I don't know if there's really a way to change fonts on the forums. The closest I know about is bold, italics, underlining, strikethrough, big, and small. These can be accessed using the buttons located just above the area where you type your post.

The color can be changed by typing something like "[color=red]red text[/color]". If you type that, you will get red text. Replace “red” with things like “blue” or your favorite color. I think even hexadecimal color codes are supported.

If someone makes a really long forum post and you want to quote/respond to it, then you might consider replacing their entire quote with “snip” so that your forum post isn't unnecessarily long.

For example, maybe you want to quote my post to say “Thanks for the answers!” Rather than doing this:

Also Can other people edit the forum you created?

Another example of snip
Only the moderators can if they contain something bad like a browser extension or email.

Also, can you delete posts?

You can't delete posts, but you can edit posts to remove the content from them.

We generally don’t delete posts, but you can close topics to prevent replies in two ways:
1. After 24 hours of the topic being opened, you have the option of scrolling to the bottom and clicking “Close topic” to stop any new replies from being added.
2. Click Report on the first post and describe in the report reasoning that you want the topic closed. A moderator will read the “report” and close the topic for you.

You can edit them, but you can't delete them unless required by your local law.

Yes, even hexadecimal colours are supported by the [color][/color] tags. The [color][/color] tags support just about all of the hexadecimal colours…
except transparent hexadecimal colours.

That's not a specific answer.

The only way is by using the [color] tag BBCode, though do you really want to take your time on that? I suggest you go to https://www.stuffbydavid.com/textcolorizer
And customize your color options there.

They provided a link to a website for you, but unfortunately it's very difficult to see it because they used gradient text for their link.

Here is the website they're talking about: https://patorjk.com/text-color-fader/ The one @Knightbot63 linked to also probably works.

How is it not a specific answer? They linked to a website which lets you make gradient text.

The link was also gradient earlier, so it was hard to see. I edited the post to make it a regular link.
