Go up one level in this thread
Don't get too worried. I can change it back in a few minutes, back to all black, or to different colors, and the change will affect all messages, even ones already posted. Different background colors for sections of text might be doable as well. I read a lot of other web based message boards, and am not above shamelessly copying good ideas, if I get the time. In fact, the colored text idea is stolen from the Agent newsreader which I use. I took it one step further by adding different colors for each level of quoting. Other ideas I 'd like to do are "next/prev in thread", "next/prev thread" buttons, etc. Searching will have to wait until we get a dedicated server, which may be in our future...
