How to add colour to your post:
Wee Geek has spoken with Smarter Geek...and...you can get colour by using some HTML code. However, I've heard that the colour doesn't 'last' and gets overwritten. We'll see. Posts at the start of this thread are in colour because they were moved from the old server when colour was still a feature.Write your whole post then decide where you want your colour.Click </> above.Look for the word/sentence/paragraph you want in colour. You now need to type something before and something after this word/sentence/paragraph to make it change colour.Before the word/sentence/paragraph type
After the word/sentence/paragraph type
