Suddenly, I can't use colours, bold, italics, underline, emoticons, etc. in my posts. I had thought this was confined to PMs, but it seems to be everywhere. I'm not even sure that I can receive colours, etc, in other's posts any more. Everything I read seems to be uniformly black, and in a standard, boring font.

(This soul-killing situation will slowly slay me.)

I upgraded Windows recently -- might that be the cause, do you think?


Wah wah wah, etc!

I can't post pics, either.

(Not even of Menudo!)

Of course you can't use colour. This forum software (in it's endless wisdom) has obviously outlawed misspelled words. Wink

On a more serious note:

Assuming Peter is using Internet Explorer 7 there is one way his predicament could be solved, using another internet browser, Firefox 2.0 has no problems with the colour or font system Wink

No, you Americanos spell it wrong -- ask any Englishman.

Far be it from me to hasten on the Four Horsemen, though!

Perhaps.

How would I know? (Seems to be latest version.)

In your post, BTW Tony, I don't see colour, but code thingies, but in everyone else's (very helpful) posts here I see colour.

& not even being able to post pics of Menudo is a real pain, let me tell you!
