| Since, Most people are new to the forums, This Thread will guide you on how to use shortcuts, and quick commands on the forums. Hope you Enjoy Table of ContentsText Formatting- How to create Bold, Italic, Underlined and Striked text
- Spoiler:
BBCode includes tags to allow you to quickly change the basic style of your text. This is achieved in the following ways: - How to make it bold
- Code:
-
[b]Test[/b] Result: Test
- Code:
-
[i] Alpha[/i] Result: Alpha
- Code:
-
[u] Bravo[/u] Result: Bravo
- Code:
-
[strike] Charlie[/strike] Result: Charlie
- How to change text color or size
- Spoiler:
To alter the color or size of your text the following tags can be used. (Keep in mind that how the output appears will depend on the viewers browser and system): - To change your text color, you can specify a known color (ex: red, blue, yellow, etc.), or an hexadecimal color code (ex: #FFFFFF, #000000):
- Code:
-
[color=red]Red color (red)[/color] or [color=#FF0000]Red color (#FF0000)[/color]
Result: Red color (red) or Red color (#FF0000) - To change your text size, you must specify the text size in pixel, from 1 (so small you won't see it) to 29 (very huge):
- Code:
-
[size=9]SMALL[/size] or [size=24]HUGE[/size]
Result: SMALL or HUGE- To change the font, you must specify a recognized font (ex: Verdana, Arial) if the user hasn't got the font, a default one will be displayed :
- Code:
-
[font=Arial]Arial font[/font] or [font=Comic Sans Ms]Comic sans MS font[/font]
Result: Arial font or Comic sans MS font
- Can i combine formatting tags?
- Spoiler:
Yes, of course you can; for example to get someones attention you may write: - Code:
-
[size=18][color=red][b]LOOK AT ME ![/b][/color][/size]
Result: LOOK AT ME ! Although, we recommend you not to use much text as above ! Remember that it's your task to correctly shut the tags. The following example is incorrect: - Code:
-
[b][u]This is incorrect[/b][/u]
The correct form is : - Code:
-
[b][u]This is correct[/u][/b]
Quoting and outputting fixed-width text
- Quoting text in replies
- Spoiler:
There are two ways you can quote text: with a reference or without. The reference example, to quote a post wrote by Mr. Blobby, you must enter: - Code:
-
[quote="Mr. Blobby"]The text wrote by Mr. Blobby must be placed here[/quote]
Result : - Mr. Blobby wrote:
- The text wrote by Mr. Blobby must be placed here
Remember that you must include the quotation marks "" around the name you are quoting -- they are not optional.The second method allows you to blindly quote something. To use it : - Code:
-
[quote]Blind quote[/quote]
Result : [Quote] - Quote :
- Blind quote
- Outputting code or fixed width date
- Spoiler:
If you want to output a piece of code (HTML or other) or in fact anything that requires a fixed width with a Courier-type font, you must use the following BBCode : - Code:
-
[code]echo "This is some code";[/code]
Result : - Code:
-
echo "This is some code"; This is exactly what we use in this FAQ to show you all the BBCodes you can use.
Generating Lists
- Creating an Un-ordered list
- Spoiler:
An un-ordered list produces a list which entries are one underneath the others and indented with a bullet character. - To create an un-ordered list, use:
- Code:
-
[list][*]Red[*]Blue[*]Yellow[/list]
Result :
- Creating an ordered List
- Spoiler:
The second list type gives you the control on what will be displayed before each entry. To create an ordered list, you've got two possibilites : - Code:
-
[list=1][*]Do shopping[*]Buy a new computer[*]Yell to its computer when it crashes[/list]
Result : Do shopping
- Buy a new computer
- Yell to its computer when it crashes
An alphabetical list : - Code:
-
[list=a][*]First possible answer[*]Second possible answer[*]Third possible answer[/list]
Result : - First possible answer
- Second possible answer
- Third possible answer
Creating Links
- Linking to another website
- Spoiler:
The BBcode supports several methods to create links, most commonly known under URLs. - First method, to create for an example a link to google.com you must use :
- Code:
-
[url=http://www.google.com/] Visit google.com![/url]
Result : Visit google.com You'll notice that the link opens a new window, by this way the user can still browse the forums if he wants to. - Second method, if you want the link to display directly the URL :
- Code:
-
[url]http://www.googlecom[/url]
Result : http://www.googlecom - Third method, this forum owns a functionality called 'Magic Links', that will convert automatically an URL into a clickable link, without needing to insert a BBCode tag nor http://. For an example, by typing
- Code:
-
www.google.com
in your message, it will be automatically converted into a link : www.google.com
Showing images in posts
- Adding and Image to a Post
- Spoiler:
The BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and second, the image you display must already be available on the Internet (it cannot exist only on your computer, for example, unless you run a webserver!). You can upload for free your images on internet by an image hosting such as www.servimg.com (Forums account) To display an image, you need to proceed as following : - Code:
-
[url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=6&u=16650149][img]http://i45.servimg.com/u/f45/16/65/01/49/photo10.jpg[/img][/url]
Result:  You can place an image into a link if you wish (by insuring yourself that the opening and closure tags are correct), for an example : - Code:
-
[url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=7&u=16650149][img]http://i45.servimg.com/u/f45/16/65/01/49/funny-10.jpg[/img][/url]
Result: 
- Text Positioning
- Spoiler:
Three positions possibilities are proposed : - Code:
-
[left]text aligned to the left[/left]
Result : text aligned to the left - Code:
-
[center]Text centered[/center]
Result : Text centered - Code:
-
[right]Text aligned to the right[/right]
Result : Text aligned to the right

| I have a question, and I think its important. How come there is no option for Pink text? it may seem like a minor detail, But one of the things that define me is that I use the same font every where. QQ MSN AIM ect ect xD
Love Amplex :3
Also what times are Vuong on, I need to explain to him that I am his and links and that they shouldent fight over me o.e They make it seem like I'm property. D: | |

If we ever have free time from doing the important stuff, maybe we can look into it. For now though, just use the code that LeSpirit said, its not too much extra work. | |
