[Tips] Bulletin Board Codes(BB Codes)

[vphasitha01]

I was really amazed when i joined the Bitcointalk forum by considering how much that we can learn from a single forum about cryptocurrency rather just searching so many web pages through internet. Then i started to search and read the posts. Then i realized this is not just a search and read forum and we need to be interact with other peoples in order get maximum out of it. Then i had to faced the another problem "How do i posting a good post with BB Codes?" So i learned Basics about BB codes and i want to share it with you guys.Feel free to fill my voids from your valuable additions to make this post to become a complete guidance for BB code learners (I am more than happy to add your additions to my post)

I have found very good informative post made by
shahzadafzal regarding
"How to add YouTube videos to your post"

1. Get the Youtube video link e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2en3nHxA4 (Remember this id Gc2en3nHxA4)
2. There are 4 a default thumbnail images to each video the, URL to these images will be like

Code:

https://img.youtube.com/vi/<youtube-video-id>/0.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<youtube-video-id>/1.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<youtube-video-id>/2.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<youtube-video-id>/3.jpg

3. Now to add or embed youtube video, add img tag and replace Youtube Video id

Code:

[img]https://img.youtube.com/vi/Gc2en3nHxA4/0.jpg[/img]

4. Now add URL tag and point URL to actual youtube video

Code:

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2en3nHxA4][img]https://img.youtube.com/vi/Gc2en3nHxA4/0.jpg[/img][/url]

5. Final result, Youtube video, click to play

This is literally the 4rd post I have seen about BB Codes this month. Can we use the "search function" before creating a new thread?

And the worst part is that there is a whole page in the forum that explains all those codes: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbcref

Can we use the "search function" before creating a new thread?

I am using "search function" in daily,even bookmarked and I have clearly mentioned about it in my post

And the worst part is that there is a whole page in the forum that explains all those codes: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbcref

I have gone thoroughly that forum page before creating this thread and I couldn't found any details about how we can add hex color codes instead of inbuilt 14 colors in the Bulletin Board.I also added link to hex color code site too.

I have created this thread more user freindly way than the forum page that i already bookmarked and thanks for your thoughts which surely helps me for my next post
