Community CSS (Style Sheet) Formatting
Font formatting is controlled by a default stylesheet. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is now the W3C standard and compliant way to format text. In keeping with the latest standards, ezboard has switched to this format for reasons of power and flexibility. Having the fonts controlled by CSS gives ezboard ADMINS much more control in displaying their ezboard text than previously possible.
The ezboard Admin has 3 choices:
- Do nothing and use the default stylesheet (recommended for maximum browser compatibility)
- Add a stylesheet to the headsection in the Control Center > My Community Tab > Custom HTML area to use in conjunction with the default
- Disable the default stylesheet by unchecking the Use Default Stylesheet in Control Center > My Community Tab > Custom HTML area and specify your own or choose from the options provided in the headsection.
