BBCode How-to, 67670 views

Because I know somebody will ask about this.



You may have noticed some new buttons at the top: B, i, u, etc. Here's an explanation of what they mean.



They're what's called BBCode - which is code that can be used on forums. It can style text, add images, and all sorts of cool things. Here's a quick rundown of the buttons:



B: Bolds the text. When you click it, make sure you type inside [ b ] and [ / b ] for it to work. (I had to type spaces in between so that I could show you).

i: Italicizes text. When you click it, make sure you type inside [ i ] and [ / i ] for it to work.

u: Underlines text. When you click it, make sure you type inside [ u ] and [ / u ] for it to work.

url: This creates a clickable web address. When you click it, make sure you type the address inside [ url ] and [ / url ] for it to work.

img: This will add an image to your post. Find the image you want, and copy and paste the address in between [ img ] and [ / img ]. To do this, right-click the image, go to Properties and copy the address in the 'Address (URL)' section. Other browsers just have a "Copy Image Location" option when you right-click.



So for example: [ img ] http://www.buddyicon.info/ikons/IKON758211cad04128c421d702e1c24e699e460e92179e.gif [ / img ] (without the spaces) would produce:







*Note: PLEASE DON'T ABUSE THIS! As in, please don't throw hundreds of images in one post. Think of the poor dial-up users!



There are some other options too, which aren't clickable yet:



Center your text



Use [ align=center ] [ / align ] (without spaces) to do this. Make sure you type what you want centered in between [ align=center ] and [ / align ].



Align text to the right



Use [ align=right ] [ / align ] (without spaces) to do this. Make sure you type what you want centered in between [ align=right ] and [ / align ].



Change font color:



Use [ color=your font color ] [ / color ] to do this. Obviously, replace "your font color" with the color font that you want. Make sure you type the text you want colored between [ color=your font color ] and [ / color ].



Change font size:



Use [ size=your font size ] [ / font ] to do this. Obviously, replace "your font size" with the size font that you want (use a number). Make sure you type the text you want bigger between [ size=your font size ] and [ / size ].



Change font:



Use [ font=your font ] [ / font ] to do this. Obviously, replace "your font" with the font that you want. Make sure you type the text you want a different font in between [ font=your font ] and [ / font ].



Have fun!

Don't worry, this forum isn't very active. When people are around, I'm sure they'll say hello.

Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out of body experience.
