html codes not working

mindachemindache Member Posts: 57 Arc User
Hi everyone, I've been wondering why my html code in signature section doesn't work. Instead of coloring the text, the whole code is shown:

"[color='FireBrick']text[/color]".

I also observed that instead of emoticons i get to see this e.g.:

":disappointed:".

Also I tried to tag someone with @example but it did not work... What's the matter?
<font color="FireBrick">All we ask for is satisfaction.</font>

    If it says "You can use Simple Html in your post." at the bottom of your post/signature field, then you need to use HTML, not BBCode. Some users have HTML and other BBCode, we're still trying to figure out why.

    I looked at your post permissions in this thread and it shows you have access to HTML, not BBCode, so use the following to get your firebrick color:

    <font color="FireBrick">Text here</font>

    To post an image using Simple HTML, use:
    <img src="URLHERE">

    To post a hyperlink using Simple HTML, use:
    <a href="URLHERE">Name of Site/Page Here</a>

    The tags field is not for tagging people, it is for tagging topics and doesn't use @ symbols or # hash tags. If you want to tag someone in your post/thread, then just type their handle prefixed with an @ symbol. So, if you want to tag me in a post so I see it in my notifications, type @zebular for example or you can hash tag #mages which will give a search for "mages" and other posts that hash tagged #mages.
