You can also use hex codes (i think) to do colours. I dont know how to determine them but the syntax is #'hex1''hex2''hex3' inplace of the text colour. For example "#e80808". Bold Italic and Underline for bold < b >text< /b > without the spaces after the "<" for italics < i >text< /i > without spaces for underline < u >text< /u > without spaces to mix, < b >< i >< u >text< /u >< /i >< /u > without spaces.. and make sure to put the end tags in the reverse order of the beginning tags Links: Like this < a href="http://vives.dyndns.org" >Link Description< /a > it is important you have the 'http://' in the web address More Codes here Imbedded Images: < color="black;background-image:url(http://members.shaw.ca/alosynth/Images/F_ranger1M.jpg);width:64px;height:101px" > < /color > ~Alosynth  Alosynth Joined: 11 Apr 2003 Total Posts: 1324 Send PM   Re: Testing new forum features Posted: 25 Jul 2003 07:04 PM I moved this post from where it was so you all can see it and learn how to do all the colours and other formatting of posts in this new system. Feel free to add any other codes you find. For example.. Changing font size This can be done with the colour tag. After you put in the colour you want, add a semi-colon, then 'font-size', a full colon, and the size you want and then close the quotes. The default size is 12. example < color="black;font-size:14" > Text < /color > ~Alosynth ~Alosynth  Quietus Joined: 29 Jun 2003 Total Posts: 803 Send PM   Re: Testing new forum features Posted: 28 Aug 2003 01:16 AM i just added the ability to wrap text with 'quote' tags as such: this may be someone else's post and it auto-colors it. slightly better than doing it manually. soon i'll add a button that addes in the quote tags for you. so the tags are: < quote > this may be someone else's post < /quote > ((no spaces next to the < and >)) also, it nests very well, as such: this may be someone else's post this is a quote of someone quoting someone else so this would be: < quote > < quote >this may be someone else's post</ quote > this is a quote of someone quoting someone else </ quote >  Alosynth Joined: 11 Apr 2003 Total Posts: 1324 Send PM   Re: Testing new forum features Posted: 28 Aug 2003 01:32 AM I just added the ability to wrap text with 'quote' tags as such: this may be someone else's post and it auto-colors it. slightly better than doing it manually. soon i'll add a button that addes in the quote tags for you. so the tags are: < quote > this may be someone else's post < /quote > ((no spaces next to the < and >)) also, it nests very well, as such: this may be someone else's post this is a quote of someone quoting someone else so this would be: < quote > < quote >this may be someone else's post</ quote > this is a quote of someone quoting someone else </ quote > Nice one Q ~Alosynth  Quietus Joined: 29 Jun 2003 Total Posts: 803 Send PM   Re: Testing new forum features Posted: 28 Aug 2003 10:10 AM Actually, one more change to this (when I get home tonight) is to keep the colors consistent. So, if your text was the first one quoted, then in all of the subsequent quotes, it'll always remain olive. That way when looking at this history of quotes, the same quote will always have the same color. So, expect that later this eve -Q  Quietus Joined: 29 Jun 2003 Total Posts: 803 Send PM   Re: Testing new forum features Posted: 30 Aug 2003 11:32 PM Actually, one more change to this (when I get home tonight) is to keep the colors consistent.

Named Colors These 16 colors can be specified by name; they were chosen for the HTML&#160;3.2 recommendation because they are the standard colors supported in the Windows VGA palette. aqua black blue fuchsia green gray lime maroon navy olive purple red silver teal white yellow RGB Hexadecimal Coded Colors Colors may also be specified by six-character codes representing their relative red/green/blue (RGB) values, where the possible values for each color component are 00, 33, 66, 99, cc, and ff. The six charts below display the 216 possible colors in the Netscape/MSIE palette with their hexadecimal RGB codes (a seventh chart displays the gray scale). In each chart the blue value is constant, the vertical axis represents increasing red values, and the horizontal axis represents increasing green values. The six charts can be visualized as a cube composed of 216 cubelets; the total cube has six layers of thirty-six cubelets; each cubelet is a unique color. Using this metaphor, black (#000000) in the lower left of the first chart is one corner of the cube and white (#ffffff) in the upper right of the last chart is the opposite corner of the cube; the cubelets running through the body of the cube in a line from black to white comprise the gray scale. ff0000 ff3300 ff6600 ff9900 ffcc00 ffff00 cc0000 cc3300 cc6600 cc9900 cccc00 ccff00 990000 993300 996600 999900 99cc00 99ff00 660000 663300 666600 669900 66cc00 66ff00 330000 333300 336600 339900 33cc00 33ff00 000000 003300 006600 009900 00cc00 00ff00 ff0033 ff3333 ff6633 ff9933 ffcc33 ffff33 cc0033 cc3333 cc6633 cc9933 cccc33 ccff33 990033 993333 996633 999933 99cc33 99ff33 660033 663333 666633 669933 66cc33 66ff33 330033 333333 336633 339933 33cc33 33ff33 000033 003333 006633 009933 00cc33 00ff33 ff0066 ff3366 ff6666 ff9966 ffcc66 ffff66 cc0066 cc3366 cc6666 cc9966 cccc66 ccff66 990066 993366 996666 999966 99cc66 99ff66 660066 663366 666666 669966 66cc66 66ff66 330066 333366 336666 339966 33cc66 33ff66 000066 003366 006666 009966 00cc66 00ff66 ff0099 ff3399 ff6699 ff9999 ffcc99 ffff99 cc0099 cc3399 cc6699 cc9999 cccc99 ccff99 990099 993399 996699 999999 99cc99 99ff99 660099 663399 666699 669999 66cc99 66ff99 330099 333399 336699 339999 33cc99 33ff99 000099 003399 006699 009999 00cc99 00ff99 ff00cc ff33cc ff66cc ff99cc ffcccc ffffcc cc00cc cc33cc cc66cc cc99cc cccccc ccffcc 9900cc 9933cc 9966cc 9999cc 99cccc 99ffcc 6600cc 6633cc 6666cc 6699cc 66cccc 66ffcc 3300cc 3333cc 3366cc 3399cc 33cccc 33ffcc 0000cc 0033cc 0066cc 0099cc 00cccc 00ffcc ff00ff ff33ff ff66ff ff99ff ffccff ffffff cc00ff cc33ff cc66ff cc99ff ccccff ccffff 9900ff 9933ff 9966ff 9999ff 99ccff 99ffff 6600ff 6633ff 6666ff 6699ff 66ccff 66ffff 3300ff 3333ff 3366ff 3399ff 33ccff 33ffff 0000ff 0033ff 0066ff 0099ff 00ccff 00ffff 000000 333333 666666 999999 cccccc ffffff ~Alosynth Previous Thread :: Next Thread  Page 1 of 1   Forums  > Essential Information  > Essential Information  > Forum features
