BB Code size problem. Somebody help.

Hey, I've had a hellish time trying to figure out what HTML codes work in the forums and which don't. I can't get any kind of text color codes to work at all, although I see people with different colored text. Bold and Italic codes work, but break codes don't. I see people with all kinds of color and even different fonts in their signatures but I don't know how when any font commands I put in just show up in the forum without changing the font. Is there somewhere on the site that has a list of what works and what doesn't? Cause I sure can't figure this out to save my life, lol. Thansk in advance for anybody who can help.

WBW doesn't use HTML code, it used Bulliton Board, or BB code
--------------------------------------------------------------
Typing in different colors is easy. All you have to do is type
[.color=]text here[./color].

Remove the periods, and insert a color behind color=.

Here's a list of colors that work.

Black Navy Blue Green Teal Lime
Aqua Maroon Purple Olive Gray
Silver Red Fuchsia Yellow White

Here's another list of colors that are compatible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO TYPE ITALICIZEDTEXT
You can make any text italicized by typing [.i]text here [./i]

This was for demonstration purposes, for it to work, you have to remove the periods.

example
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO TYPE BOLD TEXT
You can make any text bold by typing [.b]bold text here [./b]

This was for demonstration purposes, for it to work, you have to remove the periods.

Example: bold text here


If you have any more questions, just PM and and I'll do my best to help.

WBW doesn't use HTML, it uses BBCode. There really isn't an all inclusive list anywhere on WBW that I've found, so here's a link to the codes. http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/faq.php?mode=bbcode

*Note: not all of the codes work on WBW.

awesome, thanks ya'll. Never heard of this BB code stuff before but I got it now. You guys kick much ass. Thanks again.

No problem.

Actually BB code and HTML are alot alike, the biggest difference it you use [][/] rather than <></>.

And i've noticed, that WBW's parser wants url tags in uppercase, URL.

one more question. I tried using the BB size code from that site but it's not working here. If you look at "HighGuy" his signature has big letters so it must be possible. Just wondering how this is done since the code doesn't work. Example THIS DON'T WORK

it only works up to5


1234

hell yeah, got the response from the guy I referenced. Ya'll are quick, thanks HighGuy.

No problem dude!

Actually, it works up to 6.
