How are you making those sentences red. I think that is a good way to make what other people have said when you are quoting them?


put this code in the front of your quote and the end at the rear, and put a < on each end >

once you get it right make a hot key for the format and it is easy, I use texpander so I put the code in or else I use a fkey


FONT color="#FF0000"
Red

FONT color="#0000FF"
blue

/font
end

Ok I know how to do that with HTML. I looked at the code of a page where you had made the text colored and saw the code but I thought perhaps there was some other formatting code you could be using that was being converted to HTML.

i just use html, but I have it so it is easy, just 2 keys make it different colors I learned it because they all used different colors on HS since ms had a tool pallette for pc,s and i wanted to do it on my mac!

If you are using one key only to make one color you have to open and close the tag. How are you dealing with that?

ie.

moo

<font color=#0000FF>moo</font>

I have tried several times in the past, I walways get this error message.

Warning - Can not post this message. HTML: Unmatched or badly nested tags

You have to open the tag and then close the tag.

So to open the tag you use the <font color="0000FF"> and to close the tag you use </font>

Then what ever text you put between the open and close tag has the what the opening tag does applied to it.




& lt;
& gt;

Fred
If you want to show the < and > charactors and not have them applied to HTML you just use the following 4 charactors with no spaces

< = & lt; (with no space between the & and the l)
> = & gt; (with no space between the & and the g)

You have to open the tag and then close the tag.

How exciting is that???


Thank You Qwerty


I was putting the long code in front and in back of the text.

Hey it would be nice if we could use the <strike>moo</strike> tag but it converts the < and > to ANSI & lt; and & gt; .

< = & lt; (with no space between the & and the l)
> = & gt; (with no space between the & and the g)

<FONT color="#0000FF"> howdy in red </font>

Hey thanks qwerty, that is how it looks before I push send, this forum though reduces the & gt; to < if you preview it

hahaha I figured out how to do it.

strike through

hahaha I figured out how to do it.

strike through

The <strike>strike though</strike> tag doesn't work as the forum software converts the < and > of the strike tag to & lt; and & gt; (minus the space). So you have to use CSS code and then apply it using the style tag inside a tag that the forum will accept. The forum will accept the <font>moo</font> tag so I put it in that.

<font style="text-decoration:line-through;">strike through</font>

Now when I have to change my posts after some one has quoted a mistake I can just cross out the old words with the text-decoration:line-through; and make the correction.

Fred why don't you get your own domain $9 and hosting for a year $50 and put up phpbb and that way you own the content. I run a phpbb forum so I know how the software works pretty good. Just a thought.

qwerty, this forum cost 200 a year and I don't have to think about it! If I have my own domain, instead of playing with colors, i have to keep the server going, it isn't worth it.

That is what I mean about college education, I can be real dumb, and hire college educated people to do my work for just a few bucks!

If you want to fix the following spacing problem: God and the Father Gladwin
<font style="text-decoration:line-through;">God and the Father </font>Gladwin


Just put the space out side the tags and it will look like this:
God and the Father Gladwin
<font style="text-decoration:line-through;">God and the Father</font> Gladwin

Also you don't need to use the & lt; only the & gt; (remove the space between the & and the g or l). The > don't need to be convertedwith the & gt; .

Squirty, you're amazing. How do you do it, day in and day out, every day.

Lol,Kevin,one word says it all: boring.

yea I knew that I'm just to lazy to make it perfect

Fred
"i have to keep the server going, it isn't worth it."

Once it is up and running there is no not much maintenance. You don't need your own server you get a shared hosting account.

One thing with this software is after 50 pages they drop off. Any way this a thought.

Squirty,have you ever thought of running your mouth for a living?

So you can post images here also.

And qwerty looked down from the mountain top and said "I will make all this yours if you will but fall down and worship me" ?

Well this seems to be making everyone happy, i am a member of a precious metals forum that is php based,

I might change it someday, but not till we have a bigger attendance, and a couple of techie gurus as moderators.

I had my son help me with this one and dont care to take the time for the new forum learning curve.

Actually Pastor Paul offered to use the Calvary chapel server to host a php for us, but this forum is a little unconventional, and I like to make it so I am the bad guy so if a church hosts it, it becomes another set of issues that increase "rules" to please everyone.

As in ratchet jaw?

$50 a year for a shared hosting account so you don't need any one to host sites for free for you. I have so many hosting accounts it hard to keep track of them all.

I think we need to bring qwerty up as a concern. We detect a 'computer spurit'.
