Whilst most other BBcode buttons automatically add the corresponding code to the post editor window, Font Colour first opens a subwindow containing a colour wheel and blank colour pallet. Font colour is assigned by choosing the appropriate hue/shade from the wheel, or pasting a hex code into the provided box, then selecting ‘ok’. At this point, the code shown above will be entered into your post.

Since we recognise that some users may like to colour-code their characters’ speech, TCE allows its users to save up to 18 colours to their account. These will be displayed within the colour picker’s pallet, as shown below.

To save a colour, you must select the appropriate hue/shade from the colour wheel (or provide the appropriate hex), then click the +Fave button. This automatically adds the colour to a blank pallet slot, allowing it be re-selected in future. To use a saved colour, simply click its square within the pallet. To delete a colour from your pallet you must first click the ‘delete’ button, and then select the appropriate colour.

Should you use the colour picker two+ times within a post, you’ll find that the window will include a previously used colours section. This works similarly to the colour pallet, in that it allows you to select colours used within that post without remembering the hex or readjusting the colour wheel. However, this section only works in BBCode view, and is cleared when users exit the post-editor page, so remember to save your colours to the pallet if you intend to use them regularly!

Justified

All of TCE’s boards are set to automatically justify any text that has not been given an alignment, meaning that there should be no need for you to use this code tag.

Clicking the image button will bring up the popup shown below, and provide the option to include a text alternative. It will also produce a longer code that will allow you to tweak the size of the image displayed.

Clicking the hyperlink button will produce the popup shown below. There are no added advantages to using the button, though it may be more convenient in some instances.

This code allows users to draw a horizontal line across the page, and can be used as an easy means of dividing posts into individual sections. It’s particularly useful when formatting character profiles!

A coding extra that allows users to include their post’s word count directly in the post. It currently has no particular function on TCE, but may be a nice addition for some users.
