Is that a reference to Pro or Gamewise?

Would love for the GameDB to return, but imagine that will be an absolutely enormous undertaking.

I think you have a great list of suggestions there :) formatting wise, most of it works, even on mobile. I know fonts refuse to work tho, also pics will only show in preview for me if i  use [ img ] .pic [/ img ] over the other option.

Also using HTML to change font colour doesn't work for me, using the code < p >< font color="red">example text!< / font > without spaces doesn't work, it shows it works but upon submit it reverts the texr back to black, or am I doing something wrong?

The ability to add color or change text size was disabled a while ago.

I think the reason for that was that the script that allowed that, could also be used for malware and other nasty things (or weird but fun things as one user used to do. I won't tell names).

The reason was the ioi wanted to have a unified look in the forums so he removed the ability to change the font type and text color. There are workarounds like adding "!important" to the CSS rule for your color. These things are in a kind of grey area since I could fix them but then I'd be going against what ioi wants for his site.

That's not really what I had in mind nor what I expect to happen. Way I see it those who choose to become Supporters will almost always be good users that want to improve the site and give something back (and indeed I think that applies to everyone that's signed up so far). Such people having stronger voting power will probably be a good thing for the comments section.

Guess I'll have to permaban you now so you can't steal my thunder.
