How to use the forum like an inteligent being.

[LoneSoldier55]

There are several things in BB code that makes your post more consice and emphsized. Example: (Replace all parenthesese in example text with brackets [ ])
(b)Bold Text (/b) translates to: Bold Text
(i)Italic Text (/i) translates to: Italic Text
(u)Underlined text(/u) translates to: Underlined text
(b)(i)(u)Bold Italic Underline(/b)(/i)(/u) translates to Bold Italic Underline

A few others:

(quote="LoneSoldier55") I AM A TROLL(/quote) translates to:

I AM A TROLL

(code) Super secret awesome code (/code) translates to:

Code: Select all

 Super secret awesome code 

List is an interesting function, and will only work if it detects a (*) somewhere in the list.
Therefore,
(list)
(*)Item 1
(*)Item 2
(*)Item 3
(*)Item 4
(/list)

Translates to:

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
• Item 4

Of course, My favorite one is the image tag.
(img)Link that directly shows only the image on the page(/img)
Translates to:


(url)A link(/url) Translates to: http://www.hurr-durr.com

Then there's font size and color. These are tricky bastards to manipulate, and the size isn't in points either. Normal users are allowed up to a 150 font size.
So:
(size=50)Small(/size)
(size=75)Normal(/size)
(size=100)Large(/size)
(size=150)Troll Format(/size)
Translates to:
Small
Normal
Large
Troll Format

Colors are a difficult thing to manupulate, as you have to have the hexedecimal value of the color. The color is in the format of #RRGGBB, where Red, Green, And blue are specified by two values, 0-9, A-F. The color is then mixed together to produce the color the text will be. F corrisponds to a full value, while 0 corrisponds to none. #010000 is a very small amount of red, while #100000 is larger amount of red. Think of the first value as the 10's place of the value, where A-F can be classified as 11-16. You'll notice that if you do 16^2, it equals 256-1 = 255. Normally, colors can be from 0-255 in value so that's why hexideciaml makes some senses a little.
(color=#FF0000)Red(/color)
(color=#00FF00)Green(/color)
(color=#0000FF)Blue(/color)
(color=#FF00FF)Purple(/color)
(color=#000000)Black(/color)
(color=#FFFFFF)White(/color)
Turns into:
Red
Green
Blue
Purple
Black
White

That is all.

bringing forum trolling to a new level

[RevStoningpot]

or you can just do all that with the handy buttons on top of the post window. But i don't know about the url one, you can just write the link solo and it will autolink.

[LoneSoldier55]

Exactaly, I know about the buttons, I used them as a template. Some of the functions on them are just not clear or they can't be fully manupulated from just those buttons.
