Save and load posting formats.

I'm getting tired of saving my posting formats in Notepad and then having to retrieve them every time I decide to copy a different thing. There should be a way to save and load posting formats. Sort of like the draft system, except when you load it, it doesn't delete itself.

If you guys can make a draft system, I don't think this should be too hard to code.

By the way, this is what a posting format is if you don't know what I'm talking about:

Code: Select all

[center][size=85]•[color=#22ac8c][/color]•[/size][/center]

This has been suggested before, but was turned down because people would start putting spammy things, like pictures and whatnot, in all of their posts, if I remember right. If it could be something like the text color/size/alignment, it'd probably work, but there's always the chance for abuse of that feature. :<

Doing that is already against the rules. An ability to save a posting format wouldn't really affect people putting spammy things. People already have some way of saving their posting formats, just look at the Things That Annoy You Thread. This would just be more convienient. I don't get why it would promote spam. You can spam perfectly fine without it as well.

I know, but it has been said that Tess and Nick will not make it happen -

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=273676&p=6767890&hilit=post+color+setting#p6767890

Different reasons than I remembered, though. Sorry about that... I had to search for those posts.

"I'm not particularly keen because I hate the stuff people do to their font and I think it needs no encouragement"
I don't really understand what Tess is saying? I mean, why make the option to center and color text if you dislike it...

I don't see any true reasons to not have this.
