    #21E2E3 is a blue colour expressed in HTML Hex. Not sure if that is related.

    Which Internet browser are you using? Do you have another browser you can try the page with?

    Thanks for your reply,

    I think I have opened a can of worms so not to worry anymore. Its just a few people post once a day with random letters and numbers and I assumed it was twitter or something.

    I cant imagine the people that post them would know anything about html hex, whatever that is :o

    I am using internet explorer and the are posting exactly as I did above.
