 But anyway back to the subject at hand. I thought that I would post this to help out those of you who seem to be having some trouble w/ your font, size, & color choices etc. Here is a simple screenshot pointing out how you can get to the BB Code Help. Before you know it you will be able to do it from memory.  Click thumbnail image below to enlarge  Once you get the hang of the BB Color Code. You may want to expand your color horizon of the BB Code. This link will take you to a complete HTML True Color Chart. Complete HTML True Color Chart Tip: When applying the basic BB Color Code, available when posting on Bleeping Computer. It will look like this. CODE [COLOR=green]Hello[/COLOR] Hello When using the many choices within the Complete HTML Color Chart. It will look like this. Instead of applying the name of the color as part of the code. Insert the numeric color code. CODE [color=#336633]Hello[/color] Hello When choosing a specific font, It will look like this. CODE [font=comic sans ms]Hello[/font] hello When you want to choose a specific size for your text. This is the BB Code to use. CODE [size=3]Hello[/size] Hello Now for creating bold text. Use this code when doing so. CODE [b]Hello[/b] Hello For italic text. Use this code. CODE [i]Hello[/i] Hello And last but not least. The code to underline text. CODE [u]Hello[/u] Hello Now let's use all the BB Code together. CODE [color=green][font=comic sans ms][size=4][b][i][u]This is how it will look prior to posting.[/u][/i][/b][/size][/font][/color] This would be the outcome of applying all of the above code. Note: When someone states that "tags" are not closed. They are speaking of using the full and correct BB Code. One other thing I'd like to mention is how to post a hyperlink/URL. Hyperlink code: CODE [url=http://www.bleepingcomputer.com]Bleeping Computer.com[/url] Bleeping Computer.com You can use the BB Code in this also. CODE [url=http://www.bleepingcomputer.com][b][color=green]Bleeping Computer.com[/color][/b][/url] Bleeping Computer.com   A quick and easy way to apply BB Code in your posts. Type text and then use your cursor to highlight text, you would like to enhance using BB Code. Next click on one of the BB Code icons on text editor tool bar. This will automatically add the BB Code tags to your text. BB Code tool bar options Font - Text font choices Size - Text size choices B - Bold text - B I - Italic text - I U with line underneath - Underlined text - U S with line through it - marked out text - A - Font color - A Globe - Link - link Tree image - Image - Image Text balloon image - Quoted text - QUOTE Quote Numeric symbol image - Coded text - CODE code A post preview will show the results. This can be done with any or all of the BB Code options available on the text editor tool bar. Easy breezy. This post has been edited by Scarlett: Feb 7 2007, 09:55 AM --------------------  |

 Great post Scarlett!! I am pinning this baby! As a further note, bbcodes are simply codes that you can put in your message that allows you to change the formatting of the text. You can do underlines, change font sizes, change colors, and other fun things. Almost all codes require you to do a starting code, that starts the effect, and then to end the formatting by doing a corresponding end code. Here is an example of bolding some text: CODE [b]This text will be bold[/b] Notice how we have a beginning code to start the formatting and a corresponding end code to end it. When we add that text to a message it would look like this: This text will be bold There is no reason you can not use multiple codes in one shot. Just remember they must all have ending tags. For example to underline a red font with bold we would type this: CODE [u][color=red][b]This is an underlined bolded red font [/b][/color][/u] Which would look like this: This is an underlined bolded red font Hope this clears up some confusion. -------------------- Lawrence

What is the code for background color? This is really useful for posting spoilers.

That is a tricky question, because most people do not know that in each message the background color can differ slightly.
Now if only there was a transparent color that you could put the text on...  Free free to try it out in the scribbles thread

Sort of a rehash of whats been posted:
Using BB code: use [ ] instead of ( ) Opening tag (B) Closing tag (/B) (You must use "closing tags" on everything: (/B), (/I), (/FONT), etc...) Using (B)Hello(/B) will give you: Hello Using (I)Hello(/I) will give you: Hello Using (U)Hello(/U) will give you: Hello Using Font / Times will give you: (FONT=Times)Hello(/FONT), which will post as: Hello Clicking Size / Large will show as: (SIZE=7)Hello(/SIZE), and will post as: Hello I think this board can accept as high as size 7, and as low as size 4. Size=7 Hello Size=6 Hello Size=5 Hello Size=4 Hello Using Color / Green will give you: (COLOR=green)Hello(/COLOR), which will post as: Hello Note: When it comes to color, you're not limited to the basics; red, blue, green, etc... HTML codes for colors, will work. Just replace "green" with the color of your choice. You can copy/paste the color name (YellowGreen), or the color code (#9ACD32), in place of "green". This: (COLOR=YellowGreen)Hello(/COLOR) Or this: (COLOR=#9ACD32)Hello(/COLOR) (Don't forget the "#" sign, in front of the color code number.) Would give you this: Hello Here are a couple of links to HTML color code sites: HYPE's Color Specifier htmlgoodies.com Complete HTML True Color Chart Using (URL=http://www.bleepingcomputer.com)BleepingComputer(/URL) will give you: BleepingComputer You can also combine your codes. For example: (URL=http://www.bleepingcomputer.com)(B)(SIZE=6)(COLOR=#8B0000)BleepingComputer(/COLOR)(/SIZE)(/B)(/URL) will give you: BleepingComputer This post has been edited by tg1911: Jul 17 2006, 12:04 AM -------------------- I love being married.

Great Info-- Re instructs re tags!!!
Can you not use the" close all tags" instead of closing each tag seperately?

Yes. But I seem do it manually more so than the other. It is such a habit now.
Which works well in "Fast Reply"

Our pleasure is helping, kurokotoq.
I simply enjoy typing with bbcodes. Font face changes come natural to me now. I just type bracket b bracket your name bracket forward-slash b bracket as a matter of habit. Now. I couldn't say that six months ago.  HAVE FUN WITH US HERE bracket c-o-l-o-r = red bracket bracket forward-slash c-o-l-o-r bracket cursor placed in between the back to back brackets and HAVE FUN WITH US go back to the start and add bracket c-o-l-o-r = g-r-a-y bracket cursor I-bar to the end of the line & yup, bracket forward-slash c-o-l-o-r bracket well, sometimes I use the wrong-way facing brackets.  So, I use the Preview button to check my post first, then I Add Reply. A little slower at first, but still... practice improves it.
