 Topic: Unable to use colour, etc!
Posted: December 30 2006 at 14:43 |
|
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. 
On a more serious note:
Revelation: a Rideout without color or emphasis to embolded his mockery is no doubt a sign of the End of Times. Repent!!!! Repent!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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! (sob)
