But I spent time and effort on my nice pastel signature colors! You think I chose Deep Sky Blue and Salmon on a whim?! Why, you meddling rascal! You may have gotten away with it THIS TIME.

But, I don't mind the colors and size changes too much (with size, CTRL+MouseWheel easily fixes that)... it's when there's a huge block of text in stupid font (see Producer's Letter) that I want to force the default font. I tried editing the script so that it only forces a font change but not color or size, but couldn't get it to work.

If it's not to much trouble, could you please whip up a script that only prevents font change?

I sent it in a response to his PM, but I am not afraid to say it in public, too:

I found one script here on userscripts.org, which the FireFox page for Greasemonkey links to. There are probably others as well.

I've not used this, and it has no comments/feedback on it, so I'd be careful to check out the script before using it.
I'll point out that my version is a heavily stripped down and slightly changed version of the above script.

Hmm... I'll try.

Here you go. This doesn't change color or fontsize. It only forces a san-serif font family.
Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name           Forums font-only changer
// @namespace      meh
// @include        http://boards.cityofheroes.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
var arFontTags = document.getElementsByTagName('font');
for (var i = arFontTags.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    var elmFontTag = arFontTags[i];
    var elmSpan = document.createElement('font');
    elmSpan.innerHTML = elmFontTag.innerHTML;
    elmSpan.style.fontFamily = 'sans-serif ! important';
    elmSpan.size = elmFontTag.size;
    elmSpan.style.color = elmFontTag.color;
    elmFontTag.parentNode.replaceChild(elmSpan, elmFontTag);
}
It works in all browsers/add-ons that allow userscripts.

I'd like an option i can check to just disable the text coloring. Much nicer on the eyes with the default coloring.
This should work for that:
Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name           Forums font color-only changer
// @namespace      meh
// @include        http://boards.cityofheroes.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
var arFontTags = document.getElementsByTagName('font');
for (var i = arFontTags.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    var elmFontTag = arFontTags[i];
    var elmSpan = document.createElement('font');
    elmSpan.innerHTML = elmFontTag.innerHTML;
    elmSpan.size = elmFontTag.size;
    elmFontTag.parentNode.replaceChild(elmSpan, elmFontTag);
}

Actually the complaints were about poor color choices in the body text, not the signatures.
