Limiting font size

This hack allows you to limit the size tag so your users can't make posts with gigantic font sizes. :smoke: For example

[disable]Look at my really big font![/disable]

would be parsed as though it were:

[disable]Look at my really big font![/disable]

It works everywhere bbcodeparse() is used, so signatures, posts etc will all be limited. It has only been tested on 2.2.9, though it should work on any version. :classic:

Ahhh. Thats a glorious thing to see.

/me hits install button.

I tried that and when I used:

PHP Code:

[SIZE=1]Size=1[/SIZE] 

and it became a size 3 instead of a smaller 1.

I updated the attachment, I used \d+ instead of \d\d+.

Thanks I'll install

One of my users is using the + operator to break the size limit. Maybe there is a better way?

PHP Code:

[size=7+2]TESTING[/size]
