When posting/replying, you will see a drop-down box marked "COLOR". This adds code like: Code: `[COLOR=purple]` to the post - immediately in front of the text you want in that colour. It should also have a corresponding: Code: `[/COLOR]` command at the end of the coloured text. Now, there are seven colours listed, but that's all. In fact, you can have any available colour you want! You would still need to enter the COLOR command, but you can replace the name of the colour with a special code, e.g. #A52A2A would give this colour text Using the code: Code: `[COLOR=#A52A2A] before the text and [/COLOR] after it` Many colours can be found at http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp but there are several web sites that also list colours. Not all work well, of course, and some codes produce some pretty nasty effects, so do Preview your post first Some useful colours are: Code: `[COLOR=#C0A868]Gold Text[/COLOR] [COLOR=#A58A52]Dark Gold Text[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]Silver Text[/COLOR] [COLOR=#CD7300]Copper Text[/COLOR]` Have fun Steve

COLOR=#C0A868]Gold Text[/COLOR]**************************** COLOR=#A58A52]****[/COLOR]` The above would only work, Jo, with the closing command : [ /COLOR] (no space) for each of the [color=??????] commands You've also missed some opening ['s Steve
