Coloured TEXT

[Rotae]

Okay, so I'm about to give a little course in they proper way to execute coloured text because all of the time I see this: TEXT cropping up.

Here what to do to get your text like this.

First you select the colour you want, in my case green.
*color=Green*TEXT*/color* comes up (but with [] instead of the **).

To get a certain amount of text in that colour, you need to insert the text you want that colour into the part where it says TEXT. You delete the word TEXT entirely and put the sentence that you want that colour, in there.

I hope that made sense. So, just substitute [] in for the **'s and here's what it should look like.

*color=Green*I'm going down the street to get you some orange sherbert.*/color*

It ends up like this:

I'm going down the street ot get you some orange sherbert.

Peace,
Rotae

star - ur brackets (in front of 'thanks' and behind it) need to be facing the other way that should do it ;D

if u go up to the little box that says COLORS and click on the color u want you will see the word TEXT pop up in the white portion u post in and it will be surrounded by all the coding that u dont need to deal with .... all u have to do is replace the word TEXT with whatever u wanna type in
... just make sure u dont deleate the brackets or anything else and only replace the word TEXT with what u have to say
hope that helps a bit as well .. good idea Rotae cuz i been seeing that a lot as well ;D

in case ur wondering on ur screen it looks like this (but with out the spaces in between)...

[ color = Yellow] here is were u put what u wanna write [ / color ]

Thanks Leeny. I'm not very good at explaining things, and I just thought it might help people understand how to work the site. Some people haven't ever used one of the these message boards, and I think that we should help them . Go the Newbies!
