Apparently, you can't do this anymore. This is something that really should be changed ... Any old posts that used that will no longer show colors, but will show the color tags within the code and will just confuse people. Example: Code: on *:text:[color:red]!help[/color]:#: { } Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

This really is something that should be fixed in main stream UBBT. Tjerk. Ps. You could of course issue a bug report at http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/3/page/1 ?

It's just that this forum helps with other codes! it's a mIRCforum preference really. btk Last edited by billythekid; 09/12/06 08:16 PM. billythekid
