I think certain messletters fonts shouldn't be allowed. A lot of them show up as just boxes on mobile and it really annoys me when I can't read someone's screen name or the name of a thread
Personally I think that there should be a rule regarding this? I hate to be "that person" but it really isn't fair to some users who have trouble reading things like messletters

Also messletters can be hard to read sometimes, really really REALLY hard.

I can change the font of mine if needed, but I believe it's one of the simpler ones... Does mine show up as boxes to y'all?

Eh, not all of them are invisible. Only a small few. I also find it frustrating, but that doesn't constitute making a rule, imo. Just sayin'

I think certain types should be barred, not all of it though. Only the ones that don't show up on mobile.

I can see why you think that, but asking people to change for you is controversial to say the least. I say it's fair that there should be font guidelines and people would get the incentive to use x font instead of y font. I just don't think fonts are worth things like bans, warnings, and strikes. I hope I made sense in this post.

I guess it's a little annoying when you're on a phone, but it's not a huge issue.

At least on mobile for my phone, some messletters show up as random letters for some reason, I don't know why.

It'll be difficult to pinpoint which exact mess letters are messing up, and, for me, all messletters show up on my phone and only 75% do on my ipad, so it may differ for people. I think we'll just have to deal w/ it honestly, since it wouldn't be fair to others who can see it and use it for clans and other things.

I think an option to change them to another font in the options would be the best way, but it could be difficult to implement.

Quite honestly I think it's a way of allowing people the freedom of creativity, it gives their RP titles and screennames a look that's unique to them. Even thought it isn't fair to those who can't read the messletters on mobile, it is also unfair to take away that option of freedom from the mass amounts of users that use them, so because of that I can't support this. I also just want to add to my reply that with technological advances nowadays, messletters won't be too much of a problem on mobile devices soon enough if not already, which as of right now my phone reads messletters just fine.On my mobile, your name is Winerbreee. XD I also can't truly support a full ban, as that takes away options from a different group of users. I think there needs to be some sort of thread that alerts people to the issue and suggests the most effective Messletter fonts. That way, people have the option of going "hey, this font is still cool, and people on mobile can probably see it too!" I don't think the technological advances is as valid of a point--not everyone is going to be able to use new devices that read Messletters.

Both points are valid, but I am going to air on the side of Freedom here.

Like a setting messletters on/off Well given that it's Freeforums, a domain associated with Proboards, I can tell you right now that there is likely no way to implement this. I've not necessarily purchased any advanced options like what seems to have been done here, but I don't think a messletters toggle can be added, unless there is some way to do it through coding but even then it'd become a lost cause if it's heavy coding. Not trying to sound negative here but I've built a couple of forums using Proboards and Freeforums is basically the same thing because again, associated domain, and I've looked up and down all settings I've had access to. Not saying I'm right as I could be wrong, but I am saying it could easily be likely.

I don't really care about screennames/signatures/titles when it's just a little fancy text but when people make entire posts with messletters it's just illegible and to be quite honest I am not going to spend the time deciphering a post that I can't read

Well some messletters aren't that bad but some are just super bad to try to read.
