It has been a long time and I have forgotten how to do colored text in a thread. I can't find the forums in which we had the discussions of how to add tweaks to our threads? Any help appreciated.

Thank you, Terry. I already "tagged" the page for future reference.

The FAQ links within each area of the site are really a treasure trove of helpful hints :-)

Thanks, I asked because I was looking back through and old thread I had started and noted that in one of the threads a user typed in red during the holiday season, hence my question.

Mmm, technically that isn't one of the html tags that our system is supposed to recognize in forum posts :-)

Here is the link:

I thought perhaps Dave had just made the word Christmas red, but Christmas Cafe is in red as well???

It shows up in red because you searched for those words. If you look in the URL, you'll see it contains this at the end: "?hl=christmas cafe" I think hl stands for "highlight" and red was the color chosen to highlight the search word(s).

If you take out that last section of the URL, you'll find the red disappears from the text:
