Hi everyone,

I need some help with formatting postings, as I am currently running a little MTW based online game (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=18;t=17790;st=0) over at the Jousting Field.

I can to the usual bold, italics and underline, but the things I am looking for is how to change text colour, font size and style etc. Shades Wolf has put this sort of thing into his post here (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=27;t=18854;&#top). So I know that somehow it can be done, I just dont know how.


The most useful thing would be :

How can I link to certain postings in a thread ?
I know I can link to certain pages, but getting a link to home in on a certain post on a page would really be a great help for what I am doing.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Nigel

and should work where < = [ to change text colour.

Remember, to check out how a person does something, just click Quote and see how they did it.

PS. Wrong forum

Thanks Myrddraal,

Colour and size should help a bit.
Quoting peoples post is also a good tip. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif
Doing this I found out that the beautiful old font ShadesWolf has used is not a forum supported font but a gif which he has linked in http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flat.gif. So how do I make gifs with a transparent background ?

And still:
How can I link to certain postings in a thread ?

That would be most useful if it is possible.


P.S.
Which forum would this be posted best ?

Hm, don&#39;t know about linking to posts, but this forum is for mods in development. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif

Topic moved
The Alchemist Lab isn&#39;t the right forum either, but anyway, you can find most of the codehelp just below the white text entry when reply to a post. It&#39;s called: [rul=javascript:PopUp(&#39;http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=Legends&CODE=ibcode&#39;,&#39;HelpCard&#39;,&#39;250&#39;,&#39;400&#39;,&#39;0&#39;,&#39;1&#39;,&#39;1&#39;,&#39;1&#39;)]iB Code[/url]

Cheers, Duke John
