Aha people don't realize that there is so much in the docs and readme files and previous forums post if you read the docs and wiki (as hard as it sounds) you will probably never have a question.

Apparently, 4 people can see the Search button up the top, on the left of the navigation bar.

It's the same format for both, A-Dog, not need to scream.

This old thread should help you. Try using the "search" feature on this website next time. Almost all questions you may have in the future are most likely to have already been asked before.

I wouldn't even bother answering to something like that, Wolf.

OK THAT WAS FUNNNY xDDDDD but in general, how do u blink colors?

[Felix-The-Ghost]

Best kept secret I guess. I think they've removed this in the upcoming version though. I personally liked them (for blinking individual characters) but I can see how they can be abused.

It is a secret, but it's not a secret for any nefarious reasons.
The only change made for future releases, or so I'm told, is that the ability to see blinking text will be turned off by default; something that can be turned back on. Blinking text in a map message, MOTD, or extra server info is nowhere near as annoying as blinking text in the server name on the server list.

[Felix-The-Ghost]

jamz hesitantly pointed this post by V-man out to me via pm (upon request)

It's similar to the escape sequence for colors

[SELECT ALL] Code:

\f<1-9>

except instead of the number it's the letter b:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

\fb

I'm not sure how to reset it though in the same string.

As others have said the ability to view blinking colors will be disabled by default in the upcoming version. In addition to this, if you use blinking colors in your server name/description in the current AC version, it is likely your server will be banned.

Append: Another escape sequence will cancel the blinking text (so just set the color to the same or choose another color)

\fA <A-Z> (IN CAPS ONLY is other colors
