Subject: I think we need more option when posting...

Maybe it's just me, but I have noticed so many other forums that have options such as changing text color, size, adding smiles, ect.

Now I'm not saying we exactly need those features, but we have no other options other than the
italic,
bold,
underline,
quotes, and
links.

So what options would you like us to have?

BTW this isn't a "OMG ADD THIS NAO!!!!11!" thread, but a thread to see what the community thinks.

EDIT: A poll for this thread is here



So far these have made a couple of appearances,

Strike out
spoiler tag
bullets/ points
images (Trusted members only)

Keep the ideas coming!

Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Back in my day, we only had 16 colors...

There used to be abilities to alter color and size, but these were removed when they became Weapons of Mass Obstruction of the forums.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

I just think that having all those options would clutter up the forums, i think it looks sophisticated as is.

Alt codes should be re-added.

And a certain alt code should be removed.

--->­<----- that one should be removed.

The employees can do all of that crap. However, I think it makes the place rather childish if everyone could do it.

I read this as 'communist'.

If we could add smilies, I might just leave. Makes everyone seem like a child.

Yeah, not so long ago (like 6 years), color codes were added.
You can imagine how long that lasted...

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

I'd like a strikeout option, maybe even a spoiler tag one too.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

"I don't care if it's God's own anti-Son of a -blam!- Machine or a giant hula-hoop!"

Those are all very abusable, and would transform "The Flood" into a colored mess. Besides abuse, you would no longer be able to differentiate forum ninja, from Bungie employee, from member.

These forums look much more professional and clean than most on the internet. Plus, we had the colored text option in the past, and clearly the Bungie.net web-team didn't like it. So chances are, it won't be brought back.

You are able to get your point across now using the avaliable 'bb codes'.
