Forum description formatting help

[jdab]

Basically, I added some formatting to my forum descriptions, to let users know if the service was online or offline.

I added a paragraph (<p>) and some colouring, but for some reason, even though I have closed the colour tags, it makes the 'Forum Moderator' text and the 'Sub-Forums' text also change colour.

Here is an example:

How can I stop this?

exact code?

exact code?

<p>
<strong>Service: </strong><FONT COLOR=#008000>ONLINE</COLOR>

You need to do this:

<p>
<strong>Service: </strong><FONT COLOR=#008000>ONLINE</COLOR></p>

I think it will work.

I think it will work.

Makes no difference, just adds an extra line under 'Service: Online'.

Strange. Have you asked at myBB? It works fine on my forum I just tested it.

Thanks so much!

How the hell did I not notice that 😛 But why did it not effect my forum? :shrug:

JosephC is right.

It's this;

<p><strong>Service:</strong> <font color=#008000>ONLINE</font>

Although the valid way is to do this;

<p><strong>Service:</strong> <span style="colour: #008000;">ONLINE</span>
