Bright Green does not appear in the color list. so how did I get it here?

I still don't understand what Kewl means. Does it mean "cool" or something else?

For the bright green, you used a code for the colour.
Kewl means Cool :wink:

Cool!
I already knew how to make links different colors, but I didn't know that you could make different things be the titles of quotes! :)

Phpbb   automatically   trims   excessive   spaces,   so   how   did   I   do   it?
BTW: Not visible by quoting. (i.e. you can't find out what I did by hitting "quote")

I've checked that and they work as

Code: Select all

[color=gold][/color]
With no hex writing.
Phpbb natively "knows" more colors than it suggests! :wink:

A technique for REALLY hidden links: (hit quote to see what I did)

[url=http://this_is_the_hidden_link.com][/url]
Unfortunately it's unusable as a general hidden text technique because as soon as you use spaces (instead of underlines) to make the text more readable, the technique stops functioning.
