Hello,
This mod allows users to select their default posting font and color. You will have to select this at registration and can update it whenever you want in profile.
First you must make two new single selection menu user profile fields. Options for them are below.
Profile field one:
Title: Default Post Color
Description: What color your posts show up as?
Options:
Black
Blue
Green
Red
Pink
Orange
Purple
Set Default: Yes, but no first blank option
Display Order: Doesnt Matter
Field Requiried: Yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User: Yes
Private Field: No
Field Searchable on Members List: No
Show on Members List: No
Profile field two:
Title: Default Post Font
Description: What do you want your default post font to be?
Options:
Arial
Arial Black
Arial Narrow
Book Antiqua
Century Gothic
Comic Sans MS
Courier New
Fixedsys
Franklin Gothic Medium
Garamond
Georgia
Impact
Lucida Console
Microsoft Sans Serif
Palatino Linotype
System
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Tribuchet MS
Verdana
Set Default: Yes, but no first blank option
Display Order: Doesnt Matter
Field Requiried: Yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User: Yes
Private Field: No
Field Searchable on Members List: No
Show on Members List: No
Now go to the user profile field manager, and jot down the two field numbers of the new fields listed on the right side of the two fields. Along with that, write down what number goes with what field. Please note this is not the display number, its the number next to it that says fieldX

Go to your styles postbit/postbit legacy (whatever you use)
But I don't want the old post's font and color to be changed after I install this hack. For example; I posted some threads before I use this hack and I used some specific font and colors. After I install this hack, the old threads are also changing. Is there any way to adjust this hack for only new posts?
By the way I add the codes @ postbit template. When I added to postbit_legacy, the hack is not working.
Thanks for the hack. I just installed this (on 3.7.0 Gold) and it works great.
I found a reason...some of the fonts (such as Garamond) at their default size are much smaller that what we are ued to with the Verdana default. Increasing the size is necessary to help people be able to read your post without a magnifying glass.
It appears that we can allow a default size to be selected by using the same method as you used for the font and color. Just need a third new profile field and a third font tag in the postbit.

Any Ideas?
WOW!!! It sure does. I have mini books written on my site.
Question: What do you do when you want to revert back to the default color? For example, if a person uses the default color "black" and others are using a black skin, they won't be able to see the font color so if a person wants to use no color and make his account default to whatever font color, what do you select?
