Title: COLORS!
Post by: jahnahisti on April 23, 2007, 03:35:14 AM
Just found out we can do colors here. This is wild! Just type your colored text and put it in between brackets like this. And make sure Enable HTML code in message is clicked. Sure is a nice change.

I got it... thanks for sharing!!!
test for blue II

Hmmm... any other colors besides blue, purple, and red? Yellow works, if you just type in yellow -but it's hard to see...

If you're going to use yellow text, you better time your message to get the gray background.

I can see that!!! Thanks again for the share, jahnahisti! I just gave it a little practice workout on another thread, and I've got it down pretty well.
Uhm... any other colors that'cha know of?
I see that, for red, purple, and yellow, you just type in the spelling of the color... but blue has a alphanumeric code -for whatever reason.
Any other colors that'cha know of? I'd love to be able to write in orange, green, and pink!!! And maybe brown and lime green!!!

Some are awfully hard to see, but I believe this is all of them... If I never make another contribution to the Alembicians at least I can give the gift of COLOR to some! Here you go 8 String. Enjoy. Lime is killer as is thistle-khaki-aquamarine!

[size=0]BIG WORDS![/size] BIG WORDS (the second one is for comparison) are another option I just found.
Headings too!
This is a heading
centered text too
And all together now!

y'know i only did this because i was curious as to the extent of html allowed on posts for this particular website. i was noticing that a lot of html wasn't allowed to do it's thing when entered here so if there's anything else you can do beside links, you should post it here, since we're curious. if nothing else for a cool signature, ?rian

Make sure you have the Enable HTML Code box checked.

Post by: the_8_string_king on April 26, 2007, 06:06:54 PM
I did. Right off the bat. But it didn't work. Repeatedly.
And I've done every thing the same way. Red worked by itself -but the others didn't.
And now it does work. Even though I've been doing the same thing.
Hmm. Well, thanks again for sharing.

Interesting. I just copied the previous text and NOW it worked... even the the HTML was checked before (and always is)... there must have been a glitch in the system, or something.

That is pretty cool Brian. I'm surprised this wasn't explored before.

I'm sorry Chuck, but when I read this I felt reminded of everything that is wrong in this world. Get a Mac! Mac/windows PC as Alembic/Squier.

Try Firefox 2 from Mozilla.com. It is more current and a much better browser IMHO.

You know it only works with Firefox on my pc, not IE-7.

Post by: chuck on April 27, 2007, 02:08:00 PM
Thanks for the onfo but apparently win.98 will not support this or mabye I'm missing something.I know about as much about computers as I do about Calculus.

Post by: keith_h on April 27, 2007, 02:16:11 PM
Chuck, It is related to the browser not the operating system. Firefox will run on Win 98 so you really should give it a try. If you need help with it send me an e-mail and I can give you a call.

Couldn't agree more James. In the UK at the moment, Which? is advertising a free, Easy to use PC guide. Should be just three words in my opinion:
Get a Mac!
