Two questions... if anyone can point me in the direction of either answers that would be great.
1) How do you color signs in game? (like on houses)
2) How do people make these colorful signatures on boards? I can only get standard white. Thanks

You have to use Hex code... do a google search for that.
You simply add the following before a work: \#XXXXXX
Replace the X's with the appropriate hex code.
I'd also suggest just doing a search through this forum for "signatures" and you'll find plenty of help.

the hex code thing is right, I find it useful to find an HTML color chart online and print it out for reference in game.
As far as a sig goes....well the easiest way to do that for the not so computer literate is to reply to a message and use the graphicaleditor to get your sig the way you want it, color, justification, font, and size. Once you are done, switch to the Edit as HTML mode then copy and paste all that text into the sig box of your profile. If you take note of the HTML it is using you can quickly learn how to tweak it by changing colors or size or even fonts by replacing the portions of the sig. Then just find a post you made before to check it, because it will change the sig on all your previous posts. Good luck.

on the boards just remember that after you copy/paste all the codes and before you hit "submit post" make sure to click the "Edit as HTML" button once then hit "Submit Post"
If you are doing a sig, do all of the above except after you hit "Edit as HTML", copy and past your sig code, head to profiles, paste in "Signature" then click the save changes button.
For houses, text space is limited so you may want to use a non fade color if its a long name. Bring up your desktop notepad, get your house title the way you want it, copy, get ingame, paste the title into the house name. (you can set up copy and past through the options menu. Look through the Tuesday Tips [i think] to find out how to do that)

I see in game houses that have their names as two separate lines, like
Name one line
++++++++++
Name two line
how can I do that? I can't figure it out.
thanks!

You need to make the sign in an external application, such as WordPad, copy it to the clipboard and then paste it in game.
You will need to set up your own binding for paste via the options menu.

Its easy if you know what the hex code does. Your code has 3 color channels, with 2 digits per channel. So it normaly looks like #000000. The first 2 numbers are your red channel, 2nd are yourgreen channel, 3rd is your blue channel. Enter the strenght of the color you want into each channel 00 being no color and ff being the strongest. REmeber hex is base 16, so 1 - f is the scale.
