Is it just me, or do the text markup tags for colors never work? Why is this?

The color tags were removed long ago because people abused them by doing stuff like posting font in the same color as the background, etc. Plus, now that Bungie employees and moderators have their own font color, it could be abused even worse.

Thanks, but don't you think that they should delete that information from the text markup tag section though? Because new users, like me sorta, dont know this information.

Which Text Markup Tag section are you referring to, exactly? I'm assuming you mean the one when you reply? If so, it isn't listed there anyway.

I've seen people abusing italics, I hope that doesn't get taken away.

Well, I sure as hell hope the don't remove the bold, italics, unterline, and the other stuff, because I often use them for my group's forum. And how could you abuse the other stuff?

  • 08.13.2005 10:36 PM PDT

The color tags show up in a few other places, the chapter creation page, for example.

It's fairly safe to assume they won't be removing any other tags, unless the whole community starts typing everything in all caps, bold, italics and underline.

Like this

Anyways, the color tags needed to be removed. People thought it was fun to blind people with lime green text. Like Sir Frag's attempt with Terminal.

Ouch... :(


Anyhow, white might not have been the best colour to use for mods, since it's imitable through use of the URL tags. Perhaps a blue would be better?

Your right, we users should use pure white(it'sa "
Drone" color) while the mods use the blue we are using right now.

Hey upgrades! That would be sweet, maybe regular old Bungie.net members could get them too. I'm sure that you forum mods go around and see good people and you must be thinking "Wow, I wish that guy (pointing to Ranger7722) could get an upgrade so that he could do some cool stuff and contriubue a little bit more to the community!"

Hey when Ranger said that is says that you can still use colours, he ment that when your writing a post, (or reply) on the right-hand side of the screen there's a box titled 'Text Markup Tags'. I think he meant there on a certain page that the Bungie.Net people forgot to fix :). I don't see any problems as of yet, though... so EVERYBODY PARTY!

>_>

Surely any upgrade would be a reward and not a prompt; lots of members would promise to "do good things for the community" so they could get their own nice little upgrades, and then in fact, do nothing at all.

You are exacticly right, Psyched! You wouldn't belive the amount of 'low-lives' that are scowering the World Wide Web just looking for trouble, trying to make other forum members' lives unhappy and down. To be granted a gift should be a thing of esctravagant beauty; to be cherished, as you must be of a very high 'ranking' to have been givin such a privalige. All because you want to help the community, not take greedy control of it as those 'low-lives' do.

Yea, it would kinda be like becoming a mod, except not quite that hard.

Right...

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Zapper- was that post aimed at Psyched a very bad insult or a very bad bit of sarcasm? Make it easier to distinguish. And is it so hard for one to believe that there really are those with good hearts?

Um, I don't know what you mean. I was emphasising what psyched said. I'm not being sarcastic or making an insult. Am I? I'm only 12, I didn't know.
