Hadiel Also note that you'd be ruling out the possibility for several people to navigate their way correctly around the forum. people with thick glasses for example and/or blind people.

After all, this is a monitor you're looking at right now. It stresses your eyes enought as it is. Why make it harder for the visually impaired than it already is ?

Note: If it does not affect those with seeing problems, i don't see any reason not to... Great idea, but think about your fellow man.

Moonypond This is pretty small... Probably the smallest... Either Garamond or Arial Narrow.

For sarcasm I usually put a smilies like :bleh: :P or [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] .
or white text.
Highliting unreadable text is much easier that copy past then opening notepad and pasting... but that's just me.

kaali As it seems that somebody hasn't yet got my point, I try to explain again.

The reason I would want to make a text to be so small is, that I want to change the meaning; I'd like to add sarcasm to the text. Example:

YOU ALL GUYS SUCK!!!!!!!
It's quite annoying right now, isn't it. No sarcasm. But I'd like to make it sarcastic. To add sarcasm, I would either add smiley or I could make it very small. See?

Another longer example:
In the topic Fun Game (direct link to the right page), I would have wanted to make the text "...everything nearby him." unable or almost unable to read (but copy+paste would make it readable), so that you could only read the text "SUCKS". So again to add sarcasm.

Sorry I can't make this any clearer, so If you don't get it, leave it.

@ Japofran
Yes I know I can use white, but the small text would be better.

win98 It might be a PHPBB fourm feature then.

Scatty But it uses the BBCode, right? Or is that a different matter?

it's IPB, not PHPBB

Dark Piedone As far as I know this forum is made in PhpBB and there the minimal text size is this, so what kaali suggested is technically impossible.
Anyway it would have been nice if we had that option, even if 90% of us will never use it, but to know that is there that you can have that option and use it. In other forums this option exist and many people use it "when you want to say your critical honest opinion".

Why would you want to do that?

Sorry, but - yes! <!--QuoteBegin-Kaali

Can't you do that on a regular basis?
<!--QuoteBegin-Dark P

[...] if this could be done it would have been done years before when the forum was created.
What?! :blink:
Sorry guys. I don't get your point.
1. Serious / personal stuff -> PM (Personal message... )
2. Complaints -> PM an Admin or put it to Site comments/suggestions
3. Critisism -> make up your mind: How do I phrase my critique in a way everybody understands and that is not flaming or troublesome?
In an adequate manner that still expresses your degree of being upset.Or go back to 1.

OK? k:

Japo When we post spoilers we use white text on a white background. But if your "critical honest" opinion is so outrageous that it must be hidden --still everybody could read it so I don't really get it-- then I bet it will be beyond this forum's flaming rules. Just my opinion though.
