Thank you for your post. It's posts like yours that's making the learning curve a bit more pleasant.

Thank you for your post. It's posts like yours that's making the learning curve a bit more pleasant.

Yes, I know what you mean.

I've been around since the 56k modem age.
and when I tried to use this forum to post few things, I knew a bit about them but I couldn't remember most of them.
so I made this to make it bit easier to find as it's a bit hard to find on the internet nowadays.


Anyone who wants to add please do so and I will add it to the post

[sung129]

But newbies will use the buttons in post editor.

yes of course but if you have to use resize within the img you would need to edit a bit.

and plus there is no set instruction on how to add hyperlinked text nor there is one for a hyperlinked picture and bit more.

[vilello]

Why do not we make it easier? it's hard for someone which new in this forum. Do you think that a system like this needs to be changed?

[HabBear]

Wow, what a great post! Thank you!

I've noticed that some of your example usage items don't appear to provide the effect you are trying to create. Examples where your example usage might not be working is with shadow and move.

Is it possible that this Forum can elect to not allow some functions of BBS code?

You should provide more commentary on how to design more in BBS code.

Why do not we make it easier? it's hard for someone which new in this forum. Do you think that a system like this needs to be changed?

This is just my opinion.

This Forum was founded to be able to the community to share information more effectively at the time it was created regarding bitcoin.
And for a person who came from that era, I understand the core value of this type of forum. One of the main reasons why they have not changed to money making a machine in which they can very easily.

Of course, everything has a learning curve but withholding information of some simple codes shouldn't be the focus here.
I believe, it's about the content of the information which they can share more effectively.

Hence the making of this list.

^_^

thanks,   well it's just my opinion.

[sung129]

Wow, what a great post! Thank you!

Thanks,  I used them a long time ago but I couldn't remember most of them.
so I googled around and surprisingly, it was pretty hard to find this information.
So, loving this forum for a long time, I wanted to share with you guys who are trying to get involved in this community.

I've noticed that some of your example usage items don't appear to provide the effect you are trying to create. Examples where your example usage might not be working is with shadow and move.

Is it possible that this Forum can elect to not allow some functions of BBS code?

I have noticed that.
Yes, they can either have the functions to be active or not.
A good example is a flash.  you can add them but it will not run, but just show the link to the flash
Same goes with attachment function it will not work.

going to edit them out.

You should provide more commentary on how to design more in BBS code.

Do you mean how to use the codes?

[sung129]

But newbies will use the buttons in post editor.

yes of course but if you have to use resize within the img you would need to edit a bit.

and plus there is no set instruction on how to add hyperlinked text nor there is one for a hyperlinked picture and bit more.

Oh, it makes sense. Thanks.
A lot of users can think like me: "but we can use the buttons" when starting reading this: the unknown usages can be featured in the post to earn more interest.

yes, I understand you as well.
If you can just use the click buttons to get your information out then that's great.

but sometimes the people require it to do be specific.
and that's when i need this codes.
