Any way to diable message board text colors?

It seems to be all the rage among the kids now to pick a favorite color and write all their message board posts in it. Is there any way to set forum prefs to just draw all the text in white?

    Would that be canon?

    Nope.

    There might be some kind of browser plugin, depending on what browser you like to use... but there's no such function in vBulletin.

    Ah-Ha-ha-Ha!

    I am annoying! :p


    BenderTheRobot, this is what you do. Right-click the annoyingly colored text, such as mine. Hold down the right button as you HIGHLIGHT the whole text.

    And there you go; a readable text for your enjoyment.

    I have to left click. Even then it's blue on a white background, which is more corrosive to my eyes than yellow

    No way only grown ups use colored text. Your info is all wrong.

    Well, I chose this gold color for a reason; easier to read against black than say Red or Dark Orchid.

    I would mention cutting/pasting posts into Notepad, but that is slightly more work. :-/

    I actually just skip over colored writing. When they complain about me not reading their post... wait, I skip that, too. Solves the whole thing. :)

    That's exactly what I do.

    I can't understand why my post is not directly below yours.


    By the way you suck Monkey balls


    :D

    Well, that is one way to do it, too. :p

    Of course, you are probably not reading this post. It is an irony that I am agreeing to your methods worthy of a Twilight Zone episode, no? :p

    Thanks! No more ugly "gold" text!

    Sticky!

    p.s., using colored text for all your posts means you smell bad and have questionable taste in art and music as well!

    Yeah, this is real sticky material.

    PEW PEW I SHOOT YOU WITH PINK LAZORS HAHA!

    Edit: In seriousness it's not a horrible idea, but probably unnecessary in the end.
