baxil mentioned this a long while ago, together with an explanation. Unfortunately I can't remember what it was, but there's a good reason for it, apparently.

It's the browser's best shot at parsing non-standard font color codes - when you put your name or any other text between those tags, the browser expects to see a code.

See, you can do it with non-name words, too:








It works in Explorer and old Netscape, but not so well in Mozilla and not at all, from what I understand, in Opera. (If you get "huh?" comments from people, they probably have a standards-compliant browser.)

it does work in opera.

unsuprisingly, I come out a nice shade of green



See? =8)

But you all come out in plain old black in both Mozilla and Firefox.

Firefox shows the colours on my journal page, but on my friends list and in the comments it shows up black.

It's not enough to make me stop preferring Firefox over IE.

Nope, I see you black. (Mozilla 1.3 - it's ... quirky ... in rendering oddball code.

OMG, that icon is so *ky00te!*

Now that I've got that out of my system... Wow, Targaff, that's a name I haven't seen in years. :)

Now the obligatory "let's see what color my name is" thing:

Yes, I'm afraid I still exist. Hi there ;)

The icon was done for me a long time ago by Skylara, after she did a pencil sketch of it.

I guess I am one of those "huh?" browers. Umm I mean I use one.
