Happy New Year - Looking for ways to improve LQ.

The editor doesn't know which fonts you have installed, and simply presents you with a list of common fonts.

How do I/we do it then? Get the monospaced fonts we prefer to show up in our posts?

[font=font name]text[/font]

Thanks, will try it.
To monospace, or not to monospace, that is the question.

brianL · 01-12-2011, 09:21 AM

Will it work with Consolas...5...4...3...2...1...0
YES.
Thanks again, Jeremy.

Actually, I should have been able to work that out for myself: use font tags.

I wasn't clear - I was suggesting they be in the UserCP section of the Home page

Thanks for the feedback. We have no plans to add that feature at this time, but the LQ homepage will be changed quite a bit as part of an upcoming upgrade.

another one i thought of, but [table] [tr] [th] and [td] bbcodes that map to <table> <tr> <th> <td> for users to define tables in posts? might be useful for formatting

MTK358 · 01-14-2011, 07:01 PM

And inline code tags, too...

LinuxQuestions is great. Thanks to everyone who works to make it happen.

In the My LQ, My Posts, My Blog, or My Threads, I'd like to have a link to a plaintext, frameless and verbose HTML version of this information. Similarly for other users under their Statistics, find all posts'threads'blogs...

The all posts, threads, blogs feature I think is great, but sometimes hard to navigate as it retains the look, but paraphrases the information.
Then in the next edition have check boxes next to the posts'threads'blogs in the list that can be chosen, added or removed, to be made into plaintext html.
Something akin to GNU's documentation options...HTML(all on one page), HTML(With one page per node), HTML(Compressed) etc.
Options :: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/
All On One Page :: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html

I am in favor of using open source forum software. I am sure if there are any bugs, there should be some LQ users who can solve the problem.

As well as an icon indicating the Linux distribution it would be informative to see whether they are using 64 bits or 32... !
