Chat color bind

Please help!

I'm trying to change an old bind that I used to use to make my chat background transparent. After reading the forums for 30 minutes (and trying out numerous combinations), nothing works. I am using the following:

/bind enter beginchat <color red><bordercolor pink><bgcolor #ffffff00>

That bind actually works...sort of. Once I hit enter, it places the color information in my chat message. The problem is that I don't have a cursor to type my message. In fact, I can't type any text at all, unless I manually bring a cursor into the message string. What do I need to add/remove/change so that I can simply hit enter and begin typing away?

Thanks in advance!

One, make sure beginchat and everything after that is enclosed with quotation marks. Might want a space between the last value and the closing quotationmark.

Two - if one does not work, try /unbind enter
And then go menu -> Options -> Graphihcs tab and they have settings for this kind of thing there.

When they made the changes to hyperlink most text, all the color, bordercolor, and bgcolor commands failed. They haven't been fixed since to my knowledge.

From one of the programmers:
The new SMF code converts < and > to &lt; and &gt; (which show as < and > in displayed text but don't get recognised as meaning 'this is a tag' internally in order to stop players from breaking other people's clients with bad tags or whatever. Unfortunately this means the text colouring doesn't work any more. Probably needs a better solution but not a high priority until the start of next year.
