I was interested in knowing what was possible in these text boxes we write in every time, so I made a search on the subject and came up with this : vB Code List

Having learnt some HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP and having had a 'mySpace' before I joined in here I knew that it was possible to put more in here than just text.

I've sussed out that all HTML tags are ripped out of the page by the PHP, which is a good thing because otherwise all the pages would be insane. But now I know what can be put in here, and so do you! 

I knew about the size, font, color and code things... but php? awesome!

Yes I realise that most of the Internet is made by programmers for programmers, so things like the HTML and the PHP codes are to show scripts on a page without the browser actually seeing it as script.

But now even after having found this link I still don't understand how you can put a background colour to text as on this page, in dodosito's quote. I checked the page source and came up with a html DIV called CLASS, the yellow background is called 'eop' and the green class is called 'ecl', are these class codes particular to this site? If so, are there more?

Woah, serious cool stuff.
Some time ago, we had a muck about on this site looking at what coding we could use - hence the changes to fonts and font sizes in some posts.  But the rest of the stuff is excellent.
I particularly like:

• the
  
• list
  
• feature
  

Sadly it seems like the text positioning codes don't work.  I tried
[center]this[/center]
and
[right]that[/right]
but they refused to budge from being left aligned. 

Thanks for this Kings.

[php]
$myvar = 'Hello World!';
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
{
    echo $myvar . "n";
}
[/php]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

uhm

it works????

Hey TK, What works?????

And How did you get those lines?????

I caught dodosito doing some experimenting this afternoon with [highlight] but that also didn't work, any suggestions?

interesting. i would like to know how too. had tried out some banners today they too did not work

[noparse]Not sure about this though [/noparse]

Anyway, it's a good way to test the forum's ability to stay clean...

I can't stand forums full of ads and messy signatures with too many colours on way too big pictures, ten times as large as the actual forum post....

eggs
milk
butter
bread
beer

can you guess what's missing from this list?

Is this a competition? Is there a prize?

CHEESE!!!!!

1) [spoiler]If you could only read this. Oh! Wait, you can![/spoiler]
