Dear ED can we have Colour writing back ?

[Mr k]

Ed i wasn't here when we could write in colours can we have it back for Christmas Please to brighten the place up..

[B00]

How 'bout glittery writing? All festive like? That'd be snazzy!

[jno]

little sprigs of holly and such, maybe even some mistletoe <prepares list of ABers to get under mistletoe with>

[VillageVicar]

<marquee behavior="alternate" bgcolor="993366" width="400">I agree!</marquee>

[B00]

That worked a treat V V.....lol

[China Doll]

Second the mistleto idea!!

(Ahem, and since today you're male jno you had better make sure I'm on that list!)

[jno]

bad luck, Vicar, you can't do that sort of thing until they've switched the Christmas lights in Regent Street on.

[B00]

jno, if you are male and CD's on that list, can you let her know? A gal needs to prepare ya know- she's to shave her 'tash for a start.

[ELVIS68]

I got banned for colourful writing last week

[B00]

now now Elvis, your version of 'colourful writing' is vastly different from everyone elses ;-)

[Mr k]

Elvis is in the building
Ha ha I did read a post about it .....

[China Doll]

What's that about great minds and fools Boobies?! Poor jno will be hiding behind the their list now!

Hi Mr k, this sounds nice, but someone would have to tell me how you do this, as i have to be the thickest A.B.er on here, i don't even no how to post a link, love megan. xxx

[jno]

megan, highlight the link (so it turns blue) by clicking on it or dragging your arrow along it

hit control and c

put your arrow in the box where you type your post

hit control and v.

But producing coloured type is no longer possible. And life used to be so multicoloured!

jno??? I'm confoosed... the link is apparently by me dated today about an AB Virus??? lol and the answers are from last year 06-06.....
It's magic I say. Magic.
;D xxx

[jno]

oh yes, beryllium, there's a sort of blank post (no date) from me when I look at it, but a 2006 thread below. Some weird quirk in the system, I suppose. One of AB's many trade secrets.

[beryllium]

Tis very odd this place.... clever techies :D xxx

[megan07]

Jno, thank you sweetheart i am grateful for your advice, i just get so embarrassed, i do understand that there is a lot what can be done on a computer, but honest i am useless.
I am nerves about trying technics out on line, incase someone points it out.
I said just the other day, give me hands on nursing, and i do a fantastic job, give me a computer, and it's HELP lol, once again, thank you jno, take care love megan. xxxxxxxx

[bigmamma]

Write in colours , that sounds like fun mrk :-) xxx

[jno]

you're welcome, megan... incidentally, the control c/control v business can be replaced by copy/paste which is probably listed under Edit at the top of your screen. And it works in emails, or writing documents in Word etc, not just on AB. It's a means of copying anything you find on your computer (not just links) to somewhere else, saving a lot of copy-typing.

[kempie]

jno - you linked to the preview version of the thread instead of the 'proper' version. The preview version normally appears during a session where you have text pending for submission, and that text would be displayed, however if you view the 'preview' after the session has ended you are left with a blank box.

Here is the 'proper' link...
