Sometimes, you can end up with a ridiculouslylong name. Like Hammerfall Hellkitten, for example.
With a limit of 512 characters available for styling your name. There are a few things you can do to help get more color options.
Start by removing any unnessisary characters to get the sytem to proceee your name and not throw back an error.
The first thing you can do is remove all of the </font> codes. They are not needed. The software
will usually close those tags for you. On the rare occasion it does not, you will get things like * or the color will bleed into your post. When things like that happen, you can remove more things.
The quote marks are not
needed either. So you can take out all of the " " located around the hex codes a Name Fader can come in handy as well.
If you are still having problems, you can pull out the # sign from each of the hex codes.
I have only had that not work once and it garble the colors.
Failing that your last resort is to double up on your letters. In the above example name, letter like the M, L, L, T can all be doubled up and still have a smooth look to the fade.
