ROFL, IIRC, LOL, ect.ect.ect

[Annatar]

PCGiant seemed to notice this thread and made a ''all BG I & II related acronyms list''

That helps allot... but okay to finalize my ''help me in the Forum world''

How can I change the font of my text..? like what Xen does and Sir Exxon (yellow letters) and how I can get my text ''cursief'' that it is ''leaning'' (don't know the right word for it sorry )

and last but not least.. how can I make those little ''boxes'' and the beginning of a summary, something like this:

- Temple District

- Shadow Dragon

- Celestial Fury

But then how the ''pro's'' do it... like Dundee in his sticky thread..

I know it is allot of questions but plz can somebody explain .. ?

Thx Dundee, but I got some spare time this afternoon and scurried trough the IW forum and learned it myself.. [img]smile.gif[/img] (just looking at other people using UBB code's in there posts)

The only thing that I wasn't able to pull of where those boxes

• Ive got it I think now
• Just testing the second one..

and you are right about that this belongs in the GD forum but I was already asking people about those acronyms in this thread so I thought why not ask them about HyperText and color fonts ect.ect.
But thanks for the help Dundee... I appreciate it.

Annatar, just remember to close all of the tags you open, or they'll spill down into your sig and maybe even other people's posts.

[Annatar]

SoS, you mean that I should put <./.font.> in my post afterwards? so my sig does not get colored (see my previous post in this thread)

If that is not what you mean, then please explain, so I can prevent from doing any harm.. (already happend to me once that it was my fault that people couldn't post... IIRC it wasn't really my fault but something to do with a strange bug in the forum.. though is was my post )

As the internet is mostly made up of HTML, improper HTML coding can lead to funky errors. This UBB system is quite stable, but that does not mean we can ignore proper HTML coding protocols. One must ALWAYS, always close their HTML tags to prevent unnecessary troubling errors. I have seen threads get messed up because of bad HTML coding, and it is a PITA to repair the damage.

I usually close one eye when members slip up in here, because most of the time it was unintentional( although one member gives me grief consistantly, not you, Annatar), and it was easily corrected.

Dundee cannot always be here to correct your mistakes though, and I would hate to be forced to request for the disabling of HTML in this forum if the situation becomes chaotic( thankfully that is not the case now).

Every post made by a member can be edited by him/herself and it is only common sense to amend your post if it was not typed properly.

Does in english. Ask someone else in my humble opinion, as far as I'm concerned.
(forgot the comma but apart from that it was a joke)
Getting the english wrong
