    Sorry are there color codes or something that we should be using to make colored posts? I've tried using some i've found online but I've had no luck.

    I see my problem. I was using color instead of font color.

    image

    Perhaps I am doing it wrong, but I believe an image should be here. If I took a screenshot ingame, then opened the picture in a browser, then copied the location, shouldn't it appear? Sorry for the stupidity, I am very very bad with this kind of thing. Any assistance would be welcome.
    EDIT: Scratch all of that, got it to work!

    Hm, lets see, how much HTML is left in my brain...

    A horizontal line to seperate my thoughts: < hr />


    Now a great table! (Quote post to see code)

    small colbig column 
    upper leftupper middleright
    lower leftlower middle

    "That was an awesome table... even though valign="middle" doesn't work"
    -- Durlachion


    • < hr > works
    • < table > works kinda...
    • < ul > and < li > works!

    @Troodon80
    Thanks, but I think you misunderstood me. I didn't want to color the headers I just want to know what color the standard headers have.
    I tried with color = sand and color = beige. Sand does nothing beige is much more white then the standard header color is.
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    If you realy want to match, see if you have any program that lets you use the eyedropper to sample color.

    @reedmilfam, there's a browser plug-in that does that. Firefox and Chrome.

    (That site also has a good gradient generator.)

    I find it easier to just use Firebug, though :).

    Also, example of gradient:

    Basic Win7 Office w/ Ribbon GUI. Did this in about 20 minutes.

    @citizenx, I don't know how proficient you are at this, so I'll give an in-depth, but concise, walk through.

    If you don't already have one, you'll need an image host. ImageShack and Photobucket do well enough. PostImage also works quite well if you don't want an account. There's also Imgur and TinyPic, so there's a few to choose from.

    When trying to upload, it will ask where you want to upload from and give you a typical 'open file' dialog, select the file you want to upload and click upload (or whatever the button says).

    Once you have uploaded an image, you will then need to get the link to the image you have uploaded (you can't simply link to an image on your C:\ drive (well, unless you have a public IP address and well...)), which it usually gives you a few options for sharing the image after it has been uploaded. This is an example of TinyPic. Most of the time, you will want the direct link option.

    Once you have the link, you need to type something like this:

    <img src="your link goes here" alt="alternate text in case the image is unavailable" />

    For example, your current avatar (quote to see the code):

    citizenx

    Your avatar with a specified width and height (adding style="width: 45px; height: 45px;" to the tag):

    citizenx

    If I make a mess of the link, or for some reason the image is no longer available, or can't load, then this is the outcome:

    citizenx

    Hope that helps :).

    What is the difference between < i > and < em >?

    edited December 2012
    So basically if you're just reading it without being able to actually see the HTML tags, there is no difference?

    @Awong124, no. Common use these days is that <em> replaces <i> and <strong> replaces <b>, but for a proper usage the following examples are a 'correct' use of the tags (quote this post to see comments on the code).
    Today's News
    In today's news, Jane Doe and John Doe both go to the park.

    During John and Jane's visit to the local park--

    Booooooring.

    Hey! I'm trying to read the news.

    Talking about Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition would be much more fun.
    In short, from a readability aspect on a forum, you won't see any difference in the text, it's all just semantics. You would get the same results by using spans with CSS styles.
