I have seen coloured posts but they tend to be by people who don't generally use acronyms anyway.

It's also impossible to tell if [abbr=View My Broadband Usage]VMBU[/abbr] does anything in IE 8 as far as I can see on Win XP.
maybe flashing text is needed?

Re: Use of text speak - discussion of acronyms split off

The way the abbreviation is rendered (or not) is totally down to the browser. If you look at the page source where it has been used it uses standard html markup:
<abbr title="View My Broadband Usage">VMBU</abbr>
