Its amazing what you can learn, when you actually look at the user control page. Now, if someone would give me a lesson on how to type in black, I'd feel completely up to speed.

This is one of my frustrations. However....I'm feeling happy that I have food now.

There is an icon above the window you reply in that has an "A" with a black line under it and a small arrow to the right of, directly between the "Sizes" and the smiley face options. Click this to choose colors.

For a simpler method... Put [ ] Around this: COLOR="Black" and before your text, and then put this: [/color] after the text. Substituting the "Black" for another color if you wish. (I forgot you can't see the code if you type it all up properly, stupid me...)

Put black text here...

[/noparse]

Dammit, that noparse line is what I needed! And the spoiler code doesn't show as black, it shows as the same color as the background, and the means it's brown.

[noparse]Insert text here![/noparse]

Much easier to read!

Spoiler

Wow, so proper and mature about it too...normally it would be something nonsensical or lewd as a test post. :laugh:

I think that's what Shana was looking for anyway...

Always glad to point out the noparse function.

All right! I think I have it. Thank you all for the help.

Maybe, but she said black text. I learned something too today. Yay for that.

You're welcome Shana.

*nods* I know, one of these days I'll need to teach you how to pick up women in exchange. Although, my methods are custom fitted to my own strange personality. It has been vastly amusing to watch my friends attempt them and fail miserably. :laugh:

Nobody here finds it strange that Shana is requesting for lurking tools?

shana · Post by **shana** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 5:59 pm

Magrus, I thought you just posted that you don't pick up women, you wait for them to come to you.

shana · Post by **shana** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 6:00 pm

Lestat--don't blow it for me!

[QUOTE=shana]Lestat--don't blow it for me![/QUOTE]Now Milady, this is a very dangerous phrase to leave lying around like that... tsssk...

Who do you mean by "it" BTW?

[QUOTE=shana]Magrus, I thought you just posted that you don't pick up women, you wait for them to come to you.[/QUOTE]

Most of the time yes. There have been occasions where I got bored and I was single though. Boredom and I tend to get into trouble together. *nods* I'm still trying to figure out why that girl decided to go out with me after I jumped on top of a fountain at the mall and started screaming for all the freaky ladies to come closer. Amusing, but oh so confusing that it actually worked!

@ Lestat, What do I care? I made myself invisible, aside from the fact my username is on the latest post option nearly as often as Rav's is when I'm around. She should be able to seek help to figure out her way around here.

Erm, yeah, that's a bad phrase to leave laying around. Luckily I'm sober and lazy today. Just watch out for the other perverts who aren't.

Nice. I'll look forward to that...

Would you rather have her say "Dont blow for me"

I appreciate the warning.
