Oh wait a sec, it DID work... right-click on "show picture" and by gadfrey, it shows the picture. :D Egad, I'm brilliant!

[Singin' Stray Cat]

(Okay, maybe not brilliant...more like it takes me forever to catch on... all righty, glad that worked, time to stop talking to myself before it becomes a habit... :D )

[Singin' Stray Cat]

While I'm here, maybe I'll mess with the font color a lil' bit...

This color's kinda nice

And I like this one too

Maybe this one...

The sea is nice, maybe I should stick with this one

what's century look like?

[Singin' Stray Cat]

How about a custom color?

Hey, I think it worked!

That's kinda cool...

[Singin' Stray Cat]

I'm getting closer to a color I like...

I think this is it! Now if only it had a more interesting name than "CC99FF" ...

i'm lazy -

just what language are we speaking when we say 'CC99FF'?

vB (what is, btw)
html

other?

old mainframers learn slowly...

[Roman Legion]

That would be called "hex".

oh, my bad... it's HTML. I just wondered if I could put a hex code (no, no, not the voodoo kind :) ) in the color tag instead of just selecting one from the list provided here. They're not bad colors, I'm just extremely picky when it comes to mine, especially when designing a website...:rolleyes:

yes, but in what languge is this hexadecimal string the code for a purple font?

[Nightwing]

The answer to 'what language' is HTML. HTML is the language the hex code is used in. But it works for VB here on these boards too. And I'm a good example of that. See I wanted a blue that was similar to the emblem on my, er uh, Nightwing's chest, so I used the hex code to 'mix my own cocktail' so to speak. I ended up with 00FFFF

Three sets of two numbers. 0-9, and above that is like A-F or H, I can't recall. First two configure red, second green, third blue. Hope that helps at least a tiny bit. :)

so - VB (is that Visual Basic?) sees HTML, and invokes a HTML processor to translate, and then continues munching whatever follows the HTML?

thanks!

[Nightwing]

Well the code these boards use is VB (which might or might not stand for Visual Basic, but I'm not entirely sure because the VB I know is visually oriented programing) but the syntax originated from HTML, because 99% of the rules for HTML can apply for VB. It makes it easy to use.

I'm a WF Administrator so I didn't physically build the site, and therefore am not sure if the site makes your browser translate VB into HTML, but I doubt it. A process like that is used for mass programing, not web sites and cgi-bins, as far as I know. Besides, if you wanted to do that, why not just use HTML? :)

[happyheathen]

so, maybe, whatever VB is, is incorporates the HTML language?

(dinosaur starts to recognize obvious...) :)

Ah, if you look at the bottom of every page you'll see the system they use is called "vBulletin", I assume as in Virtual Bulletin Board.
