RE: Help with font size and other stuff

[Sltrawick]

 
Okay, how the heck do you change the color and the font size.  Whenever I click on the color I want and the font size & type my note...it doesn t post that way.
 What am I doing wrong?

[font=" " ][/font]when you see this you need to put the font style (Courier or any other style) then type your message between the ][ so it looks like this.[font=" " ]your message here[/font]. You do this for the color and font size too.  Make sure you select the number of the font size you want.

This is how it looks
 
 There are two way s to do it []  
 
 Seriously,  you can either pick how you want what you re typing to look first then type your message or type your message and then pick how you want things to look.  
 
 So either way, you have put text in between two set s of commands.  In this example I typed the message, highlighted it by clicking on it then clicked on the grey button on the screen showing the comand I wanted to use.
 
 Below is how the above message looks like in your messge box except there would be no astriks *; there are opening an closing comands, those comands are kept in square brakets []; the text you want to change goes in between the opening and closing brakets; the closing commands has to have the / slash to close that command.
 
 Click the preview button to see how things really look.  Hope this helps without confusing you.

 [*color=#magenta]trying it out[*/close]
 

 you have to take the * out.  I only put those in to show you how the coding looked. Also, the closing brakets have to say the same thing as the opening brakets, the / stroke is the closing comand. So your sample would read:
 
 [color=#magenta]trying it out[/color]
 
 but would look like this without the astriks [*color=#magenta]trying it out[*/color]
 
 Try it one more time.[]

[font=" Papyrus" ]Remove the little * *s those don t belong there, and replace close with color, maybe that will help. In your Replies when you click on color a color chart should pop uo to click on the color of your choice. Thr color will show as a #99547 or whatever[/font]
