What do all of these boxes do? There are 24 of them and I only know what some of them do. This is kind of a newbie question, but I am only about 3 forum years old.



Below is a list we will modify as we define them. It goes from left to right starting on top.

[ size=2 ][ /size ] - Dictates size of text... this is 2, this is 3, this is 4, this is 5







[ font=Verdana ][ /font ] - Changes the font face of your text. [font=century gothic]blah[/font] displays this --- blah








[ youtube ][ /youtube ] - a Youtube link between these tags will be embedded in the post

Look at me all alone away from the other words.

Those are all "tags" that will format your text in various ways. The icon photos are pretty accurate at showing what that tag will do to the text. I'll update the original thread with some more examples... whatever you see to the right or underneath the example tag is what that tag will do.

P.S. I don't think all of the various text modification tags work in ALL skins and fonts, so you may not see them. I haven't used most of the various tags either, just the more common ones.

Cool, thanks!

I think the basics are illustrated above, you get the idea. Anyone curious about the rest of them can run some example posts in the Test Forum.

The above mentioned test forum is also a good place to check photo size and clarity for sigs etc

Alright, it is getting closer to being done. All those little boxes took me a while to make.

Now if we just had a button for this: [ url=www.auroraforums.com ]this highlighted text[ /url ]
