What is your suggestion?:

Adding standard text formats and the ability to edit them
And / or
Format painting

 
Here are some examples on formats:
 

Headline

The code for this format includes size, color and bold text.

[size=8][/font][color=#008080][b]Headline[/b][/color][/size]

 
 

Main text

The code for this format includes size and font.

[size=5][font=courier new,courier,monospace]Main text[/font][/size]

 
 

Cursive

The code for this format includes size, color, font and italic.

[size=5][color=#ffffff][font=comic sans ms,cursive][i]Cursive[/i][/font][/color][/size]

 
 
These were just examples of formats. (Not specific format suggestions)

As of now, you have to implement each of these format options individually.

 

Here's my routine every time I write main text for a topic.

If standard formats were added, you'd be able to mark the text and only have to click one button, like an "M" for main text, "H" for headline etc.

Something like this, but obviously neater and beyond my MS Paint skills:

If the formats are added, the ability to customize them to suit each individual, would be brilliant.

The formats will (hopefully) make posts in the future more visually appealing, but if everyone uses the same format they'll lack personality.

 

If each player could customize the formats to suit their taste, I believe it would be for the best.

The customization could be available in the editor options of the tool bar:

Another good option is the implementation of a "Format painter"

Simply mark a text which you've formatted, copy the format, and then you can apply said format.

 

Here's a video example using Microsoft Word, explaining it better than I ever could:

 
 
 
Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
No
 
 
How would this benefit Alora?:
I believe simple and easy editing tools will increase the standard of forums posts in the future.
The posts will be more visually appealing - also, it would save me, among others, a lot of time :FeelsMomoMan:

 

 

This isn't something that should be prioritized over pressing matters or in-game content in general

But the forums deserves some quality of life updates too

I cant say no to making posting visually appealing, especially making it easier to get it done.

 

Really wonderfully put suggestion, keep up the great work!

Wouldn’t mind seeing something to improve it, if not then I wouldn’t really mind either. Some buttons in there are confusing to some, it takes a bit of time to learn it. Neutral.

a nice QoL update for forums, my main concern is the @ing option almost never works for me and I think that requires more attention, neutral
