Doing fancy things in the forums?

CragStar · 05-22-2001, 04:40 PM

Hi all,

I was wondering what things ppl actually do when it comes to adding bits of html and stuff when they post. All I can do is the smiley face

and thats about it. Does anybody know what vbCode they can add and what is [IMG]?

Somebody had what looked like a quote bit but which was titled code, which I thought was quite neat.

Any help here?

I always use the code tages when posting source code.

Code:

They preserve
   the indentations in
      your code

I also use the quote tages:

I guess IMG is to post images. But I think that Jeremy, our site admin, has both HTML and IMG disabled. Look at the bottom of your screen after Posts: you will see:

HTML code is OFF
Smilies are ON
Vb code is ON
IMG code is off

I use the code feature most often. The bulleted lists usuall put too much whitespace in the post.
