BleepingComputer.com: question about font colors ???

I Windows xp, msn explorer
For some stange reason I can not get font colors to work properly. It used to work....maybe a anti spyware program is the trouble.....any suggestions would help if anyone has run into this situation.
I have been told in YUKU chat and in emails to tothers different colors show up, but NOT on my computer when I pick them.
Just like in this message box here....It is only showing black.....confused.....sigh

Please give details as to which fonts aren't working?

Firstly, you're probably using the standard editor, which has a fixed syntax. I can see the code tags that you have opened.
Your text is not in the middle of the tags.
You have this:

[font="Comic Sans MS"][/font]Your text here

It should be like this:

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Your text here[/font]

If you like, you can use the rich text editor. It's the icon on the top right of the message boxes when you click the "Add Reply" or "New Topic" button

Thanks for trying to help aomaster
Just one of those problems that I have to live with.
Yes, I understand about putting the color inside .
I do appreciate the help
