Post Formatting + Awards System

[Faltzer]

For those who like to format their posts with font-colors, font-weight and actual fonts, then post formatting is here. This little trick formats your posts automatically with the specified formatting options provided in the Edit Profile (bottom) (http://vglan.com/forum/profile.php?do=editprofile) page. Basically, this removes the need to have to manually include the [font] and [color] tags from post, which makes things much easier and convenient. Change of style? Update in User CP and all posts change.

In addition, we have an awards system. It'll be put to use very soon.

Edit:
It's recommended that you DO use HEX Color Codes, because not all colors are available with their names. While inputting hex color codes, you must also add # right before the color code, else it won't display properly.

[matto insano]

good looks to faltzer

[Nintendodsg]

Nice!

[James V.R]

Thanks for getting this up , The awards will defiantly come in handy.

[A.C.193]

This is awesome! Actually, it's a very "good" idea.

[Faltzer]

Yeah, there we go. My theme is now perfect.

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

lol Default Medal. Nice system though Faltzer.

[Smash Bro Z]

Neat new idea Faltzer.

[_______]

Nice Award System.

[Sharc]

I want an award... ._.

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

Will everyone have the default award or it's just there for the lulz?

[Faltzer]

That was only testing and "lulz".

[Shellfish Pokémon Kabutops]

Hm... Lessee if this auto-format thing works...

EDIT: Nope, not this time. I'll just have to monkey with it some more then.

[Faltzer]

You haven't even customized it yet.....

[_______]

BAW I want my Award back.

[Shellfish Pokémon Kabutops]

You haven't even customized it yet.....

I did, I entered in the Hex code number FF6600, and chose save. It says it's been activated on my profile...

Unless there's some other step I missed.

[OmegaSlayer]

Dude, I don't know what to say to you. Oh well, I guess a big ol' thanks would suffice.

It somehow doesn't work though, but I'll wait for it.

[Sharc]

I did, I entered in the Hex code number FF6600, and chose save. It says it's been activated on my profile...

Unless there's some other step I missed.

just put in the name of the color not the code

Edit: It only works once then stops working D:

[A.C.193]

I did, I entered in the Hex code number FF6600, and chose save. It says it's been activated on my profile...

Unless there's some other step I missed.
Same here, except I put in the Hex code number #000000.

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Hmm! Let's see here. I've put the color pink and i've asked for Times New Roman on the profile's User CP.

Nuts! It didn't work. Am i doing something wrong for it not to work?

[James V.R]

I'm screwing around with the awards right now , So if you see some weird awards , you know its just me.

[Faltzer]

Everything looks fine to me. I can see your styles just fine.....

Also, it's recommended that you DO use HEX Color Codes, because not all colors are available with their names. While inputting hex color codes, you must also add # right before the color code, else it won't display properly.

[Sharc]

I see white and regular...

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Everything looks fine to me. I can see your styles just fine.....

My style? Where can i see it, because this is a new thing here and it's confusing me at the moment.

*I really hate it when that happens :( *

Also, it's recommended that you DO use HEX Color Codes, because not all colors are available with their names. While inputting hex color codes, you must also add # right before the color code, else it won't display properly.

What's the HEX code for pink?

[Faltzer]

Oh yes, post edited. Yours I can see too.

[Faltzer]

@Eric B., when I meant style, I meant post formatting. Though in this case, what vB forum style are you using?

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

Im using Dark Fantasy.

[Shellfish Pokémon Kabutops]

Well, I'm using the Dark Fantasy skin and styles aren't showing up for me.

I know it's probably obvious, but has this option been enabled for regular members? I can't think of any other reason it would work for you but not anyone else...

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

@Eric B., when I meant style, I meant post formatting. Though in this case, what vB forum style are you using?

What vB... wha...? Oh boy. I don't really know. Do you have some picture example to show me, because the more i ask about it, the more i'm gonna lose my temper here (not to mention get more confused here). And i want to avoid doing that, if you know what i mean, Faltzer.

*looks at Gold Torizo's post*

Oh wait, nevermind. Dark Fantasy is the skin i'm currently using, so what i've input didn't work at all.

[Faltzer]

As I said before, I recommend using color codes. They're much better than color names, because they'll work all the time. Considering that you though, include the # before the 6 character code.

GT: No, this is not usergroup dependent. This is available for all.

[Shellfish Pokémon Kabutops]

Hm, even more peculiar then. Is there some sort of forum option I have to enable to view these? Like how you can turn off sigs/avatars?

[SamsterBoy]

yay awards

[James V.R]

Legend award has been made.

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

As I said before, I recommend using color codes. They're much better than color names, because they'll work all the time. Considering that you though, include the # before the 6 character code.

Uh, okay, but since you're a code expert (and i'm not), can you tell me the code for pink so that i can input it in my User CP profile?

[SamsterBoy]

Legend award has been made.

Thats cool, too bad I ain't Legend. :(

But I'm pissed of with some of the staff here...its nothing big, its just that I recommended bringing back many things from the old forums and change it in some way and you guys refused the idea, but then you guys just bring it back.

I think you guys should start agreeing with me a bit more often.

[OmegaSlayer]

Here you go Eric: #FFC0CB

[Faltzer]

Do you guys by chance.... use IE...?

[SamsterBoy]

Do you guys by chance.... use IE...?

Nah, I use FireFox.

Also, I put the code in and it won't work.

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

Yes. Im currently using IE7.

[OmegaSlayer]

Not me, and it was actually working for a moment too. *sighs*

Ok, it's like turning on and off at times.

[Shellfish Pokémon Kabutops]

Do you guys by chance.... use IE...?

Nope, FireFox for me.

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

I use IE, yes. Is it working for those in IE or for those for Firefox only?

Whoa! Wait a minute. It worked. YAHOO!

Okay, Faltzer, false alarm. Everything's under control now. Yay for pink. :D

What the...? It worked moments ago, but now, it's not. I guess editing the post removes the coding, huh?

[OmegaSlayer]

...Or does it work for one set of group of Browsers? O_o

I had blue, but it cut off on me. This is becoming hilarious. :P

[SamsterBoy]

it still doesn't work for me, and Eric I can't see pink I see white.

Ah, nvm....all that needs to be fixed is that I put my stuff as Italic.

[Faltzer]

The funny thing is, I can view all of your posts and formatting perfectly. =/;

[Sharc]

It keeps on working on and off for me

[SamsterBoy]

It keeps on working on and off for me

I have the same problem too.

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

it still doesn't work for me, and Eric I can't see pink I see white.

Ah, nvm....all that needs to be fixed is that I put my stuff as Italic.

Well, it worked a moment ago, but now it was not no more.

The funny thing is, I can view all of your posts and formatting perfectly. =/;

Well, lucky you, Faltzer.

[Faltzer]

There, does it work now?

[matto insano]

wooo for awards

[James V.R]

I've seen Eric's pink for a long time. I didn't understand what he was talking about.

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

Let's see now. Testing.

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Let's see now.

Seems to be working now. Let's see if it'll stay after i've edited my post.

Yep, it is staying. That's better now, although my letter seems to be small a little. Should i change the font or is it how it works when in Times New Roman?

[SamsterBoy]

ya, but do you see italic with mine?

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

test success. Now I can see COLOURS!!! thx Faltz for fixing...whatever was wrong.

[Rindiny]

Mine works. o_o

[_______]

Where is my Award ._.

[OmegaSlayer]

Testing, testing. One, two, three. *Speaking in Twili* Ahem. Yep, it works.

[Shellfish Pokémon Kabutops]

There, does it work now?

Indeed it does. I dunno what you did, but I can see everybodies syles now.

The forum is a much more colourful place!

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Alright. It seems that our personal posting has got some style. With pink, my devotion for Peach has grown even stronger now.

Thanks for fixing whatever went wrong with it, Faltzer.

[Rindiny]

You need to fix italics and bold thing though.

[Gold Atrocity]

Nice! It works!

[James V.R]

Lol , Always with the peach Eric ;)

[matto insano]

eh, downfall is now we're gonna get all these wacky fonts

[Sharc]

*Speaking in Twili*
o_o

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Lol , Always with the peach Eric ;)

Meh, what i can say? I'm a Peach fan to the end, no matter what anyone says about it.

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

I think the Bold/Italic works.

[Zeo]

Hmm...let's see..

Well I'll be! It works for me.

[matto insano]

bold/italics are like, the only options.

so what do i do if i wanna take it offff

[Faltzer]

Hold on, testing bolds.

[James V.R]

bold/italics are like, the only options.

so what do i do if i wanna take it offff

Erase it from box in your profile , I'm guessing.

[Rindiny]

Actually, just choose the none option.

[James V.R]

Woops , I was thinking about the font. Thanks Rindiny.

[Sharc]

How'about and please stick with me on this one.. Bold.. YES BOLD! and.. AND! Italic..

Crowd 1: *gasp* Together?!
Crowd 2: At the same time?!
Crowd 1+2: BLASPHEMY! TIS A WITCH!

[Gold Atrocity]

This sorta looks weird with the technical stuff showing in our posts...

[Smash Bro Z]

Man you guys and your bold and italics. Hurts my eyes.

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

Your Pink hurts moar.

[Gold Atrocity]

Your Pink hurts moar.
QFT. Seriously why did you that? Your avatar is dark...

[Rindiny]

Green is bettur.

[Smash Bro Z]

I like pink that's why.

[Gold Atrocity]

k.

[Rindiny]

Oh yes guys, italic doesn't work with the options. Only bold. ;~;

[Sharc]

Hey faltz.. One quick question.. for fonts am I able to use wingdings?

[SamsterBoy]

My colors own all urs :P *shot*

[matto insano]

hows this look so far HMMMM

edit: i dont want a personal font thing. whateves

[Gold Atrocity]

hows this look so far HMMMM
Like...normal...

Oh how did you get an award? What's this "award thing?"

[SamsterBoy]

Only Legends get awards, as if they haven't had enough recognition. And, yes I am upset that I ain't one.

[PKMN Trainer Red]

Erm....alright, kool then.

[matto insano]

Only Legends get awards, as if they haven't had enough recognition. And, yes I am upset that I ain't one.

next time

[Gold Atrocity]

Only Legends get awards, as if they haven't had enough recognition. And, yes I am upset that I ain't one.
k. the star looks cool.

[OmegaSlayer]

I have a hunch that you don't have to join the Legends group to get an award though. There are probably going to be different kinds of awards coming soon, but only if the admins will decide on that.

[Moon]

I sure hope Comic sans MS is installed because if not...

**** ya!

[Moon]

My colors own all urs :P *shot*

*Hides Sniper Rifle*

[Sharc]

Wingdings?

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

Oshiz, I was wondering what was up with the colored text. Nice option you have thar.

[Red Blast]

Uhh... whats the code for Red?

and thanks for the color and stuff...

[Moon]

Oh, of course, the code for RED is "gardevoir".

[PKMN Trainer Gold]

^

wth? that doesn't even make sense.

[Moon]

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Legends only gets the awards? Hmm!

[A.C.193]

Uhh... whats the code for Red?

and thanks for the color and stuff...

#FF0000

Link to the site, where you can find the Hex codes. (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors.asp)

BTW, the awards crap reminds me of KWRPG forum. Except you got rewards for sprite contest, for having the best avi, ect.

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

This one (http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html) should go more in-depth with the codes. Just click on the blocks at the top to choose which colors to look through.

[Red Blast]

Thanks Simon193

[Raikugon]

Post Formatting is awesome.

[Moon]

Yes, you indeed look less origional.

[Sharc]

Originality right here monkeys.

[Zeo]

Woot. I'm the only gold user.

[Hoenn Champion Steven Stone]

Woot. I'm the only Gold user.

Also, its w00t.

Two 0's, no caps.

Those are zero's, btw. This font makes them o similar.

[Gold Atrocity]

Is the bold section gone now?

[Hoenn Champion Steven Stone]

Is the bold section gone now?

PING AS FLAVORED BROWNIES

Gee golly gosh, I'm so random. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w268/ahanson_photo/her.png

[A.C.193]

Woot. I'm the only gold user.
I was originally going to use that color, but then it's the color of the legends title...>_>

Gee golly gosh, I'm so random. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w268/ahanson_photo/her.png
Now remember, your the one who said that.

[Moon]

Simon, I can't see your color. PS3SUX

Black post FTW.

OMG ZELDA ACTUALLY SPOKE?!

[Elly]

Text colour successfully hacked out on mozilla firefox.

For those who don't like the whole text colour deal here's a quick hack:


@-moz-document url-prefix(http://vglan.com/) {
span {
color: #ACAEAE!important;
font-weight: normal!important;
font-size: 100%!important;
font: 12px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif!important;
}
}

Take this snippet and place it in a file named userContent.css in the

C:\Documents and Settings\*your username*\Application Data\mozilla\firefoxfox\Profiles\*some number*.default\chrome

folder. If you don't have a userContent.css file, just create it.
You'll need to restart firefox.

Edit: There we go, typeface, boldface and colour done.

Edit: Whoops got the font wrong but hey, fixed now.


Note: stuff like this still works :V so yeah, only the profile colour thing goes, and the colour on peoples names, but that is sacrifice I'm willing to take!!(lol)

[Gym Leader Sabrina]

Hmmm....this is cool.

TANKIES!

[Moon]

Changing the name's colors?

.....

[Elly]

Changing the name's colors?

.....

Like Faltzer has his red "Vglans supreme coder".

[Faltzer]

Like Faltzer has his red "Vglans supreme coder".


This takes away the fun of being staff though. ;~;

[Moon]

Make my name Green. Now.

Arrr, 16,385 > 1,000

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

I agree to the member title color suggestion.

[Faltzer]

No, because it has to be admin set. Imagine the number of users requesting it. ;~;

On the other hand, it'd have to be edited a bit though if I do this, the same style for posts MUST apply for user titles.

[PKMN Trainer Blue]

There's something like that I added on NSF, adds color to the "group" under the avatar, but those codes were added to the skin, not sure about this.

[Moon]

MAKE MY NAME GREEN

RAAAAAAAAAGE

[Faltzer]

No, no colored usernames. Titles only.

[Moon]

**** yes

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

My name seems pink. Well, i don't mind pink, since i'm man enough to admit that i love pink, so i guess seeing my custom title gone pinky on me is, well... pretty peachy. :D

But bottom line is i love the way our custom titles got some color too. I like mine just fine. Good job on that too, Faltzer.

[Faltzer]

Pink is a mans color.

[Big Eater Pokémon Munchlax]

No doubt that Pink is indeed a manly color.

[Moon]

lolno.

[SamsterBoy]

lolno.

lolyes.

[WootNinja!]

Testing...

Is it working?

Good

EDIT: I WANT ITALICS!!!

[The Chaos Master]

w00t.

[SsBB08]

Awesome.
