I added "size as an option by just repeating the steps to create a new User Profile field and adding "size" to the code in the postbit template (noting the new field #).

Good job on this addition.

Does this work if your SM? Sorry I noob.

Spazvicious · 07-19-2009, 03:04 AM

Thanks for this. It works perfectly. I might add an option to do font sizes. I'm not great with coding, but this seems simple enough to customize. :D
