What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can use BBCode is determined by the administrator. You can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page. ~ taken from the faq on this site. So here is a simple guide to the most commonly used BB Codes available on this board and how to use them. Bold Text Code: [b]this will bold text[/b] this will bold text ___________________________________________________________________ Italic text Code: [i]this will make text italic[/i] this will make text italic ___________________________________________________________________ Underlining Text Code: [u]this will underline text[/u] this will underline text ___________________________________________________________________ If you want to post a section of text from another source, you can quote it. Quote with Source Code: [quote="Source Goes Here"]This is quoted text from somewhere else[/quote] Source Goes Here wrote: This is quoted text from somewhere else Quote without Source Code: [quote]This is quoted text from somewhere else[/quote] Quote: This is quoted text from somewhere else ___________________________________________________________________ If you would like to place an image in a post, use the IMG tags. To post an image, you need to host the image first. You can't just link to a picture on your computer. Use a site like imageshack.us or 250free.com or photobucket.com or other various online hosting sites. Code: [img]location of pic[/img] Example: Code: [img]http://www.merqurycity.com/ssx_forum/1.gif[/img]  ___________________________________________________________________ Posting links can be done one of two ways. 1. Just copy and paste the link when you post it. Example: http://www.merqurycity.com 2. Code: [url=http://www.merqurycity.com]Merqury City[/url] Merqury City ___________________________________________________________________ Strikethrough text Code: [s]strikethrough text[/s] ___________________________________________________________________ Spoiler Text, for when you want to post something but don't want to ruin the surprise for others. There are two ways to do it. 1. Code: [hide]This text is hidden until you click the link.[/hide]
2. Code: [hide=You can change the title link]This text is hidden until you click the link.[/hide]
___________________________________________________________________ Centering Text Code: [center]Bla Bla Bla Bla[/center] Bla Bla Bla Bla ___________________________________________________________________ The following codes are ONLY Available In Internet Explorer: Glow Code: [glow=blue]Glowing Text[/glow] [glow=blue]Glowing Text[/glow] Shadow Code: [shadow=lime]Text with a Shadow[/shadow] [shadow=lime]Text with a Shadow[/shadow] For these two codes, make sure you specify a color. That's a short list of the commonly used BB Codes. Hope this helps you along your way. |
