html colour codes.

[Win2Kuser]

Hi y'all.

As some of you may know, I do the daily stats for the XPC FaD team. I would like a way of inserting html codes into a code statement.

I can use html colour code such as [color = f778a1]Test[/color ]

Is there a way to change the background colour so that it overides the default style set.

I use the [CODE ] statement so that it keeps everything neat.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

That sounds like a tough one, Win2K, since there are a couple of different styles to choose from. If you changed the background colour in a thread, would that change the colour for the whole thread, or for the user until they reset / reloaded? Would it change the user default? Does any of this make sense?

Unfortunately, those commands don't work :(

i cant think of anything either.

Oh well, just 4 colour stats it is then. I can't seem to find any other colours that look ok in both style sets.

Just stick to the Green, Red, Blue and Gold.
oh, and Purple :)

Shame really, I had some good ideas that would 'jazz' it up and make it perhaps more appealing to wandering eyes :)

Even more so than it already is :p :)

No you can't, to do this it would mean html coding would have to be activated, and this isn't safe as it would mean people could put in code that you wouldn't want here.

But maybe, but maybe, but i very much doubt it, you could ask Mntsnow to put you in a new usergroup which would be allowed to use html, but you really should PM him about it.

I don't think the problem is html. The problem is vb. The code we use in these forums is vbcode. Ask Win2k. He'll tell ya.

To change the background you need to have html code enabled, and it isn't.

And vB isn't the problem, but it just been set like this, and that's because it can be abused pretty bad.

[davidw]

Actually, you can change the background color by vb code.

The code for background color (in what Win2k wants to do) is in vb, not html. He's not trying to change the background color of the web page, but the text that he's writing.

[b], [i], [u] Bold / Italic / Underline
[color] Color
[size] Size
[font] Font
[highlight] Highlight
[left], [right], [center] Left / Right / Center
[indent] Indent
[url] URL Hyperlinking
[thread] Thread Linking
[post] Post Linking
[list] Bulleted Lists / Advanced Lists
[img] Images
[code] Code
[php] PHP Code
[quote] Quote
[background] Background
[blink] Blink
[center] Center
[glow] Glow
[overline] Overline
[strikethrough] Strikethrough

vB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with. They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing. The ability to use vB Code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.
