Hi I have noticed a few people have been adding colour to their text. How do you do this? Makes it look more interesting. Thanks :)

Katrina Yes it is possible.....As you have seen on these boards... But that it only because the odd few slip through. GR don't like it and if there is a big influx of threads in colour and/or bold then they delete each individual thread. A year or so ago there was a day where everyone started playing with colour and bold and once Genes spotted it all the threads got 'pulled'. I never did find out why Genes objected to the individuality but maybe someone can enlighten you (and me) :)) Chris

Chris (and katrina) I wasn't a culprit last time but have been told that the problem was more with people changing the colour of their names. Seemingly this caused the system to crash. GR have prevented that happening now (or at least I haven't worked out how to do it). Coloured threads tend to get pulled not only if big influx but I also know a couple of weeks ago there was someone who reported them. If Katrina works out how to do it should point out that Red causes people with eye problems stress and yellow is unreadable. I get away with a one or two coloured threads most days. But then again I'm naughty. tee hee T.O.R. ;o))
