It’s cool that you’ve included a way for people who don’t want to take the time to learn CSS formatting by providing an easy to use form that automagically formats it for them. I also really like the real time preview.

What I don’t like is that now I can’t do anything other than color swaps to make my styles stand out. I can’t for example, set what kind of borders I want (solid, dashes, etc.) let alone their size. All you let us choose is fonts, margins and colors.

I’m sure you have a great reason for this like, easing your headaches when converting sloppy CSS into a published forum. Or say, preventing people from doing unintended styles like using an image uri. But really what your doing is limiting creativity.

I would like the ability to use the new auto-styler, as well as an option to format it by hand. I’m sure there are others who would like the same.

Guess what: Forumbuilder sucks.

Buildr Score: 0

I don’t do forumbuilder, because it ****ing sucks. Point? It would be hypocritical for me to have anything other than that 0 score, wouldn’t it?

I don’t know. I’ve talked to a player who did style quite often and they basically had one static style that they changed the colors on. How is that different really?

I made one using this new tool, and had fun playing with it. I’m sure it’ll be hammered off the voting block, but it was still fun to do.

I tried making one but the logo is such garbage that it’s hard to work with.

If the logo is such garbage, make a better one next week?

Garbage is these paint-made logos with non-harmonious colors. That makes styles harder to work with.

Oh – I forgot. Whining is better then trying to do stuff for yourself. Sorry.

It’s kind of a first version as a proof of concept.

Things like border styles, background images and more fun stuff will come later.

That’s good news! I really noticed the styles were pretty much the same this week.

But I still think we need both versions – a StyleBuildr for people who doesn’t know CSS and the normal thing for the people who want to get better results.

If you’re talking about Ricket, I’d say his combination of colors is quite good, but none of his winning styles has any creative element.

Dolphin Love’s style by kittiejenn was one of my favourite styles.

I think this week’s logo is ok. Last week’s kinda sucked, in a sense that without image support there’s no way you can build a good style for it. The winning style didn’t go very well with it either.

Yeah I know from your repetitive and unoriginal font use.
