How do you do that?

------------------
It doesn't matter if you don't know what you're doing as long as you look good doing it.

I can't tell you that yet... I'm still testing the feature. TLE will be pleased. *LOL*

[monger=abcdef,123456]With luck, it won't be used too much - messages become 30x larger...[/monger]

It's funny when exactly my highlighting switches from blue to white.

If you don't believe in what I say or the God I speak of I guess you'll just have to meet me so the Lord and I can convert you.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

BTW, Hobbes, you're close, but not quite right. This thing changes the font color at each letter not each word. All those extra font tags (you'll have: <font color="xxxxxx"> and: </font> on either side of every character of the string the color thing is applied to, including spaces) are what makes it take up so much more space.

When this goes public, I'm sure there will be rules about not using it in sigs and status lines...

Hehehee.... Yeah, prolly, TSN

[monger=FF0000,0000FF]In order to get the whole spectrum, you have to have a really long sentance like this, I'd imagine...[/monger]

[monger=FFFF00,00FF00]Well, I guess we will have a new way to emphasize our witty remarks.[/monger] So much for just s few smiley faces.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :

[monger=ffff00,ff00ff]Wow. This is really cool. I cannot decide whether I like this or the cute little smiley faces more. On the one hand, this could thoroughly annoy anyone trying to read a really long post. I mean, in a really long post someone is bound to get a headache trying to figure out if the color of the text is really changing before his or her eyes. On the other hand, a large army of little smiley faces will strike fear into the hearts of all post readers. This is especially true if some of those smiley faces are the little sniper kind that randomly hide in the post. Hmm, just some food for thought. Now where's my Dr Pepper?[/monger]

It's also, like, 84K, man.

Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :

Actually, there's a limit of 15 smilies per message... Mongering is, by far, more annoying.

But, as Frank pointed out, it's a really, really, really big waste of space. It'll be removed in a few days. *L*
