It was so much better back in the days when we did have it, why did it get taken away?

It's still there, it just takes a little more work to get it. Something tells me you'll survive.

Yes, you can still use the BB code have have colored text within the shoutbox. The reason why the button for color was taken away was to discourage constant use of different colors. If we had the button back, the shoutbox would constantly look like a demented rainbow. And no, that would not be cool.

If you need to highlight some message, then you can with the BB code, but otherwise, there's no point to have different colors within the shoutbox.
