How do you make different colors at Hive?

[TheSandWraith]

I've seen a lot of people here at the hive with either giant letters, or different color letters, and I was just wondering....How do you do that? I know this is probably a noob question, but I don't know. So if anyone could give me a hand, I would appreciate it. Thanks

To create colors and other text effects, use the site's vBulletin message editor.

1. First, access your UserCP > Edit Options > Miscellaneous Options
   
   
   • Be sure your option is set to: Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls
   
   
2. Use the tools availabe in the editor panel:
   
   • 
     Bold text
     
     
   • 
     Colored text
     
     
   • 
     Underlined text
     
     
   • A pull-down menu is available for text sizes.
   
   
3. Use the other tools to insert images, hyperlinks or other vBulletin tags.

There is a rule here at the hive though, you aren't allowed to write your text fully colored, as it can be a hassle to read. Exception being Shados because he is "special (in the head)" and refuses to post normally.

The rule was actually removed at some point. Wolverabid did it, I think.

The single colour rule only applies to colours that are hard to read against THW's background.

Green! Blue! Yay!

I like blue and green, but for some reason it doesnt look right coloring all my posts that way..

Actually it was Ralle himself:

The color rule is no more.

That is because you are a commie, and like all other commies, you must die.

That's not very helpful, friendly or on-topic. I suggest that you edit if before someone reports it.

[rainbow]Speaking of colors, Ralle implemented a new vBulletin tag: the rainbow![/rainbow]

Just use [rainbow]When moused-over, the text will come to life in rainbow colors![/rainbow]

[RAINBOW]Ah. I'd the rainbow tag earlier after hearing about it in the chat room. I thought it would just make the text rainbow coloured.[/RAINBOW]

 

[donut3.5]

I saw those in links earlier! I thought I was secretly on drugs the first time I saw them.

[Wolverabid]

No you weren't on drugs donut: the effect is real. The rainbow.js file that produces the rainbow effect is one I've long used on my own site.

It's free and is available at: Dynamic Drive > Links & Tooltips > Rainbow Links script

It was easy for me to implement the script on the chat room information page.

[rainbow]It took the Hive's Chieftain almost no time to adapt the script to work in the vBulletin forum environment and apply it to text instead of hyperlinks: enjoy![/rainbow]

 

[Shadow_Fox]

[rainbow]weeee, this is pretty awsome[/rainbow]

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

[rainbow] Now this would be a pretty insane thing to wrap every single post in [/rainbow]

[rainbow] Rainbow! [/rainbow]

(+rep ralle, keep up the good work!)

 

[HappyTauren]

[rainbow]RAINBOW ABUSE!!!![/rainbow]

you are sure this is not going to happen?

 

[Teh_Ephy]

I do believe Shados mentioned that [RAINBOW][rainbow][/rainbow] might be abused.
