Why can't we color a link like we used to before?
 
You still can, just use the color bb code editor and wrap it around url addy.
 
Nope. Both are in black. lol. Figures. I guess it's the same in all forums?

Alldeaf link in blue

Alldeaf link in red

Alldeaf link in Yellow

It's doable. The color code has to go inside the URL tags.

Oh, I got it. What I did is pasting url, preview post, click on letter "A" on top right corner to switch editor mode and then highlight text to insert color code.

I colored the links before without switching editor mode. Looks like it's updated a while ago, however it's not that bad, only one more click.

I practiced for 15 minutes and I couldn't do it. Paul, what do you mean "A" on top right corner? The A for font color one?

Now I know basic HTML and have used it for my eBay listings but I couldn't color the link.

No, not that one, another A in far right corner at the top. It looks like A/A. When hovering it, its tooltip appears and shows "Switch Editor Mode". That's the one. Up and down arrows are next to it in that corner.

I don't see that 'A' you speak of. There is nothing next to the up and down arrows. I think I know why. My HTML code options are off. I am not allowed to use it. That's what I see way bottom of the forum. It is not letting me use HTML.

Yeah.. sorry about that- My forum 'skin' is the dark one as it is easier on my eyes, most people use the default one which is white- so yellow is hard to read but is easier to see on the dark/black one :)

MangaReader--

if you do it by hand--

{URL=www.google.com}{COLOR="green"}Text here{/COLOR}{/URL}

replace the { } with [ ].

you can also put hexadecimal for colors


{URL=www.google.com}{COLOR=FF6EC7}Text here{/COLOR}{/URL}

Here is what CrazyPaul was talking about -

Yeah that picture from what Paul was talking about, I don't have that option. I figured I was missing it. Why is that do you know? Thanks DeafDucky, I will give it a try.

I just switched to Dark mode and WOW, what a difference!! I'm not sure which one I like best. The dark sure is very dark overall.

My HTML code is off, too but the A I was talking about is still there. Mine looks like;

BB code is On
Smilies are On
[/URL] code is [B]On[/B]
HTML code is [B]Off[/B]
[URL="http://www.alldeaf.com/misc.php?do=linkbacks#trackbacks"]Trackbacks[/URL] are [B]On[/B]
[URL="http://www.alldeaf.com/misc.php?do=linkbacks#pingbacks"]Pingbacks[/URL] are [B]On[/B]
[URL="http://www.alldeaf.com/misc.php?do=linkbacks#refbacks"]Refbacks[/URL] are [B]On


[/B]I use Firefox.

Screenshot of it; Can you see the[SIZE=1] A[/SIZE]/[SIZE=3][U][I][B]A[/B][/I][/U][/SIZE] at the right top corner?

MangaReader- you might have to check your settings and see what it says for editor- mine was originally "WYSIWYG" editor so I changed it to Standard so I could see the coding.

Maybe that will help too?

Paul - Nope, see my screenshot.

DeafDucky - My settings shows that I'm on Standard.

I appreciate both of you trying to help me. Really strange on my end.

Message Editor Interface

When posting messages to the forums or other members, there are three interface types available to you. The simplest of these is a simple text box, while the last is a fully-fledged WYSIWYG editor, which allows you to format your text as you want it and see the results immediately.

Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type. Message Editor Interface:

Mine shows "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing". Test all types to see if it works or not.
 
I finally found the problem.

First, I changed to Full WYSIWYG, nothing. Standard, nothing.

Dawned on me that it could be the browser. I am on Chrome. I went to IE and there it was!!!!!! Chrome does not let me see it! Wow.
