Can we get a button for Strike throughs?

Isn't it already there?

In regards to fonts, I use the font-button pretty regularly, and know I would have use for one, especially one with a wider range of fonts than we have had so far.  (My experiments on the SMF site so far have been encouraging, in this regard)

More fonts and stuff are always nice but can probably be installed pretty easily later.

Actually internet fonts are largely limited to the "universal fonts" that all browsers recognize and IIRC SMF already has support for pretty much all of them. I'll look into re-integrating the font button though (it isn't a list mind you just a button that sticks in a font tag).

[Ninja D!]

Since it isn't a list, will it still tell you the options when you hover over (like it does here)?

I have seen forums use other fonts before and when your computer or browser or whatever doesn't recognize it, they simply revert to your default. I couldn't begin to tell you how that works, though.

Actually, that makes me think of something odd -- The fancy fonted part of Vreeg's sig looks entirely different on my iPad than it does on my computer and my phone.

No, all it does is put a font tag in. I could make a dropdown except I don't know all the fonts it supports and so wouldn't know what to put into the dropdown box. As for forums using other fonts when your browser doesn't recognize them that isn't the forum doing that, that's your browser reverting to a default. I'll see what I can do about finding the supported fonts.

Just a question:  This has probably been answered somewhere already, but when the shift happens, will the normal address HERE redirect to the 2.0 forums, or will we have to put in the "/SMF" (or just get a new bookmark).  Doesn't really matter either way, just curious.

When the shift happens this forum will disappear (it will get archived and then wiped off the server) and be replaced by the new forums.

Edit: ok I added a font drop-down, I realized that there are really only 3 font families that are fully browser compatible (all browsers have them on install). Those being serif, sans-serif, and monospace. I added these 3 options, note that you can still do font=(any font you can think of) it's just that those on the list are the fonts that everyone will see when you use them (you can also use fonts inside these families like times for serif, but they will look largely the same as their family's font).

Will cbg 2 be more Android friendly?

I don't own an android (or any other smart phone for that matter) so I have no way of testing this. I'd love to make it so if possible but right now any attempt to do so would be largely me flailing around in the dark hoping I got it right

This CBG isn't bad on an Droid 1, with the exception of the front page.

I also just as a personal preference think a darker blue for the banner would be cool, from a "looks" point of view, even though the current blue is closer to what we have always had.

I still have all the photoshop files for the new logo (the one on the wiki) and that banner if you guys are interested.

Good heavens man where have you been? Send me those files.

I found an oddity.

If you edit a post in which you made a die roll, even if you didn't touch the die roll code, the edited post comes with a big red message saying you altered the dice roll.

That's part of the dice plugin. The guy coded it for a larger, less trustworthy community. I could try to remove that but it'd take alot of searching around and will probably have to wait for later.
