I wish people hadn't abused it.

I know there are other reasons than just the abuse factor.

Maybe we could have it for news posts, or for staff in the chapters, or as a reward for good members. Maybe just one or two extra colors?

It is not the fact that people abused, even though that is a big part in the issue. It was the fact that people who were looking for answers and information from a moderator or Achronos had troubles finding it. So with out the system available for everyone it is very easy for anyone to find something...and it is very organized.

Achronos doesn't. Therefore, no "Return of the colour". I did like ocasionally using the gold text though... :(

Most of all I miss it when I need to organize a long post.

I recently wrote a news post giving the details of a paintball event for our chapter and found it difficult to make the important information stand out in the post. Sure I used underline to highlight the when where and cost. I used bold for the deadline. But I think adding a color or two in there would have really brought the info I need them to know to their attention.

I think most of the list type posts (like the FAQ posts, or the chapter tournament post) could benefit from an extra color.

Why is there no way to set the colours of the posts in your own group? Like if you promote someone you give them a special colour for their posts.

Or is that just something easier said than done as usual?

There isn't now but that would be great to have in the future.

Too difficult and time consuming to distinguish the code for chapters forums and the main forums. Take the theme masters as another example. They appear to have that role in chapters they're in too. So, perhaps they will get it sorted out for chapters only, but i doubt any time soon.

So you could let your moderators do it.
Maybe even set which colors they could use... ¶

I agree with you. That was a nice feature.

Ok, Mods I have a serious question. How could someone abuse colors? Sorry, but unless you hate Rainbows I couldn't see why.

It was nice if you could see the color. I remember back in the early days of the new hotness I couldn't see any color other than default blue. But that was because of some issue with the Mozilla browser that Achronos managed to fix somehow. Can't really say I miss the colors though.

Alas, I never saw the colors. Although I hear you can still see them if you lick enough toads.

I don't think it will ever come back. Good reasons for this have already been posted, so I won't elaborate.

I do remember the colors from when before I joined, and they were a little eye straining sometimes, but maybe if we just have some nice, deep colored text (Not white or gold, moderator impersonation would be too annoying), then I think the color text markup tags would really be helpful for organising long posts or getting a point out.

Maybe, but since I never tried the color thing and since Frankie is cool.

No

Thats a good idea. group mods with custom colors. or you could make true mod colors off limits.

¶ I would adore group color's if we could use them. I would love my moderators or admins to be able to use a specified color. Help get things to stand out. BUT, possibly have it on|off capable? With each post. Because the mods and admins reply a lot in some groups, and wouldnt need it all the time.

Also, would it be possible to get the yellow symbol activated in groups? That could also help! ¶
