I created this out of boredom and to help new people around the site, since the mighty text markup box is no longer in existence when you reply or create a new topic. I made it easy to follow.

You'll want to use text markup to make yourself more presentable and give more attention to a particular part of a report or something you might want to show us, it gives of better looks then caps.

Halo 3 is the best game I haven't played

HAWLO TREE IZ TEH BEAST GAM I HVENT PLAYD

Which looked better? The bold of course, people will respect you more if you do that instead of bad grammar and caps. It hurts my eyes.

I made a chart to show what they are. I attempted at making a box but that would take a gruesome amount of time.

Note: do not use }. I put that there so it wouldn't work and could show you, always use the normal brackets which is "[" and "]". Don't use those quotation marks either.

The Chart
___________
Bold text

[b]Enter Text[/b}
____________
Italics

[i]Enter Text[/i}
____________
Underline

[u]Enter Text[/u}
___________
Normal Link

[url]Paste Link here[url}
___________
Named Link

[url=paste link here]Enter Text[/url]
__________
* bullet

[*}

Hopefully sometime we can get color text back, disable the one color that is the same as the one on the forum, so it would be pimp. Images is also one, but it's disabled for users and mods I believe. Looks like bullets don't work no more either.

Things to keep in mind:
* You always need to put the / on the last set of brackets when doing one of the above. Or it don't work.
* You can do a combination of all of them if you really wanted too.

Ex: [b][u][i]Enter boring text here[/i}[/b}[/u}

The last sets do not have to be in the order of the first ones.
* When doing any of the above that involved text, never space the brackets(what you have to enter) from the text. That screws it up. Only space outside the brackets.
* You cannot use text markup in thread titles, group names or user names. as far as you can get are caps.

My half-assed guide is done. Maybe this will help some people. Particularly people who can't make links.

Discuss and what do you think should be added to the mrkups? Like I said color should come back. Not sure about images.

When you make something like that, it's usually better to just make an image, then link to it. You can't really list the text markup tags, because they'll be affected by themselves. Good thought, though.

EDIT: Oh, and I eagerly await the return of bulleted lists. I miss them.

HOW'D YOU DO THAT???!! Why would you want colered text? Isn't grey good enough for you? And how come when you click on links they don't change coler to let you know that you've clicked there?

Haha, no sweat - just hit reply and then quote to my above post and look at the text markup. You'll see how I played around with it to achieve the desired effect.

I am a proud user of correct spelling and grammar.

I'd prefer the latter of the two.
