iPod? Or iPad? If it's the iPad, use the colored text tool looking right at you in the Quick Reply box. If it's the iPod, you may just have to type in:

[color="whatevercoloryouwant"][/color]

...tags around your text manually.

Aaand... this is not a question about GT5. Moving it to the appropriate section.

That's because you're twice telling it you want red text, but not telling it you want to stop. It doesn't know when the formatting ends so it doesn't apply it.

[color=papaya] says "I want my font in a lovely orange colour".
[/color] says "Whatever colour I wanted, stop it now, 'kay?".

Both are needed.
 
Um, on advanced mode you can use the drop-down for the colour I thought.

(yes on an ipod)
 
You literally just need to type [color=red] then your text then [/color] after it to get that portion of the text in red.

Post what you're doing when it doesn't work and we can see what the issue is.
 
Quote this message and you'll see how it works. ;)
 
A comprehensive set of instructions and examples is also available here.
 
Try it like this:


[color=red]

Your text

[/color]


Every tag "[tag]" requires a closing tag "[/tag]" (notice the "/" mark) so your computer will know when to start and stop formatting. The same goes for links, for indents, for bullet points, and quotes. Otherwise, it will either never start nor stop formatting your text, and the following command by the forum software (after this post, go add the signature, then add the quote button, then add the Quick Reply text box, et cetera) will just "move on", and take on the next command.

Note: Don't quote this, it will make even less sense. Just copy what you see in the indented area.

How many colors are there because there seem to be alot more the that little dropdown
box shows like the one you (Famine) use and showed above "papaya" .
 
Every colour using the RGB system is available: instead of giving a colour name, simply type # followed by the six-character alphanumeric hex code 👍
 
Like what everyone else said, try this:
See?
[ color=red] whateveryouwant[/color]
Just remove that space I put and you'll be fine.
 
In addition to specific HEX values, you can also specify any color by name in the HTML specification. You can see a list of these colors and their names here.

The colors listed in the forum editor toolbar is not comprehensive.
 
OR look up a colour you want, find its 6-digit value, and instead of using [ color="red" ], you can use [ color=#ff0000 ]..... or [ color=#f00 ]for short.

That's what SlipZtrEm just said:

That link helped me out loads! Thanks! 👍

Is there any chance of setting a "Default" font/colour?

It's pretty difficult to edit the font types, colours, and such from the mobile site (yes, I visit the actual site on my mobile, I don't want the app...) So, I'm curious if it's possible to set a default, so that it automatically gives me all of the appropriate tags.


Long list of tags I'd need:

  • Garamond font
  • Midnight Blue colour
  • Bold
  • Italics

It's possible to insert these tags, but also slightly frustrating.


In other news, I've decided to use this font, to become more stylized.
 
No, you have to cut and paste your desired block(s) of text for every post. It's not part of the forum software.
 
That's, fortunately, unreadable on a laptop screen.
 
No, no. Please keep it.

I like it. It matches my helmet. And, to be frank, Azuremen complains about fonts a lot, it's nothing new.

At least it's not Indigo, confusing everyone who assumes Famine's arrived on the scene. :D
