How to change the text appearance:

Use tags before and after the text to change its appearance, as follows.

Code:

Here is some [b]heavy[/b] text.

Here is some heavy text.

Code:

Here is some [i]slanted[/i] text.

Here is some slanted text.

Code:

Here is some [b][i]heavy slanted[/i][/b] text.

Here is some heavy slanted text.

How to change the text colour:
To alter the colour or size of your text the following tags can be used. Keep in mind that how the output appears will depend on the viewer's browser and system:
Changing the colour of text is achieved by wrapping it in

Code:

[color=][/color]

. You can specify either a recognised colour name (eg. red, blue, yellow, etc.) or the hexadecimal triplet alternative, e.g. #FFFFFF, #000000. For example, to create red text you could use:

Code:

[color=red]Hello![/color]

Linking to another site
phpBB BBCode supports a number of ways of creating URIs (Uniform Resource Indicators) better known as URLs.
The first of these uses the url tag: whatever you type after the = sign will cause the contents of that tag to act as a URL. For example to link to ploggle.com you could use:

Code:

[url=http://www.ploggl.com/]Visit phpBB![/url]

Or you can simply type the full URL beginning with http and a clickable link will be generated.

How do I post images?
Put images on your own web site and include a full link to them here. Or use a free image hosting service like image shack:
http://www.imageshack.us/
or here:
http://www.pictiger.com/

phpBB BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and secondly the image you display must already be available on the Internet (it cannot exist only on your computer for example, unless you run a webserver!). To display an image you must surround the URL pointing to the image with [img][/img] tags. For example:

Code:

[img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/img]

As noted in the URL section above you can wrap an image in a url tag if you wish, e.g.

Code:

[url=http://www.google.com/][img]http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif[/img][/url]

would generate:

NOTE: You should use this facility ONLY to display an essential diagram or photo. Do not use images in your signature! Do not insert WIDE images which are too large to display on a small screen!

There are also codes for making text larger, but we don't want you to use them here.

Please use codes sparingly for emphasis, otherwise it becomes tiresome to read.
