yin26 Moderator IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:27 O.K. Here's what I know: bold italics namk26@hotmail.com civilization.gamestats.com/forums/ quote: But you said... Is there more? How do I, for instance, do the 'click here' thing instead of pasting the url? Is that HTML? Please help me learn this stuff so I can better organize things. It would be a big help... ------------------ CIV3 DEVELOPMENT LIST COORDINATOR (un)Officially Making Lists for Firaxis Since SMAC Enhancement 3!

EnochF Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:32 I'm just guessing, but let me try: Click here
JT Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:32 Same here. I need to know all that. I already know what Yin knows, so skip that. Yin: Do you know how to change the color, size, and shape of text? It can help if you really want to grab attention.
EnochF Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:33 That's what I figured. Substituting parentheses for greater/lesser thans, it looks like this. (a href="http://civilization.gamestats.com")Click here(/A) *GOT THAT?*
JT Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:38 Let me try: (a href="http://www.apolyton.com/forums")HIT IT HERE

JT Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:40 Hey! I kept putting (substituting bractets for greater/lesser) [/a] at the end and nothing happened! What gives?
EnochF Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:41 Um... you have to use greater thans and less thans instead of (parenthesis). <<>>
yin26 Moderator IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:42 If you use the 'Edit Message' button, you can see all the codes. That's a great feature... ------------------ CIV3 DEVELOPMENT LIST COORDINATOR (un)Officially Making Lists for Firaxis Since SMAC Enhancement 3!
EnochF Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:43 Hang on... shouldn't we be using a different forum to talk about how to throw in HTML codes? [This message has been edited by EnochF (edited May 20, 1999).]
Rong Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:44 yin, It's easy to learn a bit of HTML from the webmonkey. [This message has been edited by Rong (edited May 20, 1999).]
JT Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 19:48 I know. I meant I was substituting them for that message so everything wouldn't disappear. But, I know what to do now, since Yin announced that trick. Thanks Yin! ------------------ -Civ3 Thread Master of OTHER and UNITS. "We get the paperwork, you get the game!"

tfs99 Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 20:05 Yeah, Yin. But you're the only one who can edit our messages! Is there a way to change font and color with UBB only??? Civ3 n ... Ted S.
yin26 Moderator IP:	posted May 20, 1999 20:23 Ted, That was my question, too. HTML is cumbersome in comparison to UBB. I've searched the Internet but only found those few things in UBB code I listed above.
TheHelperMonkey Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 20:48 To edit the font do then type in the message (make the message touch brackets) There you go! To do color, just do and then follow my directions up top. to do size do look at this and this... lastly this
TheHelperMonkey Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 20:52 Ignore the first part of my message... Do do font do this... To edit the font do {font type="(any font in c:windows/fonts)"} then type in the message (replace those with regular brackets) {/font>} to do color do {font color="any color"} to do size do {font size="+ (don't forget the plus) any number from 1-7} hope it helps.
tfs99 Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 20:56 >>>>> HelperMonkey Are we talking angle brackets: < > Or Square brackets: [] I already know how to do fonts, colors, sizes with HTML (angle brackets). I was wondering if the same kind of thing could be done with UBB codes. I just tried your examples with square brackets and it did not work. Civ3 n ... Ted S.

Rong Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 21:05 Hah! No self-respecting web hacker should use the FONT tag. See What's wrong with the FONT element? and <FONT FACE> considered harmful. The right way is to use HTML to define the structure of your document, and use style sheet to define the appearance. Take it from me, don't build up a bad habit.

JT Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 21:08 Is this HTML or UBB: [font color="red" size="+7" face="Impact"]Hi.[/font] Replace the brackets with greater/lesser signs, of course. Is it HTML or UBB?
Rong Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 21:13 JT, That's HTML. A complete list of current UBB Codes are listed here.
tfs99 Civer IP:	posted May 20, 1999 21:14 >>>>> Rong That's an easy one for me. <Rodney Dangerfield> I don't get no respect. No respect at all I tell ya. Why just the other day I stopped in over at the SMAC forums and they told me I didn't deserve to BLAH. I tell ya it ain't easy being me! </Rodney Dangerfield> Civ3 n ... Ted S.
JT Civer IP:	posted May 21, 1999 12:19 Thanks, Rong.
