Bold/Italics/Underline
You can use the BB codes to change your profile, add images, make things bold etc.. These things can be done with BB codes, a modified form of html. A list with the codes are below. Those aren't all of the BB codes, these are the most used in
text gives bold text e.g. text
text gives italic text e.g. text
text gives underlined text e.g. text
text gives struck through text e.g. text
text gives superscript text e.g. text
text gives subscript text e.g. text
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gives a horizontal line. e.g.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving Horizontal Lines
[movinghr=1] gives a moving horizontal line. e.g.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Centering / Align Right / Align Left

How to show the vieweing players name in your profile
[viewing] will show the name of the person viewing the page. This can only be used at your profile, not at the forums.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quotes
To reference something specific that someone has posted, just cut and paste the text and enclose it as shown below
In the example above, the UBB codes automatically blockquotes the text you reference to give this appearance:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ask not what your country can do for you....
ask what you can do for your country.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quotes can be nested within one another. There is also a shaded version of quoting:
[qs]Ask not what your country can do for you....
ask what you can do for your country.[/qs]
This example yields this appearance:
Ask not what your country can do for you....
ask what you can do for your country.
And you can optionally provide the name of the person being quoted:
[qs=John F. Kennedy]Ask not what your country can do for you....
ask what you can do for your country.[/qs]
Which would look like this:
John F. Kennedy writes:
Ask not what your country can do for you....
ask what you can do for your country.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Font/Text Color / Text Size
You can make text in any font, color or size by using the [face], and tags.
[face=monotype corsiva]This text should display using the Monotype Corsiva font with a size of 4 and green in color.[/face]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Text Background Color
You can change the background color of the text to any color you like using the [bgcolor] tag.
[bgcolor=lightgreen]The text in this paragraph should be black with a lightgreen background color.[/bgcolor]
The [bgcolor] UBB code only changes the background of text. Wherever text doesn't appear the original background color is still present. The [blockcolor] UBB code changes the background color of a rectangular block.
[blockcolor=lightgreen] The text of these two paragraphs should be black with a lightgreen background color.
The green background should fill the entire rectangular area behind all text and images.
[/blockcolor]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bullet Lists
You can make bulleted lists or ordered lists (by number or letter).
Unordered, bulleted list:
This produces:
This is the first bulleted item.
This is the second bulleted item.
Note that you must include a closing [/list] when you end each list.
Making ordered lists is just as easy. Just add either
This produces:
This is the first bulleted item.
This is the second bulleted item.
