+# (just for reference) == Ctrl+K in mirc to put the color code symbol in
+
+now to have a background color, you must specify a forground color first (#0,15)
+
+, denotes end of forground color, and start of background color
+
+irc colors work in many strange ways:
+
+#0-#15 for forground color // the code currently converts to this one, which is not the "proper" irc way, read the next one to understand. Still need to support it, just not output as it.
+
+#00-#15 for forground color (note #010 to #015 is not valid) --- this is the "proper" irc way, because I could say "#11+1=2" (which means I want 1+1=2 to appear black (1), but instead it will come out as indigo (11) and look like this: +1=2)
+
+background examples: (note
+
+#0,15 (white forground, light gray background)
+
+#00,15 (white forground, light gray background) // proper way
+
+#15,0 (white forground, light gray background)
+
+#15,00 (white forground, light gray background) // proper way
+
+I hope this makes sense to you, to be able to edit the IRC_FilterMircColours function ~ Moodles
