Forum Tips

Have you ever noticed cool tricks in forum posts that you never knew how to do? This is a guide to all things forums, from item codes to fonts to linking!

Here is everything covered in this guide. If you don't know what any of these words are, stick around and read the whole guide. I tried not to make it too wordy.

Bold, underline, italic and skrikethrough
Right, left and center
Posting images
Making lists
Quotes and Codes
Linking
Color, font and size of text
Item codes and skins

[size=5]First off, these are the basics.[/size] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_bold.png[/img] Click this, and this will show up: [code][b] [/b][/code] Then put what you want to be bold like this: [code] [b]words[/b] [/code] Which makes it look like this: [b]words[/b] Whatever text you put inbetween those brackets becomes bolded. Represented by a "b" at the top of the text box. Same for these: [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_italic.png[/img] Italic looks like [i]this[/i] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_bold.png[/img] Bold looks like [b]this[/b] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_underline.png[/img] Underlining looks like [u]this[/u] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_strike.png[/img] Strikethrough looks like [s]this[/s] Or just do all 4 [u][b][i][s]like this[/s][/i][/b][/u]

Text Alignment

This is how to make text centered, to the left, or to the right. This one works the exact same as above, so go to that one for this. Basically it's the same way. But I will show some examples. Here's what all of them look like.

Regular text just goes across the page all the way in a line, then continues. It looks normal, and isn't aligned at all.

[size=5] Adding Images[/size] This is how to add cool pictures in your posts. Copy the URL of the image you want to post. Then click the image of a small pine tree and paste it in the box that pops up. Click okay, and your image will be there! This is what it should look like. Brackets with the letters img for image will be before and after the link. [code][img]http://www.auplod.com/u/duloap850c4.png[/img] [/code] It will look like this when you use it! [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/1951271] [img]http://www.auplod.com/u/duloap850c4.png[/img] [/url] PS. Feel free to click on that banner! It's a link that will take you to my Flight Rising grab bags thread!

[size=5]Creating Lists[/size] This is how to add lists in your posts without manually typing them! There are two types of lists, ones with bullets and ones with numbers. This is the buttons to press for each. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_olist.gif[/img] This one is for numbered lists. [code]It looks like this when you click it: [LIST=1] [*] [/LIST][/code] See this thing: [*] Each of those is one bullet/number in your list. [LIST=1] [*] Add more of them for longer lists [*] Add more of them for longer lists [*] Add more of them for longer lists [*] Make whatever you want! [/LIST] Here's an example of the other type of list! [LIST] [*] Bullet 1 [*] Bullet 2 [*] Bullet 3 [*] The list goes on and on! [/LIST]

[size=5] Quotes and Codes [/size] This is how to quote or put codes in posts. Say you want to copy the words of an entire post exactly. Instead of copy pasting it, use the quotes! This is a quote box. [quote] Write some stuff! [/quote] You can type stuff inside them. To copy some one's exact post, simply click Quote at the top of the post you wanna quote. Codes are almost exactly the same. In codes, it makes all forum and BBCode bracket things show up. It's hard to explain. [quote] In a quote, you can use BBCode. [b] See?[/b] [/quote] [code] In codes, BBCode doesn't work. It just shows up like this: [b] It's not turning bold! [/b] The font is also slightly different and they go length-wise with a scroll.[/code]

[size=5]Links and URL[/size] This is how to add links and URL to your post! To make a clickable link (a clickable link means it takes you to a site when you click it) you press this button! [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_link.gif[/img] Then you paste the URL you want into the box that pops up. [code][url]http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=255370[/url][/code] It looks like that. In your post, a clickable URL appears and takes you to the website! This one leads to my clan info! http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=255370 To make a word clickable, use this form: [code][url= (put url here)](then add what words you want here)[/url] [/code] It makes it look like this: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=255370] Clickable Word![/url] Click that for my clan info! To make images clickable, view the images one first. Then read this part. Basically the same as the words one, but instead, put this where the words go: [code][img](put picture's link here)[/img][/code] The result? [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=255370][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/250488/25048723p.png[/img][/url] That also leads to my clan info. And it's a picture of my avatar.

[size=5] Color, Font and Size[/size] This is how to change your word's font, color, and size! Color See in the beginning where I used yellow font? To do that, use this: [code] [color=(put your favorite color)](put the words here)[/color] [/code] The result? [color=turquoise]Every color of the rainbow! Includes black, white, grey, silver, pink, purple, aqua, violet, gold, and more![/color] Size Size is just like color! Use this form: [code] [size=(7 or less)] (words) [/size] [/code] The result is [size=6] HUGE WORDS![/size] and [size=1] Little words![/size] Font Fonts work pretty similar. Use the same exact form as above, except with font instead of size, and with the font name instead of a number! [size=5] [font=papyrus]This was the fist font that came to mind! Enlarged to show detail better! You're awesome if you know what font I used! [/font] [/size]

[size=5] Item Codes and Skins[/size] Item codes are really cool! You can use them to put Flight Rising items in your posts! Items like familiars, apparel, materials, battle stones, chests and vistas are a few items that are way better with item codes! Use this form to add item codes: [code] Item=*] Put the item name in for the star (*) [/code] This is the result! A couple examples. I had too much fun! [item=Boolean] [item=Vista: Rainsong Jungle] [item=Prismatic wing silks] [item=Eliminate] [item=Gilded decorative chest] Skins and Accents Skins and Accents are pretty neat drawings you can apply to your dragon to change their look, similar to apparel. Unlike apparel, skins and accents only work on one breed and gender of dragon. If you put a Mirror female skin on a Mirror male, the art would not line up with the male's silhouette. Skins and accents can be created by other users like you, found in coliseum and traded by Swipp, or bought with treasure during a festival. Skins and accents are the same thing, except accents cover 30% or less of the surface of the dragon, and skins cover up significantly more, if not all of the dragon. Putting skin previews in your posts is just like item codes. Type this in your post, then add the name of the skin. You will be able to preview it just like apparel, but it only works on the dragons in your lair with that breed and gender. [code] [skin=(put skin's number code here)] [/code] If you have a skin, click it, and it displays a number. That's its code. It appears like this (I just typed some random number combinations) [skin=8924] [skin=7009] [skin=6672] [skin=5733] --------------------------- [size=7] Still have questions? @ me and I will try to answer it as soon as possible!
