Forum Tip: How to Highlight text with another color.

[K'Tesh]

A question was asked recently in The 2011 Mileage Thread on how to highlight text in a different color...

So, I've created this little post to show how.

When creating a new thread, posting to an old thread, or editing a post to include a different color text, you type your message, highlight the area you want to change, then click on the bold underlined "A" (in the image below, it's highlighted in blue).

A drop down menu of colors will appear.

Select the color desired, and the result should look something like this...

Save your message, and it's done.

A bit embarassing, but I don't know how to do that. Please, do tell.
