The Chaotic Codes

For those that are not too experienced in forum roleplay, this will teach you how to use coding in your posts to make them more presentable. When your looking around or posting in threads, you will come to notice people using fonts, colours, tables, images and videos of the sorts. These are all done by lovely codes that will eventually flock everyones threads.

To get some of these working, your gonna need a thread first so i'm just going to give you a sample and modify it to show you the different ways it could be molded. Just click the Spoilers to open them up.

Sample Post, no Coding involved

Spoiler:

Sample Post, Added some Bold and italics to show what is important

Spoiler:

Sample Post, Added some Colouring and Centered the text

So how do you use codes to make things like this? Its not hard at all seeing as the Site gives you access to nearly all of its codes whenever you post. Above the Text Field there will be a lot of silver boxes with icons littering the space underneath the topic title. To use them, Highlight part of the text that you are writing and click one of the boxes. This will add some bracketed text related to what you clicked around what you highlighted. Simple

Each one of these codes has a job which ill list here going from left to right:

• B
  Bold font
  
• I
  Italic font
  
• U
  Underline font
  
• S
  Strike-through font
  
• Left
  Shift text Left
  
• Center
  Shift text to the Center
  
• Right
  Shift text to the Right
  
• Justify
  Stretches all the text so it fits the sites width
  
• List
  Bullet points a list, will need to work a bit to use this
  
• Numbered List
  Puts numbered bullets
  
• Line Break
  Creates a line to section a post
  
• Quote
  Separate the text into a quote. Usually used for a past reference
  
• Code
  Disables codes within its boundaries so others can copy a template etc
  
• Table
  Creates a table around the highlighted text
  
• Host Image
  Upload an image from your HDD
  
• Image
  Insert an image via its URL
  
• URL
  causes a web address to become clickable
  
• Flash
  Embedded a flash program into the post
  
• Video
  Inserts a video from Youtube or Dailymotion to view within a post
  
• Size
  Alter the size of the text
  
• Color
  Alter the text color
  
• Font
  Alter the displayed font of the text
  

Things from there onwards are best left alone apart from maybe the Spoiler code which allows you to hide unwanted text unless it is clicked on like how i used it above.

[mod]Archaic guide evident from being about bbcode. With the modifications and so-on concerning the quick-post bbcode bar, it's also not 100% encompassing. Feel free to modify content and make new up-to-date post tho. [/mod]
