Guide for BB-code on mobile

There are 2 methods to do this:
1. Scroll down to the bottom of this site and press on 'desktop'
2. Go to the settings of your mobile browser and press on something like desktopsite or change to desktop version.

Vice versa you can also ask for a mobile version on desktop. If using chrome press F12 and press on the mobile sign at the left top of the developer's option screen.
In some cases minimizing the screen of your browser also works.

{marquee] text {/marquee]

Use the tag above but replace { with [ to get it working. 
Marquee shouldn't be used to much though, as it's quite hard to read a moving text, so only do it for fun purposes. 

{table]{tr]{td]your text{/td]{/tr}{/table] (this example would give 1 row with 1 column in which 'your text' is written)
A table is quite some work to manually type via mobile, so in general it's only recommended to do it automatically via desktop

Replace all  { with [

You should open a table with the tag {table], and end it with {/table]

To get a row, you should create a tag [tr], to end a row, you should create a tag {/tr]

To get a column, you should create a tag [td], to end a collumn, you should create a tag {/td]. In between the tags of the collumn, you should type your text.

if you make a table with 2 rows and 3 columns, you will get the following:

{table]
[tr] [td] text 1 {/td] [td] text 2 {/td] [td] text 3 {/td] {/tr]
[tr] [td]  new row text 1 {/td] [td] text 2 {/td] [td] text 3 {/td] {/tr]
{/table]

{a href="X"]Y{/a]

Use the tag above yet replace { with [

The x should be replaced with the url you want to link to.
The y is the text that will be showed in the thread, if pressed on the y, you will get to the x.

{roll]

use the tag above but replace { with [ to get it working.
This tag is only available in the World in Flames board, as it's occasionally necessary to throw a dice for some forum games

{div style="text-align:X;"] text {/div]

Use the tag above yet replace { with [

Replace the X with:
left
center
right
justify 

{ul type="X"]
{li]List item 1{/li]
{li]List item 2{/li]
{li]List item 3{/li]
{/ul]

Use the tag above and replace { with [
For each item on the list you create another line with
{li]text{/li]

Replace the X with

• disc

• circle

• square

You can also use continuation type of list that increases its number for every new item on the list
{ol type="x"]
{li]hello{/li]
{/ol]
As you can see it's practically the same yet there's an o instead of an u

Replace x with

1. decimal

1. upper-alpha

1. lower-alpha

1. upper-roman

1. lower-roman

{font color="X"]insert text here{/font]
Use the tag above and replace { with [

Replace the X with the hexadecimal code of the color. If you're unfamiliar with hexadecimal colorcode, use google and search for a hexadecimal colorpicker

{font face="X"]your text here{/font]

Use the tag above and replace { with [

You can replace the X with the following fonts:
arial
comic sans ms
courier new
georgia
impact
times new roman
trebuchet ms
verdana

{font size="X"]your text here{/font]

Use the tag above and replace { with [

You can replace x with a number between 1 (very small) and 7 (very big

A tagged member will get a notification that he's tagged. It might be handy if you need that person.

However don't tag persons for no reasons, it's rather annoying to get much notifications if it's unnecessary. It's not smart to tag bunch of people just to answer your question.

You tag with username

Note that the username is not the same as the display name. If you don't know the username of someone go to his profile, there you can see his username.

Sadly occasionally a bad post will pop up between all good posts in this forum.

This guy probably only wants attention so it's best to not reply on it but to report it instead.

You can do that by pressing on the cog-wheel and then select 'Report post'

It will ask you for a reason why you reported that post. When you've filled in that reason, press send.

Only report a post when it's definitely against our terms and conditions. Don't report a post because you just don't agree with that what the other person said.

A spoiler hides a piece of text before the member clicks on it to unveil the text.

This can be used for different scenarios. For instance when you want to create a look-up thread (like this one) and a member only need the information relevant for him.
But also when you don't want a member to immediately see the text you can use a spoiler. (For instance if you post a riddle)

A spoiler tag works the following:
(Replace { with [)

{spoiler] insert text {/spoiler]
This will become

You can use spoilers inside spoilers as well.

Horizontal lines can be used to seperate two parts from a post. You can create them easily with an hr tag:

{hr] (replace { with [)

It will create a horizontal line beneath the text before the tag and above the text after the tag

When scrolling through the comments, you can see a quote button.

If you press on it you reply yourself with a quote from that comment, the user you've quoten will get a notification for it.

Occasionally posts can be very long, if you quote the whole comment, your post will also be very long.
Therefore it's recommended to check what you really need from that post and only quote that. You can do this by quoting the entire post and removing all non-relevant parts.

If you don't want to quote a post in here but just a quote from a book or site you can use the special quote tags:
(Don't forget to replace { with [)
{quote] insert text here {/quote]

insert text here

Replace { with [ to make the tags work!

For this example I use the word 'hello'.
Realise you need to type both an opening tag ({b]) as well as an end tag {/b] to get the text rightly edited.

As a small tip, the letter in the tag is the same as the first letter of the effect you want to give it.

Bold: {b] hello {/b] -> hello
italics: {i] hello {/i] -> hello
underline: {u] hello {/u] -> hello
Striped: {s] hello {/s] -> hello

You can also combine multiple effects.
If you want to make it both bold and underlined you can use this:
{B]{u]hello{/u]{/b] ->
hello

Proboards doesn't have its own image hosting server, therefore we need to use an outside image hoster to upload images to the forum. We mainly use postimages.org

If on desktop -> simply press on the 'add image' button and select an image from your computer and upload it, the image should directly be added to your post.

If on mobile -> go to the site postimage.org and press on the upload button. Select an image from your phone and upload it. Copy one of the links with 'fora' in it, check if the url has [ type of tags. Copy that tag to your post.

Hello all,

Below I briefly explain how to upload videos to the forum.

First you need to upload your video to any supported video site (see below).
Then you can use video tags and put that link in between.
The video tags are the following but without the stars:

[*video] link [*/video] 

A video from youtube would be like this:
[*video] youu.be/V7w1sLkih-o [*/video]


without the stars it will become this


You can also chance the size of the videobox,
You do that by using slightly different tags

If you want to have a small video box you type the following code (without stars)
[*video size="small"]url[*/video]
The 2 other supported sizes are 'medium' and 'large', simply change 'small' in the code to the size of your preference.

A video with a small box would look like this:


Below a list of supported links:
CollegeHumor
Dailymotion
Metacafe
MySpace videos
Twitch.tv
UStream
Vech
Vimeo
Youtube
Imgur GIFv

If you want to use another link it should end with either .wmv/.avi/.mpg/.mov/.mp4/.ogv/.webm


Hope this helps,

Recording is actually quite easy. However a single recording can already consume multiple GBs, so try to upload it immediately to insure your phone has enough storage.

If on Android, check whether some sort of screen recording is already build in to your phone.

If not, head to the google play store and download a screen recorder. It's pretty straightforward.

If on iOS,
1. Add Screen Recording to Control Center. Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, then tap next to Screen Recording.

2. Open Control Center.

3. Tap , then wait for the three-second countdown. To capture sound while you record, press deeply on and tap Microphone Audio.

4. To stop recording, open Control Center and tap . Or tap the red status bar at the top of your screen and tap Stop.
