How to change colour of type in signature

[rumples riot]

Hi Mike, how do you change the colour of the type in the signature box and title boxes? just wondering as I want to add some colour to my stuff if possible.

<font color="#FF0000">Red&lt ;/font&gt
<font color="#00FF00">Green& lt;/font&gt
<font color="#0000FF">Blue&l t;/font&gt

will give you:

<font color="#FF0000">Red</font>
<font color="#00FF00">Green</font>
<font color="#0000FF">Blue</font>

The colour code is a 6 digit hexadecimal number (i.e., each digit runs from 0 thru 9 thru A to F), 2 digits for red, 2 for green and 2 for blue.

You can also use common colours, instead of the hex code.

< font color="red">Red< /font>

<font color="red">Red</font>

I'm not sure you can have html tags in the user title above your avatar though.

2nd easiest way is to click "post reply" at the bottom of any thread and use the vB code to compose your sig then cut and paste into your profile.
Easiest way is to use firefox with the BBcode extension.

Sorry I have no idea, where to put the code. I never learnt Html of any other code. I know some basic code, but nothing else. I really need to do a web design course and learn all this stuff. I can reformat a hard drive, install programs and have even set up a network at home, but as for code I am I admit lost.

[iceman (Mike)]

Tell us what you want to be colour (and which colour), and i'll write the bbcode for you.

Just paste this in your signature box..

Just replace the { and } with [ and ]

Just use Ascii characters

PS the numbers are easy to use than the names
