    Fancy fonts, basically. Large and small, different colors and styles.

    I believe it depends on the message board you're using.
    At MSN it has 'Other' as a font option (first pic )
    Here the choices are limited to what they offer.(2nd pic)
    I know you have to use HTML settings for your posts for the fancy stuff to work.
    More colors are usually easy to get in the message window toolbars.

    Thanks for the compliment, Halo!
    You give me too much credit though.
    Remember the old saying: 'A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words' ?..well..I too am a tad 'lazy' and find it much easier to post the little screenshots than type those Thousand Words!
    ;) :D

    We get to pick 'our own' sooner or later, eh?

    What would YOU have, Mada?...or do you want to surprise us?

    I'm not sure! I've seen users like Insomniac, who isn't listed on the forum leaders page with custom user level names, but I haven't found the option for myself!


    I'll never tell! ;)

    you won't as that option is not available... custom titles are random and if an Admin is feeling in mischievious mood or if someone is seen doing good things then a title can appear, ASK tho and thou shall not recieve.. or receive what you wanted :)

    The Chinese have a saying: "May you get what you ask for." Actually, it's more a curse.

    Those special titles have been bestowed as a prize to many who have asked the same question.
