    In which minigame/server does the bug occur: It doesn't occur on the server. It occurs on the forums.
    Detailed description of bug: So, I was editing my staff application to see if the character limit was still there (I never changed any colors), and when I saved it, the message appeared saying that I couldn't change it because of the character limit. I pressed ok and then scrolled up to the top and noticed something was wrong - the color of the answer to a question was all blue. I tried changing it back once. It didn't work. I thought, "Okay, maybe I didn't press 'save changes'". I went back to edit it, and the same thing happened. The color stayed the same, even though I saw the text black in the text editor.... This may have been just my computer, but thought I might as well post it here in case it is a bug. Better safe then sorry! Thank you for reading :)

    Because this is just what the color is when I type.... I'm talking about on a post I made, the text won't change back to black.

    Select all the letters in blue. Go to colors (the A) And pick black. Then click somewhere else. See if that'll work, it always does for me.

    Okay. I was testing with this, and here's what I came up with:

    • If it had ( ) in it, you have to select the first part then the second part and change their colors separately, so say in my thread I said something like "I am a very nice person (no jk I'm not) when I'm working with others." I'd half to select just the part before the ), so the "I am a very nice person (no jk I'm not" and then change it back to normal, and it might change the rest, might not. It's strange like that.
    • If there is more than one color selected, then it won't change either. So if you have "I like these colors." then you have to change them separately as well.
    Hope this helped, emoticons might also mess with it, I'm not sure.​

    I normally backspace my words to the upper line, re-type that again, and then do the colors still..

    I've had this problem, too.

    Maybe your post seems like it only has the black color, but in reality, a lot of BBCodes have been added to it.
    Here is an example.

    As you can see, my post looks fine.

    But lets go more in-depth should we?
    Look at the Editor Bar

    Click the Use BB Code Editor [​IMG]

    And in reality this is what we have:

    Hope this helped, see if there is a lot of "unused" color codes in your staff application.
