I've searched through BukkitDev and haven't found working, and updated plugin to allow players to create colored text on signs. There is one, but it doesn't work, yet it loads with the server. So my request, is a simple plugins that allows all users to use colored text on signs, using &<color code here> like usual (&4=red). If anyone can do this, please tag me @<user> or PM me. I would appreciate it!
Are you giving your users the correct permission nodes after adding the plugin? They seem to work for me..
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/simplesignedit/ - Works fine for us (editing and colors are separate via permissions)
Sorry, I am not using Essentials nor will I ever Anyways, I'll check our what you linked ryanclancy000
