I've seen some people using different colour text fonts. Just wondering, how do you change your font to different colours and what are the different ones?

<font color="lightblue">&lt;font color="<font color="red">colorname</font>">text here&lt;/font>

Click for a list of colornames. You can use either the name or the code for <font color="red">colorname</font> [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think that this is the thread that Mack_Attack was referring to.

So is it basically HTML?

<h1>[b]<font color="red">Is it?</font>[b]</h1>
<hr=75% width=10>

Okay, it appears that it is.

<font color="lightblue">No need to bold Headings- they`re automatically bold, Times New Roman, as well as the size. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And you didn`t end the &lt;b> tag properly. ;) </font>

You people are on the ball.

Excellent. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I know, it's been years since I used HTML. I tried to get the horizontal rule tag right, but obviously I didn't since the thing didnt appear. Do links work too?

<a href="www.space.coldfirestudios.com>SPACE (don't try it, the Space server is down)</a>

No, it seems they don't. Oh well... I probably got the tag wrong... Is this it?
$a href="www.space.coldfirestudios.com$SPACE (don't try it, the Space server is down)$/a$

I put $s instead of the < and >.

Well, I don't know WTH it is doing now, so I will give up. I suppose I can look at the source code for some of the websites I made years ago... Hopefully, HTML is like riding a bike.

<font color="lightblue">That`s right, except you should put target="_blank" to force it into a new window.
The reason it didn`t work properly was because you forgot the second quotes (after the URL).
For a horizontal rule, try:
&lt;table width=100% height="5" border=1 bordercolor="<font color="red">rulecolor</font>" bgcolor="<font color="red">rulecolor</font>">&lt;tr>&lt;td>&amp;nbsp;&lt/td>&lt;/tr>&lt;/table>

The border color and background color should be the same for the rule to be one solid color. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Testing steelblue rule:
<table width=100% height="5" border=1 bgcolor="steelblue" bordercolor="steelblue"><tr><td></td></tr></table>

Ok, it`s ignoring the height attribute. Wierd. http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/lennon/eek5.gif </font>
