with all these changes, how about it?

[unrulyjulie]

i remember the "good old days" when we had colours/ bold and italics etc...! I don't see why this can't be brought back.

Unnecessary some might say but i thought it brightened AB up. Any chance Ed???

[netibiza]

It's AB who have beggared it up. Looking back on old thread, none is in color now. More fun taken away sob!

AB was Cillit Banged to remove the colourful HTML style tags following last Christmas's chroma-rampage by some ABusers (no names Neti).

Hi Netti, Kempie. I discovered a couple of months ago that that trick doesn't work any more. Although it shows as intended in preview mode, it just shows as an underscored red link in the post itself (but of course it doesnt link to anywhere) though the cursor remains as the text cursor.

Well you could have told me gen instead of letting me make a wally of myself trying to be clever!!!!!

They got rid of the colour stuff because of the wider adoption of Firefox and the fact the ActiveX control they were using didn't work in IE7... I'm surprised they haven't added a cross browser solution for this yet, it's not that hard. And if they asked nicely, I could show them how ;o).
