One of the reasons stated was the effect on Premium auctions. I honestly thing this is not the main reason. It was stated that they want to give the ability back with an interface and other advantages that give everyone the ability to do it.

I personally think it has to do with the Eurpoean launch and the keyboard differences but that is just me.

European keyboard differences? You mean cos we cant use backslash? Made no difference to anyone I know, we cut and paste. They took it out because we werent meant to be able to do it in the first place.
As for premium actions they are a joke - a little star next to the item saying you're a mug that paid extra to have it listed?!
Premium items should always be shown on the front page and possibly highlighted.

That actually makes a LOT of sense... to give everyone the same advantage, and not just those who know how to make the codes.

Thanks for the info!!

I thought one reason that color coding was removed ,,was so that loot drops were being coded to yellow and they didnt want players using the same color,,but just like most else,,its mostly wonderment as to why!

There is also the powerup issue. Some weaponsmiths sell their weapons with powerups on them to make the weapon "appear" better than it actually is. Colortext would "mask" they yellow color that power-up'd weapons have. You used to have to be extra careful when buying weapons. Now when there is a powerup on a weapon, itappears yellow on the listing. Very easy to spot.

Maybe a dev will stop in and enlighten us once and for all, and end the guesswork.

That's a good point... I always scroll down on the weapon description to see what powerup was added (if any). But that doesn't mean everyone does that. But I don't get the feeling that that is why they removed the color coding.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I never liked the colored text in the first place. I'm still annoyed that I can't tell if a couple of my guns have powerups attached or not, because of their colored labels, and a lot of people would choose hard-to-read colors, and I just found it more annoying than helpful as a buyer.
