There are many little features with the vBB Software...
I will give you a few that should be interesting for you and everyone. In order to keep the action from initiating, I will have to place spaces within the quotes such as [ action ], but do not use the spaces when you actually want the action to take place...
If you are wishing to make LARGE TEXT, then you can use the:
[ size=5 ]EXAMPLE[ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
Now if you wish for smaller text, you can do the following:
[ size=1 ]EXAMPLE[ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
The number 5 produces LARGE TEXT and the number 1 produces SMALLER TEST. You can use 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
[ size=5 ]EXAMPLE[ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
[ size=4 ]EXAMPLE[ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
[ size=3 ]EXAMPLE[ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
[ size=2 ]EXAMPLE[ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
[ size=1 ]EXAMPLE[ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
If you wish for this to be BOLD, then you could add this tag:
[ size=5 ] [ b ]EXAMPLE[ /b ][ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
Now, to change the color of this text, you can use this:
[ size=5 ][ b ][ color=blue ]EXAMPLE[ /color ][ /b ][ /size ]
This will produce EXAMPLE
Now, to display and image (which you will need your image stored somewhere with the url available to direct the img tag to find, you will need to do this (I will use my FRA Badge as an example)...
[ img ]http://www.bounty-one.com/Graphics/fra-badge.jpg[ /img ]
This will produce:
PLEASE NOTE: There are many websites where you can obtain FREE Space for storing images. In this instance, you would have the link as:
[ img ]www.yourwebsite.com/Images/yourimage.xxx[ /img ]
The links that many Members here (and are already pretty well familiar with are very easy...
vBB Software has a procedure that it does automatically down below the posting area and which is normally checked automatically. It is called:
[ ] Automatically parse URLs
You can just type the url using the http://www.ipiu.org and it will automatically link that URL...
or you can just do the following:
[ url ]http://ipiu.org[ /url ]
This will produce:
http://www.ipiu.org
Now, instead of showing the actual URL, you can hide the URL and set as follows:
[ url=http://www.ipiu.org ]CLICK HERE[ /url ]
This will produce the following:
CLICK HERE
and again, if you wish to bold the CLICK HERE, you can add the following:
[ url=http://www.ipiu.org ][ b ]CLICK HERE[ /b ][ /url ]
Now, this will produce the following:
CLICK HERE
And again if you wish to color the text CLICK HERE, you can do the following:
[ url=http://www.ipiu.org ][ b ][ color=red ]CLICK HERE[ /color ][ /b ][ /url ]
Now, this will produce the following:
CLICK HERE
That's all I'll do as it is late...
I will try to add more later...
