Click here to get started playing online
This will produce a hyperlink like this: Click here to get started playing online.
Note that once again, you need not include the http:// if the address begins www.
Email Links
To add a link to an email address, you can simply include the email address in your message like this:
myname@domain.dom
Note that there must be a blank space, such as a space or a carriage return before the beginning of the address.
You can also use BB Code tags to specify an email address, like this:
[email]myname@domain.dom[/email]
You can also add a true email hyperlink using the following format:
Click here to email me
This will produce a hyperlink like this: Click here to email me.
Bold, Underlined and Italic Text
You can make text bold, underlined or italicized by simply surrounding your text with tags as shown below:
- some text produces some text
- some text produces some text
- some text produces some text
Using Different Colors, Sizes and Fonts
You can alter the size, color and font of text using the following tags:
- some text produces some text (colored blue)
- some text produces some text (size 4 text)
- some text produces some text (using courier font)
You can also combine all the various text formatting tags. This example uses bold, underlined, purple text:
Wow there's lots of formatting here!
This example produces this:
Wow there's lots of formatting here!
Bullets and Lists
You can create bulleted or ordered lists in the following way:
Unordered, bulleted list:
* first bulleted item
* second bulleted item
This produces:
- first bulleted item
- second bulleted item
Note that you must remember to close the list with the [/list] tag.
If you would like to create a list ordered numerically or alphabetically, this is just as easy. You simply need to add a little extra code to your
and
tags. The extra code looks like =1 (for a numbered list) or =A (for a list from A to Z). Here are some examples:
[list=1]
[*]this is the first numbered item
[*]this is the second numbered item
[/list=1]
This produces:
- this is the first numbered item
- this is the second numbered item
|
[list=A]
[*]this is the first alphabetically ordered item
[*]this is the second alphabetically ordered item
[/list=A]
This produces:
- this is the first alphabetically ordered item
- this is the second alphabetically ordered item
|
Adding Images
To include a picture or graphic within the body of your message, you can simply surround the address of the image as shown here:
[i m g]http://www.gpforums.co.nzhttp://images.gpforums.co.nz/styles/gameplanet/title/main.gif
CODE
[/ i m g]
Note that the http:// part of the image URL is required for the [i m g] code.
You can even create a thumbnail-type hyperlink by surrounding your [i m g] code with a [url] code like this:
[url=http://www.gpforums.co.nzhttp://images.gpforums.co.nz/styles/gameplanet/title/main.gif][i m g]http://www.gpforums.co.nzhttp://images.gpforums.co.nz/styles/gameplanet/on.gif[/ i m g]
This produces a link like this: 
Note that the image files must be located on a web server on the Internet. You cannot link to image files that only exist on your hard drive. If you are not able to upload your image files to a web server (most ISPs provide customers with free web space that you can use for this purpose), you can use the Attachment feature when posting your message to upload the picture to the Forums. You don't need to use [i m g] code when posting an attachment.
Quoting Other Messages
To quote something that has already been posted, simply cut-and-paste the text you want to quote, and enclose it as follows:
QUOTE
No. Try not.
Do or do not, there is no try.
The [quote] tags will automatically indent the enclosed text.
The Code and PHP Tags
If you want to post some programming source code, or perhaps some ASCII art, which would require a non-proportional font, you can use the
CODE
tag to achieve this. For example:
[code]
In the example above, the text enclosed in the [code] tags would be automatically indented, and the spacing would be preserved like this:
A special case is for code written in the PHP language. If you are posting PHP code, you can enclose the source code in [php] tags, and the script will automatically have syntax highlighting applied:
[php]
$myvar = "Hello World!";
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
echo $myvar."\n";
}
[/php]
This would produce:
$myvar = "Hello World!";
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
echo $myvar."\n";
}
Incorrect BB Code Usage:
- " target="_blank"> www.vbulletin.com - don't put spaces between the bracketed code and the text you are applying the code to.
- [email]myname@domain.com[email] - the end brackets must include a forward slash ([/email])
