I want to see color in my posts. Fields of color. No characters with white. White is not a color, even though it is syntactically if not perceptually in vB, although if I zapped my display’s RGB it would be (pretty trippy, right? positively Wittgensteinian).

Formatted null sets? I’d try it with the Unicode app on my iPad but I have no room left for it so I can’t. (So I won’t, my inner child adds.)

Any ideas on how it could get done in SD, short of altering my consciousness? I first tried spaces with “magenta” because it seemed closest to purple haze.

This post has been graped by the Wittgensteinist.

I think he means highlighting. I wrote this in Word, using highlighting, and then copy/pasted.

No joy.

It can be done, probably by Jerry, by making a change to the style sheet.

Maybe [Stylish](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/) will do what you want. There may also be a [Greasemonkey](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/?src=ss) [script](http://www.greasespot.net/) that will work.

You didn’t care? Then why did you post?

I can even highlight in white. I said so. It’s in the OP. You were sure, though. Which buttons have I apparently pushed for so long? A scoff cut-and-paste certainly is warranted by now, best by PM.

I was mocking Dex for not understanding that I was making a joke by referring to an old, long-banned poster, who colored all his posts in purple and signed them “this post has been graped by the Grapist.”

I don’t think you’ve been around long enough to remember but Dex certainly has. Telling me I was missing the point was spectacularly missing the point.

Just a joke. No attack intended.

We can have color!

Then we can have avatars!!

Then we can have text speak!!!

And walls of text!!!

And pictures, lots of pictures!!!

We’d be like _Pleasantville_ emerging from its black and white existence.

We’d find nude paintings where we now have banner ads.

Sorry, got carried away with the idea of change.

To be fair, **elmwood** started it. I just made him a circle instead of an ellipse. I looked and looked for a website that would do vBulletin colors, but eventually had to ask him directly.
