Ok, this new feature I've been struggling with for a while but I think I have it working reasonably well enough now to release it out there for everyone to try.
You will notice that above the text input box for thread messages is a text formatting tool bar. There are buttons for making your text like Italic, Underline, <strike>Strikethrough</strike>, colorized and Font and <font size="5">size</font>, along with paragraph formatting and bullet list tools. I did not add a BOLD button because of the background wallpaper, all the text has always been set to bold here. Using non-bolded text with some of the wallpapers makes the text hard to read for some of us.
Like all new features, this is activated only for upgraded members.

IE5, IE6, IE7 I have not been able to get the bugs out of this as of yet on these three outdated IE browsers. If you wish to use this new feature please upgrade to IE8. I haven't tested it yet on IE9, but there are very few users of 9 as of yet.
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">For Firefox and Safari users:</span>
It appears to work beautifully on these, but do let me know if you have any issues.
<span style="background-color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">For Google Chrome users:</span>
It works almost as well as Firefire and Safari. Again let me know what issues if you might find.
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">For Opera users:</span>
Its a bit wonky, but works reasonably well. You will notice the spacing might seem odd as you are typing in text in the input box. Once you hit preview you will get a idea of how it will look and if anything needs to be fixed.
So go ahead, try it out and play. Let's get creative here.
