How to change the text color or sizeTo alter the color or size of your text the following tags can be used. Keep in mind that how the output appears will depend on the viewers browser and system:
Changing the colour of text is achieved by wrapping it in
. You can specify either a recognised color name (eg. red, blue, yellow, etc.) or the hexadecimal triplet alternative, eg. #FFFFFF, #000000. For example, to create red text you could use: the name or number in the instructions. either way, they come out the same.
[color=Red]Hello![/color]or
[color=#FF0000]Hello![/color]they both give you
Hello!Changing the text size is achieved in a similar way using
. This tag is dependent on the template you are using but the recommended format is a numerical value representing the text size in pixels, starting at 1 (so tiny you will not see it) through to 29 (very large). For example:
[size=9]SMALL[/size]will generally be
SMALLwhereas:
[size=12]HUGE![/size]will be
HUGE!you can also combine forming tags*thatd be the things I'm showing you* to get someones attention. For example, you may write:
[size=18][color=red][b]You friggin' moron![/b][/color][/size]this would output
You friggin' moron!I don't recommend you output lots of text that looks like this, though! *unless you feel like getting your point across
* And you can also use this to put multiple colors in your post.
Of course,
these kinds of sentences take a little while to make,
so only use when absolutely necessary.
And also,
there are a lot more to choose from than the ones in the color list, so just use your imagination and let your creativity run free and experiment with all the different color names to see what suits you.(in case you were wondering, the colors i used *in order* were

Does all your dirty work for you, and saves you from catchin' Carpal Tunnel tryin' to make that kind of text :XD
Remember that it is up to you, to make sure that tags are closed the right way. For example, the following would be wrong:
[color=indigo][b][u]This is wrong[/b][/color][/u]

Quoting text in repliesThere are two ways you can quote text: with a reference or without.
When you utilise the Quote function to reply to a post on the board you should notice that the post text is added to the message window enclosed in a quote block, which looks like this:
[quote][/quote] This method allows you to quote with a reference to a person or whatever else you choose to put. For example, to quote a piece of text Mr. nOOb wrote, you would enter:
[quote="Mr. nOOb"]The text Mr. nOOb wrote would go here[/quote]The resulting output will automatically add: Mr. nOOb wrote: before the actual text. Remember that you must include the quotation marks "" around the name you are quoting -- they ain't optional.
The second method allows you to blindly quote something(a quote with no name attached). To utilise this enclose the text in quote tags with no name.
And another thing, to solve the problem of usernames with brackets, simply add this sequence to solve the problem.
* And you can also use this to put multiple colors in your post.
