Text Color ???

AnikaBrodie — Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:37:39 GMT

I've been trying to select color when posting a reply. I click on the "A" but get nothing. I doubt that I would use it very often but I'd at least like to know how it's done. Any ideas?

You have to click on the arrow to the right of the A.

There's an arrow next to the A - you click on that and pick out a color. That's what I just did.

I keep clicking A as well and get nothing.

But the board has been a little glitchy, with my posts displaying html and flashing back to original text and then posting it....

Also takes a couple of clicks to get the bold to work.

*sigh*

AnikaBrodie,

There is a down arrow right next to the A. Click the down arrow & a chart of various colors should appear. Then you click on whatever color you would like the font to be and you should be in business.

If you click directly on the A, you won't get the chart.

Hope that helps.

NickNack1 ... Thank you. Now why didn't I think of that. Let me try it. Well, look at this, it works. Thank you so much.

Glad you figured it out (well, ok - sort of. heh). Some of the colors I've seen used on the board this week are seriously headache-inducing. I hope they pare it down somehow and get rid of the neon colors. There is one purplish-pink color that makes my eyeballs bleed.

I don't care about text color.

This gray color is hard on take after a while. It gives me a headache.

CB, you make me laugh every time you say that! Too bad I don't have a really good Laughing Emotie! Is this it? This is the one that gets me!!

Forget trying to do anything on an ipad. I'm on mine now and I can't even quote the post I'm agreeing with.

Color works on the IMac but not on my ipad.

I don't really like the colored text anyway

I don't see any of what you guys are talking about. Maybe because I'm on an iPad? No arrow or anything to change text color.

ETA: Ok, I see this has been answered.
