I think if everyone knew how to use colored fonts it would start to be abused.
Not that I'm saying you would, but you know what i mean.

Bror, can you edit the above as an example that not everyone could see?

I don't even know it myself.

Well... I see that it is quite a "hidden" feature. At least I know how to make links.

ooC: since i have had many ez boards and msg boards like this with VB Code. heres what ya do

to get it bold type [ b ] text here [ / b ] (just dont leave spaces between brackets)

same thing with italic - [ i ] [/ i ]

and websites addys = [ url ] [/ url]

we cant color the text because he has the codes turn off for that..turn them on bror! =)

No, the colors are turned on.

The syntax : [ color = red ] <your text> [ / color ]

Without all the spaces in between. You can also use darkred or magenta or green or yellow or whatever...

To be sure how your post looks, use the option: "Do you wish to preview before posting?" Just enable the thing.

The "list" thing :

[ list ] - starts a list
[ * ] - marks a listed comment
[ * ] - marks the next listed comment
...
[ / list ] - ends the listing

looks like this :

Blablabla <text before>

listed thing number one blablablablablablablablablablablablabla
listed thing number two
blablablablablablablablablablablablabla
...
...

Text after the list.

You can also use the commands [ b ] <text> [ / b ] for bold, i for italic, u for underlined etc.

Well, don't blind us with mind-dazzling colors now...

And, especially Lord Chaos, Use the "edit Post" option ! You can change posted stuff, add things and all you want WITHOUT spamming the board with an annoying new post.

Well now that the method to use colored text is revealed, I hope nobody will abuse them just for the sake of making their own post look unique...
