Title: changing font colors
Post by: BamaPainGurl on October 28, 2015, 11:20:03 AM
Is there a way to make my font color change for every post I make? Without the html tags?

Hey BamaPainGirl. 

Yes, there's a way without html. 

Click reply (don't use the little quick reply screen to do this) and go to the full size reply screen.  The one that shows the smiley faces, the bold / italics / underline buttons, the insert pic / video buttons, and the font controls. 

At the far right, there's a drop down box that says "change color."  Click on that and use a color. 

A friendly advice though: most people have a hard time reading posts when the font color is too light, yellow is a hard color to read for instance.  I suggest you use the darker colors.  Other than that, have fun playing with the rainbow!   :)

Okay, so I am unable to do a master font color for all my posts. On the phile I set my font color in my profile rather than each ind. post. Thanks for pointing out the drop menu, that is easier than typing it every time.

Unfortunately no, there's no option to set a default font color.  I just looked in my profile settings and each sub-setting menu (look and layout settings, account settings, forum settings, etc.). 

You'll have to change the color per post.  Sorry about that.

No problem, thanks for taking the time to check! If it ever changes, if someone would let me know I would really appreciate it!

One thing you can do is keep your prefered settings on your computer's clip board.

So you copy a few words in the font, size & color you like and keep that on the clipboard.  Whenever you respond, just hit Control V (paste) and then add your post (you'll have to delete the pasted sample afterwards).

You may have to reset this from time to time.  If you copy and paste a lot.

That is a fine idea, Morfy! Thank you!
