One of the most frequently asked questions is how to use BBCode and HTML in your posts and signatures. Here is a basic guide to using them and all the cool things you can do with them.

______________

Making an orded list

Code: Select all

[list=1][*]Go to Best Buy[*]Buy a new computer[*]Throw computer out window when it crashes[/list]

Go to Best Buy
Buy a new computer
Throw computer out window when it crashes

OR

Code: Select all

[list=a][*]First possible choice[*]second possible choice[*]third possible choice[/list]

First possible choice
second possible choice
third possible choice

Image resize(HTML):
* the HTML image tag no longer works on BUS! this means that you must use the BBCode tag for all images (as shown above), now, and you can't use BBCode to resize images like you can with HTML. Sorry!

I added how to align things to the right, how to get more colors by using their number codes instead of their names, and I changed the section on HTML images, because this tag:

Code: Select all

<img>

no longer works on BUS, so it can't be used to post or change the size of images.

I have a favorite site that I use for HTML colors, and it's different than the one that's listed...you could add that if it would be something people are interested in.

Do we have a generator-thing where you type in your sentence, and two colours, and it makes it go gradually from one colour to the next?

*is feeling silly for asking*

ChaseThisLight · Post by **ChaseThisLight** » Sat Dec 29, 2007 12:27 am

No we don't. I don't believe it's a function that's available with this version of phpBB.

Oh, really? That's too bad.

I think I misunderstood...there isn't a way to type in a [] command to do it, but I guess if you go step by step through the gradient you can. Wow...without a generator that would be sloooooow!

Hey El, how did you get your text to go both ways? Its pretty and goes with your sig pic

Stripe · Post by **Stripe** » Thu Jan 03, 2008 5:54 pm

The way I did it when I had that style was to go from red to blue, remembering my start and finish colours, then from blue back to red...
