That's a good question. I poked around here and on Google and couldn't find a basic FAQ section that might have that info. The best I can give you is a link to a Titan forum that has an FAQ section that might help: Nissan Titan Forum - FAQ: Board FAQ

With that gone you would be led to believe that the developers think everyone should use the same font and font size. I couldn't find anything in the User CP to set a default font.

I know that they still work it just now you have to insert it by hand
As you can see here the font is the one called Comic Sans MS and you can change the size but like I said you have to do it by hand

Really a PITA


Also looks like the system does not obey the rules with you end that attribute. [ / size ]
And why did it put that attribute tag where I never put it?
Inline editing BLOWS @

Now when I get ready to post it the stupid thing fixed it's se;f. Boo

As a software developer myself it is almost heretical for me to post this. But it does seem to be appropriate.

Hmm, just discovered something interesting with replies, esp. the "quote" feature. Sometimes the editor window takes a while to appear. The space is there, just no place to type. Sometimes just a second, sometimes 10 seconds.

With quotes, sometimes the editor window opens fairly quickly (1-2 seconds), sometimes it takes longer (5+ seconds), and sometimes it doesn't insert the quoted text in the window. It seems to depend on which post you're quoting. Maybe it fails more or operates slower on quotes of longer posts.

The font option was removed from the editor bar, but if you feel strongly about it, you can do it in the source editor as @Yahiko demonstrated.

Is it the intent to drive users away with the changes?

I am thinking about just that at this point.

Are there plans to bring forum links back to the bottom of the pages or has that been gone a long time? All my other forums there are links for ease of use at the bottom of each thread page.

It shows on mine. You mean the "Forum Jump" drop-down that I was commenting on earlier? My request was simply to bring it up to just below the "Edit Tags" button in the blue bar. Perhaps in line with the " <<Previous Thread Next Thread >>" buttons.

Are you using a desktop, or phone? Maybe it's just not showing in your view because it's too far down?
Or was there one somewhere else that I hadn't noticed?

The SOURCE button gives you the raw HTML code/tags so that you can edit it by hand.

Lets say I want to make this text BOLD
The tag or coding for that would be [ b ] and the close coding for that line would be [ /b ]
just without the spacing.
Give it a try. mark something as BOLD and then click the SOURCE button and look at what
it does. You could also do this with an image and it will remove the image and just show the coding string.

[ img ]https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.ford-trucks.com-vbulletin/1280x960/img_5846_1__0f16c49f3669b5b8f2c7cd2a98726e906a5706 31.jpg[ /img ]

That line is how this is shown below. Again just remove the spacing to use the tag/code or add a space to
show what the tag or code happens to be and not have it execute the tag or command.

NOTE : It is always good form to close a tag or command after your done with it. Just like a
programer will put an [ /END ] statment at the end of a program.
