Adding colour to text
A few weeks ago we could add colour to the text,
now with the new version of the text editing tool
we can do it anymore or i haven't found a way.
It was a great highliting feature, very useful for
emphasizing on key parts of a text.

Re: Adding colour to text
Maybe this can get you by until the admin decides to ?reinstate? the graphical icon for color tags. You can manually wrap your text in the 'color' bbcode

Re: Adding colour to text
The reason I took the option off the menu is actually to try limit the amount of custom colouring that is done.
If it is too easy to colourise the text. Everyone does it. Result... The posts look like Christmas trees, and are hard to read.
I am happy to put this to the vote

Re: Adding colour to text
I hadn't noticed the color tag being abused. Tried to search for uses of the tag but failed. Could ask for examples but that would end up singling out the offending party(s/y/ies/). Personally, I'd have the feature available but feel more strongly that the admin of the board should get the final say on this one. The tag still works manually if you really need it. Sorry couldnt help myself.
My vote goes for the admin. Leave editing gui as is. Remove my posts in this thread if you desire to obfuscate the feature. Heck, disable the feature if you really feel strong about it. What's the fun of being the Admin if you dont have any control over the visual presentation of the website ?

Re: Adding colour to text
Well the admin asked for our vote, so they might want our opinion.. Well, maybe not mine

Re: Adding colour to text
I find it handy if there is a long post and you want to quote part of it rather than fill space with the whole post with the copy and paste...
But it's not a big deal as you can use italics as long as you remember to turn it off before you type your reply...

Re: Adding colour to text
I have enabled some options to the WYSIWYG editor.
If we get too much 'abuse' I will remove.

Re: Adding colour to text
I think you've just showed a good reason.. but who the hell is going to use this colour anyway?

Re: Adding colour to text
This one is a whole lot more suitable I think!
Then you can say pretty much everything you want! Only problem is that you need to check first which of the backgrounds your post will have, lol

No, I typed it normally, and the fun thing is that there is forum code (and a button in the editor for it) to reverse text directionjhsa wrote:!..tsrif repap a no nwod ti etorw uoy teb I

Re: Adding colour to text
i thought it was a snippet of errant code that snuck out after a few gins, but then I realised what had happened.
Just mind you don't get the PC brigade from other parts of the world trying to insist we do it their way all the time.
