Ok, I know I'm a Seeker,

but how do I make colored text?

 

All that happens is that I pick a color, and this is what shows up:

 

 

What do I do after that? Thanks for any help.

That color code you posted is only the first part. That's the opening tag. You have to add another at the end of the text you want to be colored.

 

Any time you alter text, whether it's bold, italics, underline, size, color, etc., each of those options needs an opening and closing tag.

 

The above would look like this when you're typing it out:

 

Any time you alter text, whether it's [B]bold[/B], [I]italics[/I], [U]underline[/U], [SIZE=14]size[/SIZE], [COLOR=blue]color[/COLOR], etc., each of those options needs an opening and closing tag. 

 

Hit the color button, then type the text you want colored, then when you want to stop the color, hit the Close All Tags button, and that will add the closing tag at the end of your text.

 

The Close All Tags button works with all the codes, but you only need to use that particular button with the options that are in those dropdown menus (Font, Size, Color). For Bold, Italics, and the others that have their own button, simply hit that button at the start of your text, then hit it again at the end for the closing tag.

Before I typed out that explanation I looked in the FAQs but didn't see a section about post codes. Did I miss it? Where is it?

I thought the same thing when I saw this question: "This has GOTTA be an FAQ!" But it wasn't. We'll have to add that.
