Is there a way to set a default font family and size to all my posts?

I know you can change your default view so that all posts appear a certain font, size and color when you view the forums. That is under My Profile. You go to edit options and it's toward the bottom. But as for a default for posts you make I don't think so. At least I've never figured out how to. I've always had to go into advanced and set my font, size and color myself for each post I make.

To piggy back is there a way to change a font permantly for responses or do you have to do that manually each time?

@sarahsweets Is there a difference? Changing the font for responses requires too much work for the results intended. Not sure if there is or there isn't, but I see your point

I'm like 99.9% sure that you just have to do it every time. I've used this site for years and have never found an option to change my response/thread font. I've always had to just do it post by post.

Yes, I think this is the case. It's not a big deal. Changing font type and size take just two clicks. I am not sure if changing the forums font type and size would change the font type and size for the posts. I didn't find the font I like, so I didn't try this.

Let's see how this works. There's a new option under Edit Options, Miscellaneous Options:

https://forums.psychcentral.com/prof...do=editoptions

to allow you to set your posting default font type, size, and color.

@DocJohn Thanks a lot. It works perfectly. I wrote this reply from the quick reply box where there is no font type/size option

EDIT: I am not sure the mention worked, though, because the name is not clickable in my post!

EDIT2: when I try the advanced option to write a post, I see the writing in the font type/size I chose, but when I preview it, it appears in the forums defaults!!

EDIT3: OK, but when I post it, it appears as in the chosen font type/size. So, the preview doesn't reflect the actual appearance before posting. After posting it and trying to edit, the preview works fine.

Thank you @DocJohn.
