A demonstration of the BBCode Buttons...

Patrick · August 8, 2002

I thought a demostration of the BBCode buttons (the buttons above the typing area when you reply and post ) do would be useful to some of you.

The "B" button is for bold, it produces:

KarateForums.com

The "i" button is for italic, it produces:

I love KarateForums.com!

The "u" button is for underlined text, it produces:

Don't we all?

The "Quote" button allows you to play text between two tags to be quoted, it produces:

Didn't I just say that?

The "Code" tag is relatively unused in this forum, but it produces to tags to put code (HTML, PHP, etc.) into.

<meta name="description" content="KarateForums.com is an active and moderated Martial Arts discussion community with many other unique features."></head><body bgcolor="#6e7580" text="#000000" link="#6e7580" vlink="#5493B4">

<link rel="top" href="index.php" title="" />
<link rel="search" href="search.php" title="" />
<link rel="help" href="faq.php" title="" />
<link rel="author" href="memberlist.php" title="" />

<title>KarateForums.com :: Post a new topic</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.karateforums.com/forums/templates/subSilver/subSilver.css" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
<!-- body {margin: 0} -->
</style>

The "list" button allows you to create a bulleted list. For more info, visit http://www.karateforums.com/forums/faq.php?mode=bbcode#7 - it produces:

Post
Reply
Repeat

The "img" tag allows you to hotlink to remotely hosted images. Example:

http://www.ifroggy.com/yankees.gif

The "URL" button allows you to create a link. Example:

http://www.karateforums.com

(However, you can just type a URL in and it will convert itself after posting. )

We also have font colors:

[color=darkred]Dark Red[/color]

[color=olive]Olive[/color]

[color=white]White[/color]

Just to name a few.

And font sizes.

[size=3]Tiny[/size]

[size=6]Large[/size]

And you can customize the font size by changing the number after the =.

Smilies are also considered BBCode, click on one and it will go into your message.

Finally, these codes can be used together to create more dynamic text formations, styles, etc.

Hope this helped one or two of you.

I have a question about the polls. How many options did you allow us to add. Once I tried to make a poll with like 15 options and it said that was too many. So then I looked up the faq and it said the administrator sets that max number of options. So what are the max number of options? (figured this might be a suitable place to ask it

)

Yeah, not a bad place.

Max poll options is currently 10.

You may want to change your sig color. It is a little bright.
