Does Anyone Know Forum HTML?

[Fatal]

...I have an invisionfree forum, and I want to know how to make a member's name bold, italic, a different color, add a symbol, or any combination of those.

I'm trying to make the change under the setting "Edit Member Group" so that when a member reaches a certain forum quota, they will get new features, and a + added to their name.

The board only gives one example: (Example:<span style='color:red'>), which changes the username's color to red, but that's all I know how to do.

Does anyone know the codes to make it bold, italic, a different color, add a symbol, or have any clue that might help me?

I've figured out pretty much everything else about IF, but not this.

This is not a question about SPPf, so I moved it.

Well:
When you edit a usergroup, there are the following ofields to fill in (as you already mentioned):

Online List Format [Prefix]
(Can be left blank)
(Example:<span style='color:red'>)

Online List Format [Suffix]
(Can be left blank)
(Example:</span>)

Put in the following values to make it like like you want it to:
Bold:
Online List Format [Prefix]: <b>
Online List Format [Suffix]: </b>

Italicised:
Online List Format [Prefix]: <i>
Online List Format [Suffix]: </i>

Different color:
Online List Format [Prefix]: <span style='color:red'>
Online List Format [Suffix]: </span>

Just replace "red" by another color's name.

Red "+":
Online List Format [Prefix]:
Online List Format [Suffix]: <span style='color:red'>+</span>

Thank you, pika.

EDIT: How do you make the red "+" bold?

I think this is the right code as I used this code to make name in Itallics at my forum:
Online List Format [Prefix]:
Online List Format [Suffix]: <b><span style='color:red'>+</span></b>

If you want it in Itallics just change the <b></b> to <i></i>

That makes just the + sign bold, though... (?)

And why does everyone insist on using <span style='color:red'></span>?
I just use the simple <FONT COLOR=Red> (or #FF0000 instead of "Red") </FONT>. The effect is the same...

your question has already been answered, but I get to play 'geek.'

anyway, the <font> tag is depreciated and hasn't been a valid HTML tag for years now. and even though <b> and <i> are still technically valid, they're frowned upon if you're doing strict coding. the technically "correct" way would be to go:

<span style="color:red; font-style:italic; font-weight:bold;">+</span>

with whatever combination of color/italics/bold you wanted.

I see... So the tag is not in use any more. But <span style="font-style:italic"> xy </span> seems like a lot to write as opposed to <i> xy </i>. I wonder why it was completely replaced, though.

Wait a minute... that would porbably be the reason why my Firefox browser misinterpreted my <FONT> (notice I dislike XHTML) tag and displayed normal, black text where it should have been red. Ok, I'll waste the extra Joule to type the <span style=""> one next time. Thanks.
