That is a textarea where you can use spacebar to pad things out and very simply format a page of text. If you want to go fancy, we can choose from a range of fonts. A large textarea you can type and format things in, then preview and if happy, "publish" which saves the note. When you open notes, instead of getting a string of text, you get a 'page' IE: An actual note.

Bonus Option: Ability to freehand draw on a note, thus allowing people to include drawn images. Possibly of cocks.
itd be funny if it was freehand-only

simplest method AND drawings AND being able to see everyones terrible penmanship? how can you pass that up??

Are you sure about this? Writing page up and page down with a mouse??
What kind of UI do you imagine, MS Paint style???

Absolutely. Just as long as we get decent zoom, so I can edit pixel by pixel. Hmm, maybe a compromise: let us type normally, but make us draw our own font.

Yes, own fonts was what I had in mind too. Maybe uploaded bitmaps to the forum account, like with DF tilesheets. On the other hand freeform drawing and fancy Initials would be fine.

:(

how can i laugh at penmanship if everyone just uses fonts instead, they download one font out of a total of maybe two fonts because people wont bother making more than that because theyre lazy. gauteamus you are the reason handwriting is a dying art! if my vote mattered for anything which it doesnt i would give you a big thumbs down!!

Force people to make font in-game, and give them no import option. Then everyone will have his own handwriting, except people trying to forge other people's handwriting.

being able to draw would be great but typing the letters is a must.

Scope creep dudes. One font for typing and an option for freestyle, simple.
