How did you make the text borders show but the colors disappear? I can't seem to do that

How to make transparent captions | INVISIBLE CAPTIONS | image tagged in the invisible man | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Thanks for asking. For caption text with invisible fill, the font color has to be either a 4 character code that ends in zero or an eight character code that ends in double zero.

You have to uncheck the Font Shadow box but specify an outline value.

Here are the color values I used (one of them is partially hidden in the image)

"font_color": "#fff0",
"outline_color": "#22ee22"

"font_color": "#ffffff00",
"outline_color": "#ff3333"

What about the part where it says "translucent caption"

The key is the alpha channel value, the last character for a four character color code or the last two characters for an eight character color code.

0 or 00 is fully transparent, F or FF is fully opaque, the possible hexadecimal values between 0 and F will make the font color translucent.

So what's between 0 and f

hexadecimal has 16 values, 0 through 9 then "a" through "f".

Kinda dry reading, but more on hexadecimal here

and web colors here

Will Imgflip have an update that allows you to add friends and block people? I actually think it quite a good idea. Just thought I’d take it up with you though

That update is probably possible.

I've been on Imgflip a while, I've seen both those ideas suggested in one way or another numerous times.

I'm not sure if and or when it would happen though.

I'll say this, there is a person who reads imgflip.com/feedback
