These threads are for experimenting with stuff to try on the CB (such as new fonts). I'll begin:

Did it work?

Also, Admin, why don't you guys enable HTML code to be recognized in Chatterbox posts? Then we could pretty much have a really cool, jazzed-out CB, as long as we knew HTML.

 

 Your request is beyond the understanding of this Admin, but I've passed it on to our Webmaster. I do believe in the current format, all comments post in the same font, regardless of what font they are when submitted to us.

HTML code would be a wonderful thing, as there are so many possibilities! You would have to put a throttle on links (of course).

The only thing that worries me about that is people may try to make their font excessively large, small, or illegible.

What do the numbers at the bottom of your post mean, L? I've had several theories (word count? number of Chatterbox posts?), but I'm still unsure and I've seen it under many of your posts.

Word count.

JDD has been experimenting a lot with the fonts on the CB site and pasting them into posts. Now, I take up the torch!

A family of magazines that grows with your child’s changing interests. (darn, didn't work)


 

Hooray, big bolded text!

Weird, the bolded text didn't work when it got posted. It seems like whenever JDD does posts with red or blue cursive text, they work, and he says he got them from this website. Huh.

Will GIFs work? Let's see. (see below)

And I want to see if awesome text from CoolText shows up. That would give announcements some flair.

Wow! The CoolText failed...epicly (although I think there may possibly be a way to fix it), but the lovely GIF worked! Yay! This is a breakthrough!

That is so cool!

OK, trying again.
