| I have PM'd our resident Mac expert so that she may be of assistance. (alixnotes) I am reasonably sure it's a Mac or its browser incompatibility. Thanks!

Well I agree, Safari is not easy to change the colours and fonts.
It can be done by ........
1) choose the font or colour you want from the drop down.....
2) this will put into the text box the html code.
3) the code will look something like this....... [code][/code] but with the font or colour instead of the word 'code' as in my example above
4) you then need to put your actual text between the brackets.
So not simple.
Do you have any other browser? Firefox or Flock seem to work more easily that this.
Hope this makes sense!

I noted the comment re changing colours. However, the one about size wasn't spoken of. Very simple with Safari. Hold down the Command key (Apple) and hit the + key. The type will get larger each time you do that. I've found it works in Camino as well but haven't tried Firefox.
I know I'm late to the party but only joined the forum recently. But have been using Macs since my first 512K back in '86. How far we've come!
