How to do that faded text thing

[mlewis]

How do I do the cool color fading thing in the signature?

[filburt1]

I remember that Netscape Composer once had a rainbow text filter. Then you could just do search and replace to convert it to vBB code.

[mlewis]

Yes but people ON THIS FORUM are doing it...I want to know how!

[barrk]

You can try one of these threads.....Active had a tool for this that was great.....I'm sure someone here has the link if it's not these two.

TESTING

Heythisiskindacoool....

[TANiK]

teach me!

[TANiK]

I have the HTML code for the fading text, how do I convert it to code that I can use on vbulletin boards?

[filburt1]

<font color=color></font>

[color=color][/font]

[TANiK]

is there a way to not have to do it by hand?

[filburt1]

It's called Search and Replace.

[TANiK]

how?
I got this program that does 'gradient' and stuff, but it says that "You Need to have CommonDialog ActiveX Control Installed"
how do I get that?

[DaveAMS]

Wow. You do realize that all of this time spent using html tags to fade text COULD be spent writing c++ code using pointers...don't you?

[mlewis]

Go to this post and download the program mentioned on it. Then reboot and go to IE.

Right click on a text box like the one in Submit Reply and you'll have a bunch of cool commands.

oh, and DaveAMS...

all the development time on applications is really spent fading text with html tags in some obscure post on a cool forum.

its true!!!

watch....

Pointers are very difficult to program so we are phasing them out of our vocabulary. Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...Pointers...

[DaveAMS]

Phasing out pointers...you didn't have anything to do with the development of java, did you? Oh, and you've made a fatal error in your calculations. Your version number for vb is a little off:

3.14159265358...the next digit is "9", so it would round up:

3.14159265359.

Thanks dave.


I actually did a cut and paste from another app so I didn't think about digit errors.......

And I had nothing to do with making Java. I like pointers, really. Except for all of their problems...like GPFs...theyre actually a cool little device.

[DaveAMS]

> I actually did a cut and paste...

That's cheating. Everyone should know at LEAST the first 13 digits of pi by heart.

> Except for all of their problems...like GPFs

Pointers don't cause GPF's...The GPF-Fairy does. But if you put them under your pillow at night, they'll turn into a dime by morning!

:: falls to his knees ::

Oh great and glorious GPF Fairy!! Forgive me for my sins!! I have wrongfully denied you credit for destroying my life (not to mention lots of code)!! Don't kill me, please!!

:: collapses in tears ::

Wahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All those gpfs I had while I was trying to >hic< break into that program and I >hic< destroyed them!! I couldve been >hic< rich!!!!

AAGHHHHHH!!!!!!

:: decides to jump off of a bridge and end the pain ::

I -do- know those digits of PI.. the thing is I wanted more digits than I could remember (I had access to 50 with little effort) but I couldn't get them to fit into the box very well so I erased a few. Hence the cut and paste.

I didn't cheat! Really! Honest! Crap..
