacy template is not the reason why it only appears to be in your default font only when you're logged in. If that's the case, there is an error somewhere. It sounds like it's using info for the logged-in user, rather than for the user who posted the message. In my version, this problem does not exist, which I've confirmed by logging out of my own message board and looking at my messages. They continue to be in my default font, as they should. I've looked at the code for the color version, too, and although I don't use it myself, it appears to be correct. It's getting the font from the same source of info that a post gets the username, date, message text, etc. for, so I don't see why it should only work if you're logged in. |
