Oh, you've edited it-- great!  Now just go back to the post (you can use the link in this message) as Cassandra suggested and add a comma after the color name, and then it'll be perfect. :D

Just count characters.  Or you can enter 300-- that always works me for me-- so this
Code: [Select]
[glow=red,3,300]TEXT[/glow] comes out TEXT

Is 300 one of those 'magical' all encompassing numbers (such as 127)?

Thanks for your patience ;)

Nope. That 300 is the value of the width (in pixels - dots of light on your monitor screen) of the text you want to glow. :)

All the magic numbers are multiples of 8 ( or 16, which is itself a multiple of 8 ) or their computer representations. Remember in computers everything starts at 0 instead of 1, so 127 is often considered #128 because there are 128 numbers in the sequence 0, 1, 2, ... 127.

What is the first number?  The second is the number of characters, but how do you decide what to do for the first?  So far I haven't noticed any differences in any of them.

That helps!  It seems that most of the examples were 2 or 3 and there didn't seem to be a difference.
