Thanks! That actually helps a *lot*! I'd been wondering how to edit those darned controls. 🙂

So you guys really don't like my pretty blue background with white text? Hmmm... well, aside from being normal, what would you prefer?

Speaking for myself, no. It's very distracting and glaring.

Normal is perfectly fine for me, thank you very much.

I agree with Smercurio.  Please don't use it.

But I am curious as to how you got it to appear that way.  From the web page message edit screen, I don't see a way to do that.  Are you using some different way of posting?  Some behind the scenes HTML editing?

PS.

Here's something odd I've noticed.  If I want to see the HTML code behind a webpage, I can go to View/Source on IE's menu, and a box pops up with the HTML source.  It no longer seems to work when I'm on a page within the discussion forums.  At www.ni.com and other websites, no problem.

Ravens Fan,

The source show up fine in Safari on my Mac.

I actually use Firefox, but I am able to view the page source in IE just fine. Are you sure you've scrolled down enough? There seems to be plenty of blank text at the top.

The effect is done with a <div> tag by switching first to editing the message as HTML, like this:

Here's some annoying looking text.

When you switch to HTML, you enter something like this:
<DIV style="COLOR: white; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #336699">Here's some annoying looking text.</div>

I'm on IE 6.0 and it always worked before.  I'll have to check from my home PC where I recently upgraded to IE7.  I have the same behavior on another PC at work with IE6.  It's like it recognizes the menu choice, then just ignores it.  Weird!
