Colour problems

[Gaffer]

If you select a bit of text in a certain colour, the code tags it correctly as a "worded" colour.

The colour button (next to "sizes") now sets itself to that colour.

However, if you now click that button to colour another piece text in your post the same colour, gobbledegook ensues.
The tags are incorrect, so rather than say

[color="MediumTurquoise"]

it now says

[COLOR="rgb(72, 209, 204)"]

which doesn't work and just "shows up" as part of the sentance :x

Any way to fix this for the forum please?

Sorry ......I know this is 1 year old , but the issue still occurs.

Just to clarify the problem, clicking the colours button so that the pallette appears, works fine.....but highlighting some text and clicking the colour button (which has been set to a particular colour) results in vB markup that isn't par5ed.

Any solutions on the horizon ? (Happens regardless of which OS or which browser I use btw, so if it's a vB general issue, does anyone know if a fix will be released?).

If its using RGB to decide colour and it isnt working, try taking out the space inbetween the numericals

Tried that but it doesn't work. Example, <---- this word coded to orange. Trying again via the button and then editing out the spaces gives:

[COLOR="rgb(255,140,0)"]Same Problem[/color]

Gaffer.. .. .. if you go to usercp > edit options > miscellaneous options

What is yours set to? I'm trying to re-create your problem but can't do it. Mine is set to full WYSIWYG editing.. .. .. what's yours set to?

[Gaffer]

Ok....yes, it was on full wysiwyg.

I've changed it now to standard formatting.

....[COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]and this is still what happens.[/color]

Firefox same thing.
IE on Win same thing.

I'm a bit stumped....

Right the last line you posted (in bold) shows that that line is unpar5able...meaning that the vB server is giving me incorrect code.

I initially thought it was an incompatibilty issue with Safari, but have switched to Firefox for this post.......[COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]and this is still what happens.[/color])
