TEST FAQ « Thread Started on Nov 24, 2005, 12:39pm »
As a request, here is a short faq with the most common questions answered, more will be added as questions arise. Please don't post questions in the test board, use the support board http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=support
if you make a mistake while doing a test and need help, modify your post, add 'help' to the bottom of your post.
as you can see in the table, the content goes between the cell tags [td]CONTENT[/td]
you should also have the same amount of cells for each row.
layout of your code isn't too important, but i find the above method easy to follow. (rows below each other and cells side by side) at least till you get used to it
note: if you want to have blank cells, put this in the cell
Visualising a table
start at top left, move towards bottom right, this is the table code relating to the image

Nesting of tags If you want to use more than one effect, it's important to 'Nest' the tags properly, the image below shows a bolded, italic, and underlined text.
Bolded, Italic, Underlined
easy way to nest tags, click the one you want closest to the word (u for example) then highlight the tags. now click the next tag button (i), it will surround the first tag, then highlight the line again for more (b)
just put the image URL between the tags to show your image on the page
For an image hyperlink
[url=URL OF LINK][img]URL OF IMAGE[/img][/url]
To link to a particular post, click the 'Link to post' at bottom right, then copy the url from the address bar. Alternaely you can right-click the 'link to post' and select 'copy shortcut' and it's ready for pasting.

Image attributes (resizing in posts)
[img width=X height=X][/img]
150x150 smilie
X is the size in pixels
you can use it to make small images larger, or stretch them in one direction.
It can also be used to make big pics smaller, but it's best to resize huge ones in an image editor as using the method above (attributes) means the full image still has to load and will slow your board down.

Glow and Shadow
Glow
Shadow
Compatibility: Glow and Shadow effects will only work in Microsoft Internet Explorer. They are simply not compatible with other browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Opera etc. and there s no way to make them compatible. Some users also find glowing text hard to read so we ask you do not over use it on this support forum.
How to Customize: Few people are aware of what the two numbers after the color of the glow actually do.
[glow=red,2,300]
The number in red is the strength of the glow. Higher gives a more exaggerated effect. eg,
Strength 1
Strength 6
The number in blue represents the width of the container, this width is limited to about 400px
