I have enabled text background color in my editor on my forum, and it does work while you're writing, but when you preview the post or post the post, the text is just normal without any background color.

How can I fix this?

I don't think it is a problem with the editor itself, because the feature does work when you demo the "Web Wiz Rich Text"-editor on this site. But it doesn't work together with the forum - maybe it uses a code that the forum ignores?

The forum code doesn't allow this feature to be used with the RTE when used in conjuction with the forum software.

You can force it to work by editing the disllowed_HTML_tags_inc.asp file in the functions directory to allow the BACKGROUND-COLOR tag.

Thanks! I just deleted the part with the BACKGROUND-COLOR and changed the number at the top and the ones after BACKGROUND-COLOR... and that fixed it.
