I forgot to add that the HTML used for these features is in some cases browser specific. There's some ways around it, like using a whole bunch of cross-browser code rather than the simple HTML tags, but I'm not sure yet how to get that to translate into UBB.

That's what was happening to me when I combined color, blinking and marquee.

Blink is an HTML code that Netscape uses to make text flash. Internet Explorer does not have a code like that or recognize the blink code. In order to make it work for Internet Explorer, I have to trick it using complex commands. Although I know the HTML language that can do it, I'm not sure how to get the board to recognize it as UBB Code, ala [BLINK], etc.

In the same way, I thought that "marquee" was an IE function that does not exist in Netscape/Mozilla. Yet that seems to display perfectly in my Netscape 7.02. Was that a similar bit of finagling?

Nope. The newest Netscape recognizes "marquee." Any Netscape browser before that doesn't.

Gary is right about blink in IE. There is a way to do it but it requires the use of style sheets and javascript, which I would think makes it basically impossible for UBB use.
code:
<style> <!-- blink --> </style>
<script language="JavaScript"> <!--
function doBlink() {var blink = document.all.tags("BLINK") for (var i=0; i<blink.length; i++) blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""}
function startBlink() {if (document.all) setInterval("doBlink()",1000)}
window.onload = startBlink;
//--> </script>
Then with this in place you can use the < blink > command.
