Announcements in RED

[DubTrub]

Drauk How do you do that?

I admin another aviation jelsoft vb bulletin board, but have not managed to do that (looks good). Any tips?

You can have as many puke colours as you like

What you do is select the color option on the menu above the type box, and then do your thing.

J U S T D O whatever takes your imagination where it wants to go

[DubTrub]

Yes I can do it when typing too

But in Announcements?

[drauk]

Use the appropriate HTML tags and turn on the HTML option.

[DubTrub]

Mmmm...tried that, I get

Announcement: [ COLOR=Red]Test[/COLOR ] (without the spaces)

Without the html formatting actually occurring.

[BOAC]

Me too, Drauk. With html on and [font color=red] etc I get a blank announcement

Mixing html with BBCode?

Are you possibly using BBcode instead of html?

I would have thought the html would have <> instead of [] etc.

[BOAC]

Sorry that had been a slip of the keyboard! Yes, using <> and getting a blank message line.

[DubTrub]

Well I tried < COLOR=Red>Test</COLOR > with html on, BBcode off, vice versa, all combinations under the sun...and it still doesn't work.

Back to sucking lemons, methinks!

Thanks for the replies, though.

[drauk]

< COLOR=Red>Test</COLOR > isn't valid HTML even with the < and >.

Turn on the option for HTML code and use valid HTML and you should be fine.

[BOAC]

Dubtrub - I've just had a lesson from Drauk and wonder if you have been doing the same as I was? The message needs to go into 'Title' and not 'announcement'?

[DubTrub]

Thanks, chaps.

<font color="#FF0000">Test</font> produces the result.

What an ordeal.
