There are many reasons why a message board would choose to use BBCode. The biggest reason why a message board would choose BBCode would be that it is very easy to use.

no

By code what kind of code do you mean? If HTML, then <hr/>, if normal wikitext/BBCode, ----.

Embedded? You can't. All html/BBCode/pictures/videos are automatically filtered out of your profile or stories.

BBCode is an abbreviation for Bulletin Board Code, the lightweight language used to format posts in many message boards.

This is possible on some forums but not others through the use of BBCode. BBCode is basically the textformatting code used on forums. For example, [b]Your Text[/b] would result in Your Text. For flash movies, the most common code is [flash]Flash Movie Link[/flash]. However, as stated above, not all forums have this feature added/enabled.

Using BBCode.

For instance, [color=red]Red Text[/color], or [color=blue]Blue Text[/color].

That depends, it may be HTML script "translated" into normal text, as BBCode where you can make bold text, and it can be HTML which is translated into for example PHP with echo tags.

Sadly, you cannot use HTML codes. The coding system Gaia let's the users use is a coding system called BBCode. It's pretty much the same thing only [ ] are used in place of < >.

To get a picture on Gaia, you much get an account on Photobucket.com and upload your photo there. When you are done editing it, go to your profile. Move your mouse over the picture and a drop down menu should appear. The last code is BBCode. Copy and past that onto Gaia.

You'll need something like Deviant Art.

Submit images to an art site like that, that'll give you an Image address - right click and paste onto your site.

This is a fake example of what you would put using BBCode. You could also convert to HTML by using a BBCode/HTML converter simply by copying and pasting. Other codes use different formats.

To add an image to your profile, just copy and paste the Direct Link onto it. The system will then change it into HTML code, for it to display properly. There is no need to use HTML or BBCode.

if you want change the font size you have to do [size=20]some text here[/size]

Go to My Gaia > Account > Change Username. You can change your username twice for free, after that you need to pay 10,000 gold.

When you're on gaia go to your profile and at the top it should say edit profile layout. Click on it; a box should pop up saying theme, pictures, text, ect. Click on theme, there's already themes to pick from but if you want a different one go to photobucket and type in whatever or if you already have a bbcode or whatever typr it in where it says URL.

You don't use Hyperlink, you use BBCode! For example, if you want to insert a link, just do this:

[url=http://www.midnightstardustanime.wordpress.com]This is Midnight Stardust's Blog![/url]

If you want to insert an IMAGE with a link, do this:

[url=(the link of your website where your image is)][img](the link of your image)[/img][/url]

If you just want an image, do this:

[img](your link of your image)[/img]

NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Most forums use something that is called BBcode, which is an alias of HTML.

On most forums the code would be [img]http://deffe.com/cow.jpg[/img]

some forums use HTML link to upload the image , on those forums paste the HTML link generated from a image hosting website. make sure that there are no space's present in between the tags or links

Hi. I know what your talking about. On the profile. That is a programming language called BBCode this is how you do it. If you want to type " I LOVE PUPPIES " and cross it out type this [s]I LOVE PUPPIES[/s] The s's stand for "strikeout"

This can be done with other things such as [color=white] Then this text it white [/color]

You can experiemnt with all kinds of things.. or you can just Google it!

But every command ends with a [/command here]

Be sure you take the text you want to be striken out and put this around it.

[s]This is sample text[/s]

-Ellron

yes, but it takes a while. go to your scroll, click on the egg/hatchling and click "show HTML/bbcode links" then don't go back just click scroll again. repeat. lol you can also get a red dragon and get it to incubate it. it helps it hatch faster but that's about it. also there is a loot easier way to get plenty of clicks to get it to hatch. just go to dailydragonfix.com and register. its completely free and you don't have to enter your email. after registering and signing in, add your dragons URL the way it tells you to and voila! ppl will click urs. btw you have to click at least 20 different eggs a day on that site though. that's how it works ;)

You can either post a link to the screenshot, by uploading it to a file hosting website first.

You can also use bbcode, which most forums have enabled by using the following code:

[IMG]www.example.com/image[/IMG]

Whilst, using them tags you must enter the link to the screenshot in between them, make sure the link isn't broken, otherwise this won't work.

If you are using a forum site and they have a bio which allows BBcodes to be posted onto your profile page...and you want to pimp it with cool colors or pics? but don't know how?..i'll show you. (this is not HTML codes)

(Again this is only for websites with BIO's or profile pages that allow BBcodes)

Myspace approves these codes.

1) If you want your text to be larger just type in

[size=20](enter text)[/size] (sizes can be adjusted by numbers)

2) If you want to change the font just type in...

[Font=Impact](enter text here)[/font] (of course you can change the font lol. )

3) If you want large colorful words just type in

[Color=Red][size=30]enter Text here[/size][/color]

(color and size can be change to your priorities.)

4) If you want glitter pictures on your Bio or edit profile page just look for websites which have a BBcode to the animated GIF picture or glitter texts.

5) If you want to add a URL link name without the website name showing you type in

[URL=(select URL code)] Name it here[/URL] instead of the website name showing it will show what you named it

EXAMPLE: >Click here< this will be clickable and redirect you to the link you posted with your URL code.

Bold text [b]ENTER TEXT HERE[/b]

Strike through text [S]ENTER TEXT HERE[/S]

Underlined text [U]ENTER TEXT HERE[/U]

Rainbow text (HELLO) [color=#ff0000]H[/color][color=#cc8f33]e[/color][color=#99ed66]l[/color][color=#66f899]l[/color][color=#33accc]o[/color]

I am posting this because some people still don't understand how to do this stuff...because the instructions on the internet are confusing or they have never dealt with this stuff
