Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that we've added a bunch of new bbcode formatting options to the forums. You can now change the color and font size of your text. You can also insert images into your posts, and make links active with the url tag. Here's a list of the bbcodes we currently support: Bold face: [b]Bolded text[/b] makes Bolded text Italic: [i]Italicized text[/i] makes Italicized text Underline: [u]Underlined text[/u] makes Underlined text Monospaced text: [code]Monospaced text[/code] makes Monospaced text Insert image: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Go-home.svg/100px-Go-home.svg.png[/img] makes ![]() Links: [url]http://www.google.com[/url] makes http://www.google.com and [url=http://www.google.com]takes you to Google[/url] makes takes you to Google Colored text: [color=red]Red[/color] makes Red, most standard color names will work. Hex color codes like color=#123456 are also supported. Font size: [size=big]Big text[/size] makes Big text. Options are small or big, or a number from 8 to 20 for the font size in pixels. IMPORTANT NOTE ON BBCODES We hope you will enjoy these new formatting features. However, we ask you to follow the following guidelines: URL links that are being used to promote other websites will be removed immediately. No advertising or self-promotion is allowed on the mingle2 forums, and posters who violate this rule will be suspended or banned. IMG links that link to controversial/disturbing/offensive images will also be removed immediately and the poster will be suspended or banned. No nudity, obscene gestures, suggestive photos, or images of illegal activities are allowed. Images must be PG-13, NOT rated R or X. We will be very strict on this policy, and violators will be treated harshly. Please use the new codes IN MODERATION. Users who abuse the new codes by using them excessively in an annoying posting style will be warned and could lose their privileges to use the codes or post on the forums at all. We'll be somewhat lenient on this, but we just don't want people abusing the codes to make very difficult to read/annoying posts. Please be polite in your use of the codes. Most of the new codes will work in your mail messages as well. However, the URL and IMG codes will NOT work in mail messages. This is because we are concerned that spammers and other bad users will abuse the codes, and that they will be more difficult for us to police in mail messages. The other new codes, like font size and color, will work fine. Thanks everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the site. |

But these new codes will at least give you some formatting options for now until we can get the text editor created. |

QUOTE: ![]() why don't my pictures work? Sorry Becca, they are case sensitive right now so you need to use lower-case. We will change them to make them case-insensitive shortly... |
