I've searched and can't find a thread about some words that are enhanced by being seen as bright green.

I can figure it out but for some reason can't read the green words.

Why is this being done?

Where did you see words in green? I'm not getting any like that. That's weird!

please tell more detale about this

When you hover over them, do they open advertisements/links to advertisements?

you can have any colour. not just limited to what is suugest by the colour piker at the top of the posting box.

notice that it says:

¦Verdana [\/]¦ 3 [\/]¦ White [\/]

OK the first word, Verdana is the Font that your post will be in,

The Three is the size of the text

The word "white" is the colour of the text

Now try clicking any of these and changing the selection.
you will get a dialoguoe box asking for what text you want.
type in it. dont add any , commers ,,, as it can mess it up.

you will see when done something like this:

[ colour=Limegreen. ]your text here[ / colour. ]

The strange text is the code. telling the forum how to show your writing.

dont edit it. or it wont work. you can change the colour to hexidecimal number, if you want a different colour not listed on the drop down menu.

just google hexidecimal colors and you will be bombarded with a rainbow of codes.

its so easy 8 ) try it out you can even go bold

The other buttons are as follows:

[H1][EX][B][I][U]

H1: this is the headline tag it will make your text look like this:

I AM A HEADLINE

EX: this is External content. use when quoting another website/scource. remember you can only quote 2 paragraphs. or you can get the website in trouble

Only quote two paragraphs at most.

B: bold text

I: italics

U : underlined text

and the rest of the buttons:

well you can easily work them out by just clicking on them

you can embed pictures, video. add links

and bullitens

majic is a leprechaun, watch out

Apparently I have finally lost my mind. I can make no sense of why people are using that yucky green for some of the relevant words in their posts.

Could possibly be my new medications. Due to my kidney failure I have had a bout with gout in my feet since New years day.

Or maybe it's the sudden unexpected urge to go potty that has ruined my brain.

No maybe not. It could be that I have lost 20 pounds since Jan 1, 2010 and I am delusional. Can't eat...medicine makes me sick.

I am going to study this green madness some more and get back to you with examples.

I asked a simple question and would appreciate a simple answer. Yes, take advantage of me when I'm down and make a funny post.
Just remember............I'm hell when I'm well.

Well,I was always wondering if everyone else was seeing what I was seeing when I go to this site.

Now I know they are not.I have no idea what the green text is that is being discussed and now I think I am missing out on something.

Sounds like the beginning of the "green text" conspiracy.

Thank you for your replies.

Hey there,

If you spot a post that is a good example, sent me a u2u with the link and I'll let ya know if I see what you see (ie. if it's a browser thing, or whatever) and maybe we can figure it out.

Ok, well I'm not any help. Based on the example you fwd to me, I don't see anything unusual.

No colored text, no hidden links, etc. Just normal post type.

My presumption is that it may be a browser issue.... what are you using and which version?
