308119 2004-12-28 02:25:00 On this forum I am on standard settings. Need to know how to make something bold plus in colour at same time.
I was able to make it coloured OK, but not bold as well. Is there a "Help" section that tells you how to use the different parts of this forum?

Thinking of printing out a page of the manual bits you add before and after so that I don't have to rely on the system doing it. Or can you do it using keyboard shortcuts? Cheers :confused:

bold and [COLOR=DarkOrchid]coloured

308122 2004-12-28 04:31:00 Learn the code tags to insert them yourself, eg

To insert [B]bold text use these tags at the beginning and end of the text. [/ B]

To insert coloured text use these tags.[/ COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange ]To insert [B][COLOR=DarkOrange]bold coloured text use these tags at the beginning and end of the text.[/ COLOR][/ B]

Note the order of the starting and closing tags - if you start with [B] you need to end with [/ B].

Note also that I have added a space in the tags so that the text could be displayed without it changing. Do not put in spaces when using the tags yourself.
