Hello, I'm wondering why it's not possible to let TLC post coloured if the topic is TLC-related (like announcements or official answers) and uncoloured (like we all) if the topic is normal discussion between us. This works fine at 1000steine.de, (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
