<font color=blue> Ok, after all this time, I have got the whole ubb deal down. But now I want to do some colors. </font> You know, cheer up a post, or show my complete and udder anger at some fellow loud mouth with brite red, you know, the fun stuff. j/k :D :D
I tried some HTML codes I found on some site, but the directions were real vague, and therefore did'nt work for me. ;)
Is there a comprehensive easy to understand and read list of the basic codes for a dummy like me? ;)
Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

Colors eh? <font color=orange>Like this?</font>
<font color=gold>Or this?</font>

Pretty easy...

put this in: (font color=nameofcolor) insert text here (/font)

just replace the ( with < and ) with > [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just ask if you don't get it

<font color=green> Sweet! :D Thank you kind Sir Goulum! I shall have to see about making you a <font color=red>Lord</font> !!! </font> [img]graemlins/knightsmile.gif[/img]

Try here first of all. I think it's basic enough that you'd understand what's being said. For a wider range of colors, you'll need either the HEX or RGB combinations. The HEX codes go in the same place Sir G mentioned, the RGB codes are for software programs that use RGB coding.

This site lists all the HEX and RGB codes for nearly all the colors on the spectrum. Enjoi!

Some shade of brown is my guess [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color=steelblue> I like this one! Thanks alot guys! :D </font>

LOL, you just forgot the </font > tag [img]smile.gif[/img]

Haha! I got it!

Now how do you do the font size?

<font color="aqua" size="4">Use the quote function to see how I changed the font size. It will be easier than explaining it.</font> ;)

Like this?

<font color="red" size="5"> I'm a genius!</font>

<font color=Firebrick>Wow, that's pretty cool [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I'll have to use this more often :D </font>

Let me see if I can get the font size down too...

<font color="firebrick" size="20">I am God</font> Hehe :D

<span style="color: lightblue;">Ok, my Standards speach...

Marquee tags are depricated. Better not to use them; if you want scrolly text, go for an animated gif.

Font tags are depricated, there is another way to change the textcolour that is supported by more browsers. That is:
<span style="color: white;">&lt;span style="color: <span style="color: red;">colorname;">

As far as forums are concerned, it`s probably better to leave your formatting at different colours, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">bold or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">underline for emphasis. I can teach you how to change the size of the text properly, but I won`t.

<span style="font-weight: bolder;">Important: choose colours that are readable on your background. For example, do not use dark brown/blue, red, or black here... it can be very annoying to try to read.

<font color=steelblue>What in laymans terms are you saying?</font> [img]graemlins/confused5.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]<span style="color: lightblue">Basically, there is a better way to do things ;)
Depricated = won`t be in later versions of HTML, you should get used to not using them, so that when they aren`t useful anymore, it won`t affect you. ;)
And choose colours that we can read !! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color=steelblue>Got it, thank you. :D </font>

another trick to that is to use hexadecimal representation of colors, lie E33FFG for <font color="E33FFG"> semi-kinda'-light violet </font> [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So... you're trying to say that putting "color=semi-kinda'-light violet" in the font-tag-tiggy-thang-thingy won't work? :confused:

<font color=steelblue>I know what you mean man, these guys are confusing.</font> :D

ROTFL! That's hysterical, Masklinn! *giggle* I love the colors, too!

<font size=1>i like the font size thing becuase you can use really tiny text and no-one can hear you so you can get away with anything *spam*</font>
[img]smile.gif[/img]

That's right, right indeed. No one can hear you when you use tiny text... just as with any other text [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=steelblue>Not sure that would work. HHMMM...I'll let you give it a try first. :D </font>

<font color="dodgerblue">Dodgerblue</font>
<font color="steelblue">Steelblue</font>

<font color="lightsteelblue">And The Lighter Lightsteelblue</font>
Which Looks Like
<font color="grey">Grey</font>

Which because of silly spelling ( ;) ) is actually

<font color="Gray">Gray with an 'A'</font>

Which looks to me quite like a...

<font color="brown">Brown</font>

But because its a stupid brown, That looks

<font color="Red">Red To ME!!!</font>

Who could ever tell eh? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

(Looking back that Grey didnt look very brown at all did it?)

Well my point is all the colors suck [img]tongue.gif[/img]
