No, name colors are not customizable on a per-user basis.

For a one-off bit of fun you can manually type custom QUOTE tags. Pink is a bit hard to read...

Well, it was a nice try, Vitreous.

I'd be okay with "Magenta". It looks like a darker version of pink to me, but I guess it's moot anyway.

Okay, Vitreous - you've got me curious, now. I tried placing the bb "COLOR" and "/COLOR" tags in various positions around your name in the "QUOTE" tag, but could not achieve the effect. (See attached text file for the exact syntax I tried.)

How'dya do it ?????

Yes, yes. I figured you must have hax0rd the entire thing, and didn't know how you did the arrow. (The correct question being 'where did the arrow come from?') Whadja do ? Plow through the html source of a page to find that one ? LOL

If only I had created the correct member name when I first signed up for Akiba, with the html tags embedded. (Not bb tags.) LOL. Are '<' and '>' and '/' acceptable characters in a member name ? ;-)

Not so tedious: Firefox, right-click image >> Copy Image Location, voilà

with the html tags embedded

I doubt it would accept such a username

vBulletin has [noparse][noparse][/noparse] tags you can use to show people bbcode examples, i.e.:

Aahhh, the [noparse][noparse][/noparse] tag. That one is new to me.

Thanks, Rollyco.
