How was I supposed to know that I could even do that?
eos please make my glow go away, it is very annoying and ugly. it is the color of peaches and is very fuzzy looking, and being allergic to peaches it's very awkward to browse the forums with a name that holds both peachy and fuzzy characteristics. also, it is so blurry that I cannot even read my own username properly without squinting. this is very unsettling
please help

Well there was this entire thread on the subject.

There's an option to remove it, Greg.

I'm sure it's just misunderstood.

No one is going to spontaneously die before I find time to add a "remove" system. It's a waste of time I could be devoting to doing that to go in and manually fix everyone who isn't happy.

Maybe you can change the glow to white Greg?

Haven't read the entire thread, or anywhere else on the forum, but have usertitle colours/avatar sizes which were bought beforehand been deleted? I paid $5 for my usertitle colour and now it's gone. Do I get it refunded via Karma, or my usertitle colour re-done. Or is it just... gone?

Not that I'm aware of but then I'm also not entirely clear on what you mean.

Not touching that sort of thing until it's actually stable and working as it should. Think of it as being in beta right now.

Like making the outlines around the words a bit thicker? So instead of seeing a black glow around the word "Khoi", it's just a slight black outline. Hoping this is a better explanation, haha. Kinda rushed what I wanted to state last time.

Not the way it's currently designed. Each glow tag right now requires it's own css element so creating one for every possible width of glow would be nightmarishly annoying.
Even the glow tag couldn't be made to support it easily because as soon as you move into multiple parameters on a bbcode tag you start getting into complex parsing and overrides and exceptions that start to get annoying to code.

Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up a bit. I was never sure if that was even possible, actually learning CSS atm, and I haven't even found a way to make the glow-effect on words yet, haha. Thanks!

You wouldn't really have to make a new class for each possible width of glow. The current glow is pretty much neutral, not too big nor too small, so can stay like that. You'd just have to make 1 new class for the "border" text and place it as a separate option from glow in the market or something.
I haven't worked with CSS in a while, but if you need me to, I can see if I can remember the correct values for making a solid pixel border (probably about 2 pixels thick) over titles rather than a glow.
That is, if you're not opposed to the idea. I don't really mind, just giving my input on it.
Edit:
{text-shadow: -2px 0 black, 0 2px black, 2px 0 black, 0 -2px black}
Something like that, maybe. I haven't tested those values, but I think that's the general idea from what I remember. Kinda like glows, but you're offsetting them by 2 pixels.

The glow itself is a text shadow. You can't overlay two separate text shadows one to control the size and one to control the color. You need a single text shadow that specifies both or the innermost wins.

the market ate it. Until market stops eating things, not putting back more for it to eat. Simple enough now?

Yeah, I know you can't have two separate shadows. It's either glow or border, but you can't have both simultaneously.
How's the code for the glow look? I'm imagining it's something like:
{text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #(color), 0 0 0.2em #(color)}
Right?
