The 3 digit is CSS only. You're using the bgcolor HTML attribute. That requires 6 digits. Firefox is being extra lenient in allowing it to work against standards.{{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:22, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

:Experiment: <span style="color:#f00">CSS Red 3-digit</span> <font color="#f00">HTML Red 3-digit</font> 1 should work all the time in all modern graphic browsers, 2 will work only in FF. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

:You're actually changing the color of the text that is nonexistent b/c of Crack Stuntman's image in its place. You need to be changing the number beside "codebkgd" instead of "codecolor". Take a look at these six user boxes:

:What you're doing is invisible unless there is text in the code, as is the case in the fourth and fifth userboxes here. i made the same distinction between the first and second userboxes as i did between the fourth and fifth. it is the mistake you're making. the sixth one is just to show that codebkgd changes aren't invisible. what you're trying to do is the difference between the first and third, and changing the wrong number. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

The evil that is IE. --Jay (Talk) 20:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Opera, latest version. I just looked w/ Firefox, it seems to only work there. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 20:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I can understand IE not getting it, but Opera? That's as standards-compliand as you're likely to find, generally, and I know I have used 3-digit colors successfully before. I suspect it's actually a problem in the way the colors are being processed by the Wiki itself... - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 20:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
#ff0   #ff3   #ff6   #ff9   #ffc   #fff  
Just to confirm, all six of the above appear as black? (The thing: "Me too" what? That the colors appear as all black, or that you always use Firefox?) -- Tom 20:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Wait, I think I has the solution!

The 3 digit is CSS only. You're using the bgcolor HTML attribute. That requires 6 digits. Firefox is being extra lenient in allowing it to work against standards.- Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 20:22, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Experiment: CSS Red 3-digit HTML Red 3-digit 1 should work all the time in all modern graphic browsers, 2 will work only in FF. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 20:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Indeed. Again in IE, first one works; second doesn't. --Jay (Talk) 22:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Understood. How's this then?

It's simple, you just have to be a little more patient when writing on talk pages. Oh, and make each successive letter a lighter color. --Jay

[edit] Help!

I am trying to change the colour of the background on one of my userboxes, but every time i try to update it goes back to the colour it was before. I think I might be doing it wrong so can someone please explain?--safariventureman 20:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

You're actually changing the color of the text that is nonexistent b/c of Crack Stuntman's image in its place. You need to be changing the number beside "codebkgd" instead of "codecolor". Take a look at these six user boxes:
This user's favorite pseudocharacter is Onion Bubs.
This user's favorite pseudocharacter is Onion Bubs.
This user's favorite pseudocharacter is Onion Bubs.
lorem ipsum This user's favorite pseudocharacter is Onion Bubs.
lorem ipsum This user's favorite pseudocharacter is Onion Bubs.
lorem ipsum This user's favorite pseudocharacter is Onion Bubs.
What you're doing is invisible unless there is text in the code, as is the case in the fourth and fifth userboxes here. i made the same distinction between the first and second userboxes as i did between the fourth and fifth. it is the mistake you're making. the sixth one is just to show that codebkgd changes aren't invisible. what you're trying to do is the difference between the first and third, and changing the wrong number.
