Hey, YOU. You want to learn the ropes? I think you do.
-Customization-
You can customize how you see the forum, and how other people see you. Take a look.
Changing Skins
No, I do not mean the membrane that keeps the blood from seeping out. Peeling that off to change it would be a little painful.
What I mean is the look of the site.
Currently , there are three skins- IGPXFan, IGPXFan Lite and IGPXFan Turbo. Each looks different. To change skins, go to your profile until you come across the "select skin" button, and select the skin you want.
IGPXFan is default.
Avatars
By default, there are going to be some preset "Avatar" images to use. These are those things that appear under your name on your post. However, if you want an avatar image different from the presets, you can have any image at all, as long as it isn't pornographic or Hentai...graphic(did I get that right?) or it doesn't contain cursing. You can also have animations.
You must locate any image's URL . Please note you can only have images up to 100 by 100 pixels and smaller. Once you have the URL, enter it into "Avatar URL" in your edit profile menu, and specify how many pixels wide and tall it is.
Personal Text and Signatures
Personal text appears under your avatar, or if you have none under the space where the avatar would go.
Sigtanures can be a combination of text and images. To put images in your signature use the image tags (img)[insert URL of image here](/img) but replace the (s with [s. This brings us to...
Tags
There are many different tags. If you are posting, you will see a number of buttons above the area where you enter text. These are tags. When you click on one it will bring up something that looks like this-
[()][/()]
The ()s are variable- they differ depending on the tag itself. Put the text you want changed by the tags in the space between the [()] and the [/()]
Different tags include-
Move tags- for these, put "move" in place of the ()s. This tag
please refrain from using this too often outside of the spam forum, because it makes text hard to read.
URL Tags- for these, put "url" in place of the ()s. Then put a web adress where the text would normally go. this brings up a link-
igpxfan.proboards100.com/index.cgi
Advanced URL tags- These put a link, but instead of showing the link as the web adress, it says whatever you want. These require a modification to the standard tag formula-
[()=][/()]
replace the ()s with "url" as you did for standard URL tags. However, after the equals sign, put the web adress, and put whatever you want to call the link in the space between. This does this. If you click this it opens a new window that takes you to IGPXFan, as does the other one.
Image tags
as stated in the signature area, use "img" in place of the ()s.
Bold, strikethrough, underlined, and italics tags
For Bold, "b" in place of the ()s, for strikethrough, "s", for underlined, "u", and for italics, "i".
Font, glow, color, and shadow tags
These are a bit more advanced.
Font and color tags follow the same formula as the advanced URL tags- for font, ()s are "font", put font name after equals sign. For color, "color" for ()s, and color after the equals sign.
For glow and shadow tags, the formula gets crazy.
[()=~,#,%][/()]
the # represents a small number, the % represents a large number. the ~ represents the color of the shadow or glow. "glow" and "shadow" in place of ()s.
Size tags
Same as advanced URL tags formula, put number after equals sign, and "size" in place of ()s. this does this.
Happy Posting!
