| For those that are not too experienced in forum roleplay, this will teach you how to use coding in your posts to make them more presentable. When your looking around or posting in threads, you will come to notice people using fonts, colours, tables, images and videos of the sorts. These are all done by lovely codes that will eventually flock everyones threads. To get some of these working, your gonna need a thread first so i'm just going to give you a sample and modify it to show you the different ways it could be molded. Just click the Spoilers to open them up. Sample Post, no Coding involved - Spoiler:
The walls around the duelist looked as tall as ever keeping everyone that didn't belong there outside of its gigantic boundaries. Standing before him was a giant hulk of a man with a duel disk attached to his wrist . He stared down at him with an unimpressed look on his face. "Hey there tall guy, you going to let me in?" That was the first thing he could say to such a giant man. Its not every day you see the worlds tallest bloke standing before you. Nevertheless, his deck was not a threat to those with a lot of power themselves. He was just a gatekeeper after all.
Sample Post, Added some Bold and italics to show what is important - Spoiler:

- So how do you use codes to make things like this? Its not hard at all seeing as the Site gives you access to nearly all of its codes whenever you post. Above the Text Field there will be a lot of silver boxes with icons littering the space underneath the topic title. To use them, Highlight part of the text that you are writing and click one of the boxes. This will add some bracketed text related to what you clicked around what you highlighted. Simple
Each one of these codes has a job which ill list here going from left to right:
B
Bold font
I
Italic font
U
Underline font
S
Strike-through font
Left
Shift text Left
Center
Shift text to the Center
Right
Shift text to the Right
Justify
Stretches all the text so it fits the sites width
List
Bullet points a list, will need to work a bit to use this
Numbered List
Puts numbered bullets
Line Break
Creates a line to section a post
Quote
Separate the text into a quote. Usually used for a past reference
Code
Disables codes within its boundaries so others can copy a template etc
Table
Creates a table around the highlighted text
Host Image
Upload an image from your HDD
Image
Insert an image via its URL
URL
causes a web address to become clickable
Flash
Embedded a flash program into the post
Video
Inserts a video from Youtube or Dailymotion to view within a post
Size
Alter the size of the text
Color
Alter the text color
Font
Alter the displayed font of the text
Things from there onwards are best left alone apart from maybe the Spoiler code which allows you to hide unwanted text unless it is clicked on like how i used it above. Other codes are Code List: - Quote :
