Since the update the button function for colored text in threads has vanished.

I use that great feature of UBB a lot when I edit my posts.

Can someone tell me why it was taken out or if it can be gotten back?

Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Well the other missing ones were teletext I think. but who in the world used that?

There might be some other ones missing, but I am not sure.

Here's another vote for wanting the teletype tag back!
I miss it, was helpful for making terminal commands stand out and stuff like that.

Those were hacks, and we'll probably hack them back in. The problem was initially that if you quoted it, it didn't reparse the HTML back into UBB code, and since HTML is disabled, that just made things very nasty.

It'll take a little longer for it to come back, but come back it shall.
