This is just a short one, guys.

Recently, I've seen a rise in the number of people using various colors for their fonts. I don't have a problem with this, as long as you follow two rules:

1) Don't use font colors that are low-contrast to the background of the forum. Sorry, but brown on brown just won't cut it, and I hate having to click and drag over nearly unreadable text to highlight it just so I can read it. I'm sure others feel the same way.

2) Since you must use HTML tags to make your text change color, remember to close your tags! Not doing so messes up the forum tags for the rest of the thread, and can potentially corrupt a thread. It also makes it very difficult for those of us who are quoting a thread and then our text turns your color because you forgot to close the tag. Just remember to follow your colored text with a < /font > tag (spaces removed).

Thanks,
