Aha! It worked. You have to spell the colour out, I remember now.
This no preview thing is going to make all of the # of posts jump, that's for sure.
And hey, while I'm at (sorry safarimama, don't mean to hijack your thread!) I stayed up way too late the other night reading people's profiles, even though there wasn't many to read yet - c'mon guys I want to read some more!
The question I have on all this though is WHAT does the little balloon beside 'submit' say on the submit button? The writing is really tiny and it's yellow and I'm over 50 & can't read it even with glasses. Or, there's two balloons on the Add a reply button - what do they say?

safarimama, you have to open & close the font, or the underline etc with brackets; while with colours you just have to 'change' it to something else - for example as orange is not a colour listed, I can use that as an example so that you can see what needs to go where:
<orange> your orange sentence would be here <black> this part would come out black <red> this part coms out red, but you can't see my 'less than bracket' - red - 'greater than bracket'
For the underlining etc this is the one that you have to turn on with , and then turn off with a / backslash in between the at the end.
for example, if italics was really spelled 'eyetalics' (I can't use the real way of spelling it because then the 'formula' would become hidden) you would do the following:
<e> your sentence will be in eyetalics </e> the rest of this would be normal this is me using an i for real italics and then turning it off and underlining by using a u.
Once I submit I will see if I did everything right....

Well, looks like I didn't turn off the red, and Tom, orange is a colour that works! Okay so you can't see what I did for the colour, here goes I will use pretend colours of burple and blacke and reddish.
<burple> if the colour burple existed this part would be burple <blacke> this part would come out blacke <reddish> and this part would come out reddish. <blacke>
<burple> if the colour burple existed this part would be burple <blacke> this part would come out blacke <reddish> and this part would come out reddish. <blacke>
