how to change the size and color of the font when posting a message?

I'm sure it is quite easy, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. So rather than keep trying by "trial and error," I thought that I would just risk showing my ignorance and ask for help.

I see the buttons above--"font," "size," "color,"--but I must not be using them correctly.

Also, is there a "help" section on this forum?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Okay, so in the meantime, I'll just have to use boldface, italics, and underlining for emphasis.

 

sue you need a slash like this / after the [ in the second string to close it out.
[arg=something] my stuff[/arg=something]

never mind you got it.

 

Thanks, boltonblue.

Well, I have figured out how to do boldface, and italics, and underlining, but I still don't get how to change the size and color of the font.

I'm trying it with the slash like you mentioned, but I'm still not getting it with the size and color of the font.

Help!

Is there a "help" section on the forum that explains such things?

Thanks.

See below for how I am doing it, but it is not working for me.

[SIZE=7] Thanks [/SIZE=7]

[COLOR=red] Thanks [/COLOR=red]

Things that I would like to learn:

• How to change the font size.
• How to change the font color.

Okay, now I know how to do a list, too.

Okay, I think I have figured it out!

Still haven't mastered it, but I'm getting there.

 

Sue, you have the start right but at the at the end you just have the slash and the thing but drop the =red or =7 like [/size] and [/color].

Like for color and size I'll start with and but at the end it's just and. Let's see if this works. If you can't see what I've done quote my post and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Like for color and size I'll start with [SIZE=15] and [COLOR=red]

 

Sue, before I got Vista, it was much easier. Now my computer makes me do more work to get it right. I think S2ki is set up for Windows.

 

Sue all that you need to do is hit the color tag above the reply box it is all the way to the top right just remember to hit the close all tags button when you want to go back to black

 

Wow, zzziippyyy, I think your way is the easiest way of all!

Thanks a lot!

Now, lets hope that I can remember how to do it when I want to!

 

Sue, your welcome. Happy to help you out.

 

Thanks Dave
