My Guide to All the BB Codes V1.1

Discussion in 'Strategy' started by _MooCow, Dec 20, 2011.

  1. Hi, this is a New and Improved guide that will tell you all the BB codes and how to do them! :D

    Note!
    -BB code work in forums and only forums.

    -This guide was made on my iDevice (iPod) for other iDevices (iPhones, iPads and iPods.)

    -I'd just like to say this is Version 1.1, my second version. I'm always trying to improve this guide. I'm open to suggestions if you'd like to help me :D

    BB codes can make you text look pretty cool if you master them. But failing a BB code could make you look like a pretty bad noob.

     Section 1. Color 
    Color's are probably the most used BB code on forums, therefore you should probably know how to do them. To do colors, do EXACTLY this:

    [color=red[size=1].[/size]] Insert Desired text here [/color]

    Of course the text will come up In red when you do it. Red is not the only color you can use, in fact, there is 150 different colors you can use. Here is a list of all of them:

     Section 2. Size 
    Sizes are probably the second most used BB code, so again, it's probably a good thing to learn how to do it.

    Note!
    -Sizes reach a maximum of 200. Anything over 200 will NOT work.

    - Size 20 is the smallest size that is readable, though you can still use sizes below that.

    -For the sizes to work, remember to take out the asterisk (*)

    To do sizes, do this:

    [size=200*] text here [/size]
    Remember! Take the asterisk (*) out for it to work!

    Size 200 is largest, size 20 is the smallest (that's readable), size 100 is normal size.

    Examples:
    1. Text = Size 20

    2. Text = Size 50

    3. Text = Size 100 (Normal Size)

    4. Text = Size 150

    5. Text = Size 200


     Section 3. Bold, Underline, Italics, and code 

    Bold, Underline, Italics and Code are not used as often as size and color, though they are still cool.

    Bold: Example of bold text
    How to do bold:

    [b*] Insert text here. [/b*]


    Underline: Example of underline text
    How to do Underline:

    [u*] Insert text here. [/u*]


    Italics: Example of italic text
    How to do Italic:

    [i*] Insert text here. [/i*]


    Code:
    Code:
     Example of code text 
    How to do code:

    [code*] Insert text here. [/code*]

    Note!
    -You have to take the asterisk (*) out for it to work!


    Section 4. Quotes: 

    Quotes, again aren't the most used BB code but I assure you that you'll use them atleast once. There are two different types of quotes: Personal Quotes, and Quote boxes.

    Quote Boxes:
    Quote boxes can just be 1 box:
    Or 2:

    Or 3:

    To do a Quote Box:

    [quote*] Desired text here. [/quote*]


    To do 2 Quote Boxes:

    [quote*] Desired text here. [quote*] More Desired text here. [/quote*][/quote*]


    To do 3 Quote Boxes:

    [quote*] Desired Text here. [quote*] More Desired text here. [quote*] Even More Desired text here. [/quote*][/quote*][/quote*]


    Note!
    -You MUST take the asterisk (*) out for it to work!


    Personal Quotes:
    Personal Quotes are to show what a certain person said or wrote.

    Example of a Personal Quote:
    To do a Personal Quote, you do this:

    [*quote="Persons Name"] Insert Desired Text Here. [/quote*]

    Note!
    -You must take the asterisk (*) out for it to work! You surely know that by now right?

    -You also MUST have the quotation marks (" and ") around the name for it to work!


    Section 5. Rainbows! 
    Everybody loves rainbowwwwwws! So let's make rainbow text! Rainbow text is pretty awesome, it makes your writing look very colorful. So here's what you have to do make rainbow text:

    1. Click on This link.

    2. Select the "Rainbow" option.
    [​IMG]

    3. Enter the text that you what to be rainbowfied in the "Your Text" box.
    [​IMG]

    4. Click "Generate Code".
    [​IMG]

    5. Copy the "Output Text" [​IMG]

    6. Paste on forum's and you'll have rainbowfied text! :D
    [​IMG]

    This is a example of what rainbow text looks like. Pretty cool hey?


     Section 6. Lists
    Lists, the hardest and most annoying BB code ever. I never really use lists, though they still look good.

    • Make points
    • Clear and good looking
    • But they're hard to make

    As you can see, they look nice but are hard to make.

    How to make a list:

    [list) [*] Make your point here [*] Make your second point here [*] Make your third point here [/list)

    For it to work, change the )'s to a ]

    You can make you lists as long as you want. You can also have different types of lists like:

    [*list] = A bullet point list.
    • Example of
    • A bullet
    • Point list!

    [*list=1] = A number list.
    1. Example of
    2. A number
    3. List!

    [*list=i] = A Roman Numeral list.
    • Example of
    • A Roman
    • Numeral list!

    [*list=a] = A letter list.
    • Example of
    • A letter
    • List!

    Note!
    -If you're using those different types of lists, you have to take out the asterisk (*) before the word for it to work!

     Section 7. Pictures 

    There is two different ways you can put pictures on forums:

    Option 1:

    1. Download Photobucket, a free app on App-Store
    2. Set up an account
    3. Upload a picture from you iPod/iPhone/iPad
    4. Go on albums
    5. Select desired picture
    6. Click the (i) button in the bottom right
    7. Copy the very bottom code (IMG Code)
    8. Paste on desired forum and TaDa, your picture is on the forum.

    Resizing Images
    When pictures are posted they are wayyyyyy to big! To make them a good size, follow these steps:

    1. Go to PhotoBucket
    2. Go into the settings in PhotoBucket.
    3. Select "Upload" then click on the "Image Size" box.
    4. Select 320x320.

      WaLa! Now your pictures are a good size!

      Option 2:
      1. Google or Safari search the picture.
      2. Once you've found that picture, copy the link it's tagged under.
      3. Once you have the link, go to forums and do this:

        [i]Paste Picture Link Here[/i] [/img) [/list]

        [size=5][color=red] Note! [/size][/color]

        -If your doing Option 2, change the last ) to a ] for it to work.

        -Remember to keep all pictures ToU appropriate!


        [size=7]  Section 8. URL's and Links  [/size]
        Many things can be linked to show on forums, for example I linked the rainbow website. I'll show you how to do URL's and Links:

        [url=[i]URL or website link here [/i]] text you want to be linked[/url]

        Remember to keep all links in ToU appropriate! The ToU can be found [url=http://media.partyinmydorm.com/faq/iphone/tos.html]here[/url]

        [size=5][color=red] Note! [/size][/color]
        -You may want to keep in mind that only [color=red] Moderators [/color] and [color=red] Developers [/color] can link Threads and Thread Pages.

        [size=7]Section 9. Forum Emoji's and Emoji's [/size]

        Section 10. Combinations
        Did you know you can chime BB Codes? Well you sure can! You may have noticed that when I do my Notes! I'm using color and size. I'll show you how to do that:

        Note: For this example I'm using the color aqua and size 200. I'd just like to note that you can use all BB Codes, all sizes, all colors, bold, italics, underline, code, lists, quotes, well ALL OF THEM!

        To do Combinations with color and size do this:

        Desired Text Here. [/size*][/color*]

        Your text should look like this:
        Combinationsssss!

        Note!
        -When doing combinations you still have to take the asterisk (*) out!

        -When you do combinations remember to start and finish both BB Codes your using.

        End of guide!
