SMF is actually the same software this forum is running on, you can install it and run it using simple web server that support php and mysql on your own computer offline, so that you can try all the tutorial about BBCode you read somewhere, on your own SMF and make changes as you like, the SCEditor is just tools that can help you render whatever you write in realtime on the editor itself, if you change the color of the ascii code alt+219 like this █ the effect will immediately seen on the editor itself not like the default SMF preview editor we have here where you need to click on Preview button to see the effect, that way will help you quickly learn how to edit the pixel according to your design plan.

thanks. this worked. but the only challenge now is that the glow function seems not to be active on it. do i need to activate any special settings for it to be enabled?
