I just updated my email details, now I find I can't log on - does that mean this post will not appear?

Well it did post, hmmm - so whats the point in registering then?

Ok, so I'm not as smart as some. Just realised that by checking my email, and resubmitting registration all would be fine.

Cheers!.

Well spotted. Configuration updated so you cannot post without registering. I am getting to know this new system too... The colour comes through fine for me?

Hi Thomas,

I notice your able to use colourPerhaps 'm not doing something correctly. Having thought about for a few seconds, its not really imprtant anyway. I dont like colours, LoL. Just having some fun playing with the site.

Oh! thecolour works.Well I'll be.But I think I'll stick to the traditionalBlack.

I agree, black is best. BUT if the mood takes you, you need to have the colour tags either side of the text. You can select the text then choose the colour. I have disabled the codes so you can see how it works.

[color=red]This will be red.[/color]

[color=red][/color]This will not!

Hi all,

I've been away from the Internet for a week, so my failure to log on and try out the new forum earlier was simply a logistical one.

Looks cool. I have yet to try out everything, and it will of course take some getting used to ... but I like it so far!

Cheers

Marcus

Not really responding to anyone's post - just wanted to test different typesizes - typesizes - typesizes - and figure out how one adds a link.

Mmm, not what I was intending. Isn't there some way one can show a website under its name, such as Rogueclassicsm, and have the link to the URL embedded? I'm pretty sure I've seen it done on similar forums.

Guess not.

Hmm, I've just tried two things that I thought should work, but they didn't.

Thomas will need to tell us that one, I think.

Rogue Classicism

The text above (when you float your mouse over the URL button) shows this:

http://]URL Text

So, this made me do:

You can read all about ALL the ways to use BBCode here

And don't ask how I managed to show BBCode in this post as well as making BBCode work for the link PLUS all the colours too. Too scary.

Thanks for the tutorial.

I was definitely trying to do the right thing ... but wasn't quite getting it right - what comes of never learning HTML properly, I suppose ...
