OK...I just installed the one here:

I'm running 3.6.1 and it works fine. A couple of things I don't like about it but it will do for now until I find something better or figure out how to modify it.
1. As you type a message, it does not show in your set preferred font, color, size. After you submit though, it does.
2. There is no "default" option if a user wishes to go back to the board default.

Just an update. This worked fine. The more I thought about it though, the more that it just didn't seem like a great idea. I started imagining my forums with every message in a different font, size, color and think it will look terrible. So...I removed it. The hack did work fine though.
