returning to black...

ok... colors were reduced to red and green... but... after writing a text in color, and editing it, so it doesn't have the [color][/color] tags, how do you make your font black again?

i guess the most logical way should be [color=black][/color], but it doesn't work...

Highlight the text and then use the top left icon of an A with an X through it to strip color away.

That is a non-sequitur way of doing it that most people would not think of. It should be more straighforward.

You mean instead of clicking a button that removes the formatting, you should only have to think about it, and it'll happen for you? That sounds like a good idea.

Hey, that sounds good to me too. While you're at it, why don't you make that true for the whole website. I just want to think of a post, and then have it automatically posted. Thanks.

Well if you see [color=red]Here is some text[/color] you should also be able to see that you just have to remove the bbcode manually ... if clicking the button is too hard :)
