    To be able to change the font color of links we post. Some time I use the title of the page and then link that to the page and changing the font color helps make it stand out. I always make them orange.

    What theme are you using wonder if it may have some thing to so with that. Got it to work for me once or twice yet can not replicate.

    Here is how I am doing it.

    Copy/Paste the link in to the post finish all my typing then highlight the link or the word I have the link attached to and press the test color button. It changes the link to the proper color.

    Yet the word that I attach the link to does not change. When I then click Post Reply some times it works most of the time it defaults to the color theme.

    I have tried different browsers, changing the color before adding the link after adding the link.

    I have not had this problem on any other forum I have been on.

    You have to highlight the word HERE and select the color, you don't highlight and color the link.

    Ok what you do is once you have colored the link the 1st time, you will notice it then turns back to blue again once the http link is embedded right? That is the issue, so essentially you have to do it twice. Once you see that link go back to blue -- highlight the word again and choose your color again.
