Broken [FONT] tags all over the show

    I assume the [font] tag has recently been disabled, with the result that sigs and posts all over the site now display the BB code as text. Is there any chance these could all be stripped out or is my finding this irritating a symptom of a yet undiagnosed form of OCD?

    I'd have to agree with you....
    I always wonder tho, how do you not realise that there is big bbcode in your sig?

    Tis true

    But there is no font box in the Advanced Reply anyway, so I imagine the BBcode is switched off or not installed.

    Well it should really be this...

    [HTML]<style type="text/css">
    <!--
    .largefont {
    font-size: 100px;
    }
    -->
    </style>

    ----

    <div class="largefont">Get a life!</div>[/HTML]

    But let's not fall out over it. :D

    I'd sooner have text colour turned of rather then font.

    Make that "100em" and watch the fun.

    [font] tags are turned off and have been for a week or so now anyway. The biggest loss is being able to spot the idiots, they always had Comic Sans about somewhere.

    I would say it's the biggest gain, FONT=COMIC SANS is even more visible, to my quirky eyes.
