IMPORTANT: How To Use The Custom BBCodes

[Film Brain]

OK, as you may know, I've added some special tags, which enable you to add some special stuff to your posts. This post is designed to help you out in case you get a bit stuck on how to use it.

Great FAQ Film Brain. Thanks for working so hard on the forums.

[Film Brain]

No problem. Enjoy!

[Ghostmayhem]

Spoiler! :

Hey, that's pretty awesome. Thanks!

[Arctus TH]

How exactly do you align text?
I need to center my signature. (>.O.)>

[~Psychotic~]

You bloody SOB, how the hell did you do that? I tried so hard to make Custom BBCodes for the likes of YouTube and that. Didn't think it was possible, lol. Care to share the secret method on how to create the tags above? Would be greatly appreciated, lol. Anyone?

[Film Brain]

To be honest, I looked up the forums of the phpBB site. They have a whole thread full of codes for you to use.

...Maverick! You're freaking everywhere!! I mean...how likely is it to cross the same guy on 3 totally unrelated sites? O_o;;
CCC, then I saw comments of yours on game trailers more than once...and now TGWTG too?
Stop following me. <_<

PS: I didn't click the spoiler button

There's another site that has a simular bbcode format, I cannot say the name of the site due to it's adult nature but I can easily understand that it function's almost the same as the bbcodes in here.

[killatia]

any custom codes for embedding blip.tv videos?

[moviebuffmel90]

any custom codes for embedding blip.tv videos?

I was just about to ask that as well.

[LegendaryBadass]

any custom codes for embedding blip.tv videos?

I was just about to ask that as well.

I've tried a variety of things and can't post Blip.tv videos.

[AMVP]

Every time I load this page, the Quicktime video in the first post starts automatically (unlike the others, where you have to click something first). This happens with me whenever I try to post Blip videos on other forums (and sorry Killatia, I don't know why that won't work here either), so normally I cover these videos with spoiler tags. That way, if there's a page featuring multiple videos like this, they don't all start loading and playing at once.

[The Dark Angel]

I believe I have an answer for you, Arctus.

Code: Select all

[Center]text[/Center]

That should center it like this...

I hope this helped.

[Obscurus Lupa]

Just to be helpful to everyone who doesn't know about blip.tv embedding, it only works in the blogs.

[Moleman]

Just to be helpful to everyone who doesn't know about blip.tv embedding, it only works in the blogs.

Oh, really?

I can't do anything about the size but it seems to be working for me.

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

[wmp]http://blip.tv/play/AYHJlE8C[/wmp]

Just get the full embed code by clicking on the the " e-mail or embed this video" which should look like this:

Code: Select all

<embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AYHJlE8C" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="297" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

Then take out the url in quotes after "embed src=" and use the windows media player tag.

[MangaMan]

Dear Film Brian,
I'm a little confused as to how this all works or if I got the right Forum I need. I want to be able to post my Manga/Anime reviews up here on thatguywiththeglasses.com. Is this the forum that shows you how you can get considered or do I need to look for a different Forum?

Sincerely,
MangaMan

[Namine]

Hey using IMG codes isn't working in my signature. I wanna post this:

but it says in the signature edit menu:
It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
So is it broken because it worked before...

[AverageTeenFemale]

Yeah. my dimension img thingy... It ain't doin' its job like Namines.
