There you are, Mist. Your question is answered... but damn, this thread was good for all of our post counts.

To answer your question (about the colors, not about Zsa Zsa): Board Administrators (myself and Carlos 9) are red. Board Moderators are blue.

That's what I said, apparently Mist wants to know why the underline and comma are still black. My response is simply this:

The colours of the text are only there so that users know which online members are a part of the admin/mod team. If it really bothers you that much that the punctuation and underline are different, then just ignore them. You don't post much outside of Yahtzee's forum, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Yup!

Random question: A minute ago (when I made another post) I saw what appeared to be new smilies that I had not seen before, yet now they are nowhere to be seen. Now my question is this: if you have three blue marbles and the ace of spades, what is the probability that you will get twelve pink elephants arranged according to height, and a rabid goat, in that order?

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

I wish I could answer your questions, Emu, but unfortunately I'm just as puzzled as you are.

It doesn't, actually, bother me. Again, I was simply curious. To clarify my question, I was actually asking whether the colours were part of Invision (as a colour choice or summat), or whether it actually was a user-coded thing, and if it was user-coded, why do the normal members (black) seem to override the mod/admin colours, but the commas/underlines don't (since, then, cheffie could elaborate on how the colour fields were set up). I'll simply resign myself to joining in the post-count twinking: Meh.

Congrats to JYAMG for his new status, glad I could be of service.

Thanks, Despondent, for that enlightening answer.

Does this jibberish qualify as a conversation?

No, it qualifies as raising one's post count.

Mist's question piqued my curiosity and made me look for the techy answer. (I probably misspelled at least two words in that last sentence.) So, here's what I've been able to find out, in all its coded glory.

The line of HTML in question looks like

2 Members: <a href='http://www.chefelf.com/forums/index.php?showuser=3'><span style='color:blue'>Ninja Duck</a>, <a href='http://www.chefelf.com/forums/index.php?showuser=116'>Stalky</a>

The problem is the "span" tag before my name, which stays open for the rest of the page. For the text underneath to stop appearing blue, it would need to look like this:

2 Members: <a href='http://www.chefelf.com/forums/index.php?showuser=3'><span style='color:blue'>Ninja Duck</span></a>, <a href='http://www.chefelf.com/forums/index.php?showuser=116'>Stalky</a>

But why does Stalky's name show up as black? It's because of this line in the CSS at the beginning of the page:

a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #000 }

Saying that all links are black unless something special happens, such as a span tag within the <a></a> tags.

There's a painfully long and hard-to-follow answer to a simple question.
