Sample of bb code usage

Also, when centering, there is no need to center individual paragraphs. just enter a couple of line spaces between and they will all center when you center the whole block.

Here are some more colors, not on the list that you can enter into the color field, there are lots more...basically if you can think of a color it may work.
pink
chartreuse
purple
magenta
orangered
coral
springgreen
skyblue
slateblue
lawngreen
I love color!

SILVER
COPPER
BRASS
GOLD

Copper didn't do so well but the other three are passable.

Hello WOC! It's not a box, it's the code. If you choose orange, like you did in this post, just replace the orange with another color. Now, the pictures are not any harder than the other forum, just different. I will walk you through it.

a. click "host an image" button
b. click browse, this will open up your picture file on your computer, you may have to redirect it but that's ok, just find your picture you want to use
c. click host it

then it will put up a box with three choices, pick one (usually the middle one) and click it, it will ask to copy to your clipboard, allow, then paste into your post.

If you want to use a picture from the web use the image box and paste the url into it. Get the url the same way you did with the other foum, just put it into the box, click where you want it to go and hit ok
.

If you need to resize a pic from the web, use the "host an image" button and paste the url into the bottom url space, be sure and check the url circle/box, click host it and finish the same way you did when you used the pic from your computer.

It's really much easier because you don't have to go to an off site image host and resize it there and then bring it back here, it does it all for you with a few clicks!

TIP: When you use Host an Image you don't have to paste it in the box but the box may be in the way, just click the Host an Image button again and it will go away and you can paste.

Getting the url from a picture on the web is easy.
When you find a picture, put your cursor on it and right click, you will get options, click properties.
the box will open up and in the middle you will see an address/url, they almost always end with jpg.
put your cursor over that and right click, choose select all and it will highlight the address and then copy it.
This is what you will use to enter into any of the image boxes above. like this, I right clicked your avatar


You can do it, I still remember when I learned, it wasn't that long ago.

I dont remember the other forum having spell check. Firefox does that but I don't use it. I'm used to IE. But you're the second person that's mentioned it so, idk what the deal is with that. I'm sorry.

If you look up a few posts, you will see a screenshot of the different color codes, they are the same as what you see on your edit page when you highlight a word and use the color button, you can just swap out the colors in the code.

Another way to get a picture in firefox is with adblock. Just do a right-click and don't execute the block, but look at the link.

This can also be used for graphics and other items on a webpage that aren't pictures, such as buttons, smilies, or items hidden in the CSS or java codes.

I don't know if this is Firefox specific or not, but you can also right click and then click on "copy image location". This puts the image link code in the clipboard, and you can just paste it in.
