Many of you that frequent other forum boards are familiar with UBB code for
formatting text and inserting graphics. There are also many that are not aware
that Cruise @ddicts also supports UBB Code. If you are more comfortable with
UBB then don't hesitate to use it but as a rule UBB and HTML do not mix well
so it is not a good idea to use both in the same post.
Following are the most common that will cover more than 90% of all applications.
Bold Hello Hello
Italic Hello Hello
Underline Hello Hello
colored Text This is a sample text This is a sample text
These can also be used in combination to create various emphasis, for example,
bold italic in red: This text has it all This text has it all
For color you can use just about any standard color name and be safe, red, blue, green, yellow, orange. You can also be creative though some color names may not be recognized so be ready to edit. If you are a little more familiar and comfortable you can also use hex color, there are several charts available through searches on the net but as example red in hex is #ff0000 so to create red text you would write instead of but for the less brave just stick with "red".
To center images and text:
More preferable with an image would be to put the code at the top and bottom.
To create a clickable email address you use the email tag around the address. Yourname@youremail.com will create Yourname@youremail.com
clicking on the link will open your email client and allow you to send an email to the link.
This is a case where the @ddicts forum will help you out you do not really have to use the tag, as long as there are no spaces between the first word, the @ sign, and the url address the forum will pick it up as an email address, the choice on this is yours.
[b]About url's and graphics.[/b]
One nice thing about Cruise @ddicts is that it takes the pain out of simple url's you don't have to do anything, just make sure that you use the complete url starting with the [b]http://[/b] that's it. you would write
[code]http://www.cruise-addicts.com[/code] will produce [url]http://www.cruise-addicts.com[/url]
But if you want to get a little fancy then it requires a little more work. First you can hide the link within a description.
[url=http://cruise-addicts.com]Here is Cruise @ddicts[/url] will produce [url=http://cruise-addicts.com]Here is Cruise @ddicts[/url]
clicking on Here is Cruise @ddicts will take you to the Cruise @ddicts home page.
For just an image you would use,

This is a lot simpler than the html code to produce the same results.
Now we can get real fancy and create a clickable image, it is a little tricky because it has to be right but look at the line real close and you will see that it really is easier than it looks. Key is to make sure that all the brackets [ ] get in the rightplaces.

In the example above, the url is attached to the image therefore giving the image the link. By clicking on the image you will be going to the link provided. Very important note! The image you provide must be on the internet as in the form of http:// and not stored on your hard drive. The image must be in a .jpg, .gif, .bmp or similar photo format. Great free hosting site and easy to use is [url]http://imagecave.com[/url]
Now for the rules, ya, gotta have rules.
Most important with all the examples above is that for every opening tag you MUST have a closing tag, it is the only way it will work. All closing tags are identical to the opening tag except that they will include the forward slash ( / ) at the front of the command. Bold opening tag [b] bold closing tag [/b] together they will bold everything between them.
Never leave a space between the tag and the text. right way [b]text[/b] wrong way [b] text [/b] but the text between the tags will have the usual spaces between the words.
More and more forums are limiting the use or doing away all together with html and replacing it with UBB since it can interact with the forum formatting and create some interesting sights until a moderator can get it cleaned up.
There have been issues in the past with signatures creating problems in a thread because of html code not being correct. We can not edit a signature to correct the problem, we have to remove the signature from the post, using UBB Code will prevent this in a lot of cases. Most countdowns now produce the code in both html and UBB, selecting UBB when you copy the code will be a great step as a lot of the problems with signatures are caused by improper countdown clock code.
