Hey guys,
Wanted to quickly put this out there in case anyone else gets the same idea. ProBoards and FreeForums will usually check any manual BBCode you do and automatically edit the coding to match its syntax. Sometimes this can lead to problems. For example,
You can set up BBCode to change the color of this text to blue by typing in "{Font color=blue}" (just replace the {} with []".
The site will automatically set up the syntax to have the proper end statement, and that end statement will appear at the bottom of your text. Easy, right?
Now, for one line, that won't be a problem.
However, we do this thing called "dialogue."
And we often times switch colors to represent different people.
So when there are multiple lines of this, all needing end brackets for fonts...
...It will create an error in the compilation and delete everything you wrote.
So, you're probably wondering, "DIONYSUS! HOW DO WE AVOID THAT?!"
...Well, add your end statements.
If you already have it all written out in, say, Word, you could always add something like "[akbjnAF]" at the end of each line, and do find/replace with the /font bracket.

Copy and paste the code that you in your signature into a post.
Put it in Code brackets (two brackets with code in them, the one at the end as a slash before the word code) so we know what it actually posts.

fuck it....I can't get it.... Fun thought of the day: despite being built as an image-hosting site, Imgur supposedly discourages hotlinking, especially to forum sites like Freeforums and Proboards. Google is your friend here for finding a different source, as it's been years since I have needed anything of the sort, but I don't believe it's your fault things aren't working effectively.

Got another fresh BBCode tip for y'all.
ProBoards comes with a few pre-installed fonts that you can change your text to appear as.
But did you know that you can also enter in any font you have installed on your computer and be able to see it?
For example, the above sentence, for me, has the "Barcade" font. You probably can't see it, because you don't have the font installed to your computer.
In my promos, I use "viner hand itc," so in case you don't have that one, you could find it and install it to your computer (if you want!).
