Hi all

Anyone interested in seeing more &/or different colour texts in the chat room should pop here:

http://html-color-codes.com/

And select the colour they fancy from the chart there... Pop the code on the list in this thread.

If each person posting on this thread could copy the codes already asked for by others and then add their choice to the end of the list, it'd be a help.

It will keep it all in one list, so Matt can just get the information from the last post on here, rather than trawling through all the posts.

I've started the ball rolling in the next post with an example... thought it'd be useful to say what the colour is as well, to avoid too much in the way of repetition of colours?

If you figure out how to use the HTML view in the forum box, and set the HEX values correctly, you can use the PREVIEW button to see how it would look in the chat. Like this Colour Code Maroon 330000 White ffffff Orange ff6633

Just type some text and then use the standard buttons for setting the text colour AND the background. Look, type some text the use the button to set it's colour. Then use the button to set it's background. From here it gets difficult. Use the button to switch to HTML mode. Here you can edit all the hex values if you know what you're doing. Then either use the button again to switch back to NORMAL mode (Where you'll see what it looks like) OR use the button to PREVIEW your efforts. Please don't be posting loads of failed attempts to this topic or it'll just be full of junk. Only post a message when you've succeeded in doing this correctly. Remember, you can find the HEX code for the background (purple) on the 1st page. If you can't figure it out - please stop trying lol. I don't want you messing anything up.
