...she copy pasted the text she wanted to refer to as it was coloured.
Lol - that is exactly what I did.
Guess I will go with teal, if it's not too hard to read.
Let me know if it is and I will pick something else.

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
Looks like this is going to be a full 24 hours before someone continues the story.
(Jetrall, Elfen, that's your guys' cue)
Stormcat: Teal looks like one of the easiest to read colors to me.
Party Foul & Zhar, I suggest that one of you change to either a lighter or darker color respectively, because they look almost identical. Especially that one post that has Zhar quoting Party Foul, I had to strain to tell which one was which. Thanks fellas.
Edit: I just realized I passed my 666 post!!! Mwahahaha!! And I've been here for 2 whole years now. Yay me!
You guys only have to colour the actual speech part of your posts you know. The bit in the speech marks. You don't have to colour the whole post, lol.
You can colour the whole post too I guess.

I figure that coloring the whole post is easier because you can't get back to the normal beige color and going back through and coloring the speech and thoughts is too much like work.
Btw, Elfen, execellent post. I had to post as soon as I saw that. Now I'm curious to see where this is going to go. Can't wait

Write the whole post out first, then colour the speech. That's what I did. Yeah it's a bit more work, but its a little easier on the eyes. A soloid wall of bright green and dark red is still kinda hard to see some times. It also makes it easier to distinguish what is speech and what is text.
But hey, at least people are posting.
EDIT...
Actually there is a way to go back to the beige colour text of the post. It requires the use of Microsoft Word. Well there used to be, Pre Office 2007. It doesn't work like it used to in the older versions of Word
Copy a sentence or words from the forum
Go to Paste Special
Go to Paste Formatted Text. It will copy it in the forum colour (well it should).
Select the text
Go to colours
Go to more colours
The colour of the text from the site will be shown in the box so hit "OK"
Type out your post
Copy it to your reply
Your reply to the thread will now be in the beige colour of the font.
I did my old RP that way. It does have problems those for people with speed vision. That layout that uses the beige colour as a background.
I have Office 2007 now, so the way I used to do it doesn't work. Haven't figured out how to paste coloured text into Word 2007 yet.

Lol, thanks for the help with it Elfen, but seeing how I really didn't want to highlight the certain parts of the text because that was too much work, I don't think I'll go through the whole coping and pasting proceedure you described, no offense
Well its the only way I really know of to go back to the colour of the forums since for some strange reason its not in the drop down list. And I was mostly explaining that for reference purposes, its rather involved and time consuming.
The alternative to that I guess is to copy some text from the post above, insert that in, and it will be the right colour.
I guess another reason I wrote up that method is incase for what ever reason you decide to do a really really long story post, and you type it out in word first. For some odd reason, the forums sometimes spaz out whe nyou copy huge amounts of text from Word, which has a default font colour of BLACK, so the forums posts your text as black in your post. Black text on a Black background. Nice one forums.:rolleyes:
Guess you could change the colour of the post right before you hit submit, but then you still have the same problem.
There are a few colours that are close but not the same. Like this one for instance And this one
Why the forum colour is not in the drop down list, i'll never know, It's quite annoying.

Hmm, now that I've seen how it looks when only the dialogue is coloured, I think I'll do it that way.
I usually don't speal much in my posts though, Ignis is more of a thinker..
So I'll just colour his thoughts as well.
Very good post Elfen, I didn't see that plot twist coming at all :D.
Well, set us up for some horrible tale from the townspeople, gonna leave this one to Elfen and Jetrall, since they know where the story will take us.

I can start using this color in order to prevent any further confusion between me and Zhars posts.
work okay?
Outstanding sir. I really appreciate that, as I'm sure the others will too.
Well done Elfen. My fears were confirmed. The dying Tappasian said "While our best fighters were in the fields" Christ, we were fighting the people we were supposed to protect.
Yay, somebody else refusing the dialogue only colouring ^^.
And btw, I may not be on here much for the next week or so.
Getting a new computer, I've finally got one that can actually run games from the last decade.
And I've gone for a solid 2 years now, without a solid gaming platform.
So yeah, I've got some hardcore catching up to do.

I can't tell what is and what isn't meant to be speech as the quotation symbols are just sort of thrown in their willy-nilly as far as I can tell.
"I'm sorry for these people, I really am, but every second we waste here is time that we could use to catch those murdering bastards!"
He/she then jumps on a horse and draws his/her weapon.
"If you want to stay and help, fine, but I am going to teach those Riddians a lesson! Hyaaah!!"
He/she snaps the reins and rides off into the forest, a blood lust of rage filled revenge in his/her eyes.
