alison Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I've just done an experiment to highlight a message about a cast change in a page of posts, here: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/10523-enb-casting-for-romeo-and-juliet/?p=146122 in the hope that it would stand out to someone quickly scrolling down the page. It's currently in orange text and font size 18. I would have tried it in red, but wasn't sure how it would show up to anyone with red-green colourblindness. If you have any feedback, please post it here. I can't see that we have any viable options apart from changing font colour and size, and many of the font colours aren't both easily visible and sufficiently well distinguished from black.

Jan McNulty Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It stood out to me and was easy to read. Great idea, Alison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mallinson Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 You can also highlight text like this by using the Background Colour option in the Special BBCode menu. Have to know the Hex value of the colour you want which you can find in the Text Colours popup if you select More colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Aha! I was surprised there wasn't any sort of "highlighter" command. Thanks, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 But highlighting is a bit of a fiddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 It is, isn't it? Think maybe I'll stick with trying to find a colour (and font size) which is easy to pick out from the rest of the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
