can you tell staff to stop using colour in announcements its bloody annoying

for example im pretty sure i highlighted this in the past, HotelUser

he used to post announcements in black text (so if you're using the black skin you can't see anything) i've not read any of his announcements lately then i read one earlier

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=661915

Again, in complete black text so anyone using the black skin can't see the text...

This is hardly appealing for an announcement, it should either be in a colour that doesn't get hidden by any forum skin or default text colour.

On the old black skin, black text was made white so it could be seen. I'll see if Jamesy can do it and then your problem is solved.

I've referred Jamesy to this thread, I am sure he will look into it.

I agree with this but I haven't experienced it as I don't use the black screen, or maybe (if it's possible) the black skin could have white writing instead of black so it shows easier?

EDIT:

Okay there's been replies before I posted, woops.

I apologise, apparently it slipped people's minds! As I say, Jamesy will look into it I am sure.

Apologies Scott, I didn't think about the black skin at the time. I just thought the black stood out more on the classic theme. If Jamesy doesn't set the CSS for the dark skin I'll use default colours in future announcements!

it appears its been changed to the default colour

imho it should be changed to the same as VIP

black VIP goes to some shade of grey i believe, would look better if black text done the same

but woteva treva

Scott i'm sure this is a mistake. David put "xxMATTGxx" in bold so yeah hopefully in the future it will be sorted.

By the looks of what David has done is that he coloured it black and then also used the "Bold" function. I've just asked Jamesy about this and he does have something but only half-works at this moment in time, what I shall do is though is inform all the managers and let them know if they want to "black" anything in announcements then they should just use "Bold".

But I must add on. If you used another browser such as Firefox the the "blackness" on the dark skins wouldn't be there. Well I don't have the problem on Firefox 4.0 Beta 5.

My apologies, I was under the impression that black coloured fonts were now automatically fixed for dark skins. Kudos Matt for editing it for me :P

I'll have a chat with you later, it might be a case of my noob javascript falling apart - as it only seems to work some of the time :)
