With HTML its bgcolor=
so try [bgcolor=black] or whatever.
However I don't understand why your asking, just change the colour of the font. Or edit the forum template (assuming you own the forum).

Edit found this, its for invision power forums, its a forum mod though, which means its probably not a default code:

Sorry had to be cache link as the other was dead I think

With CSS its
<style type="text/css">
body {back-ground color: red:
}

</style>

[dom]

With CSS its
<style type="text/css">
body {back-ground color: red:
}

</style>

That wouldn't change the background of the rectangles containing text. That's not what he wants.

Well, if it's vBulletin you can make a custom BB Code relatively easily:

Code: Select all

Tag Name: bgcolor
Replacement: <div style="background:{option}">{param}</div>
Use {option}: On

Usage: [bgcolor=#f00]lorem ipsum[/bgcolor]

Using a span instead of a div highlights just the text.

There might be something similar on your particular forum software.
