Post Template Thing...

[Deleted]

i have a question (actually a lot since i'm new but i'll stick to one for now).
people have these fancy post template things, i don't know what they're called. 
i just want to save a font face and some colours and stuff, so everytime i make a post, it's there. 
sorry for the really bad explaining ^^

I believe there's a setting in your profile that allows you to set up text whenever you write a post
Like, you just type in whatever you want and any time you post that'll be in the box first. I did that once to remind myself that my posts needed to be blockquoted.

You could also get posting templates from certain sites, such as gangnam-style.proboards.com. That site needs you to register, although others don't. You can save the posting template you like in the setting I mentioned earlier, so every time you post you can just type your post into the template and it'll look the same every time.

You could also make your own by learning the coding for Proboards, which isn't toooooo difficult. Most people are just lazy though.

I'll find where the setting is and I'll edit this post<3

If you go to edit your profile then click on the 'Settings' tab you'll find a line saying 'Posting Default'. At the moment it will be stuck on Preview, but if you change it to BBC Code a text box will open, and that is where you'll be able to put in text. If you put text in there, it will show up every time you go to make a post.

Spiderstar has already talked about actual posting templates, but if you just wanting to change a few simple things there are only a few codes you need to know.
If you want to change the size of your words:

[size=NUMBER] Then just put your text in here. The default size is 2, so 1 is smaller, and 3 and up is larger[/font]

If you want to change

where your text goes

then there are a few options

Use [left] TEXT HERE[/font] or [right] TEXT HERE[/font] or [center] TEXT HERE[/font] depending on where you want your text to go.

Or if you only want it to look a little different

Use [blockquote] TEXT HERE[/blockquote]

To change COLOUR use:
[color=HEX CODE] TEXT HERETo get a HEX code have a look at this website http://html-color-codes.info/ . You can use whatever color you like![/font]

To change FONT use:
[font=FONT HERE] TEXT HERE. Though not all fonts will work on Proboards.

Just remember that every time you try to change Font/Colour/Size/ect you need to have both a [Font/Color/Size=] at the start of your text and then another set of brackets at the end.

So putting all this together could look like this:

This is an example using a different colour, text, size and it's going to be on the right.

[size=1][font=arial][right][color=DA81F5]This is an example using a different colour, text, size and it's going to be on the right.[/size][/font][/right][/color]


I hope this quick coding lesson helped even a little! If you still can't figure it out feel free to ask more questions, and if you're completely stuck, I don't mind if you PM me and ask me to whip up the settings you want.

Thanks, both of you! You helped a lot.
And the coding lesson helped a lot. *secretly bookmarks this topic*
You didn't see nothing c:

Edit: So... Would this be correct?
[i][font face="trebuchet ms"][color=#ffffff]TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT[/color]

[color=lightblue]"Dialogue"[/color][/font][/i]

TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT

"Dialogue"

[Spidermask]

Yes, that looks quite nice!
I'm glad I could help
