★ [Guide] Using BBCode to customize your profile!

[beca]

I've literally just figured out how to do this, and it seems a lot of you guys were having trouble with it too -- so, tada, a guide!

Our profile layouts use what we call BBCode. If you've tried using it before to no avail, perhaps it was because you used quotes with your code, like I was doing...darn HTML xD

Anyway, read away!

★ 1. Text adjustments

Size

Ever wanted to make your text a specific size? You'll need to use this code:

[size=1]text[/size] 

Result:

Color

This is a lovely code which will allow you to change the colors of the text in your profile. You can use regular words such as red, green, blue etc, OR you can use hex codes. If you're unsure what hex codes are, feel free to drop me a message =]

[color=red]text[/color] 

Result:

Bold, Italic, Underline

A set of extremely simple codes -- and they make such a difference to your profile!

[b]text[/b]
[i]text[/i]
[u]text[/u] 

Result:

★ 2. Alignments

Center, Right, Left

These codes will align your text to the center, right, or left -- it can really help organize and tidy up your profile ^_^
* This code was being temperamental, so simply remove the # when you use it =]

[center#]text[/center#]
[right]text[/right]
[left]text[/left] 

Result:

★ 3. Links

To add a link to your profile, simply add the following. The url is the website address, in case you didn't know.

[url=url goes here]text[/url] 

Result:




Unfortunately, the code to add images doesn't seem to be working ;___;
I hope this guide was of use to you! I'll tidy up the images sometime too. xD

There's a myriad of other codes you can use, but hopefully this covers the basics x) be sure to experiment if you have the time!

Use PHP instead of [ code ] [ /code ]

Like this:

[b]Works just fine[/b] 

Isn't there already an in-depth profile design guide in FAQ, though?

Thanks for that! @_@

& , I don't think so. Only one that helps you change your background and module colours etc :x

Added the PHP format and removed a few small errors xD
The center code is still temperamental though, so I had to add a # in there >_>
