How do you get it?

Bootsy Whoosh · 03-08-2002, 03:06 PM

I was wondering about that too!

And the bouncing text. I know Amanda gave the HTML tags for it awhile back, but HTML doesn't work here. Anyone know the vB code for it?

Also, how do you guys get your siggys to be centered, like how Karli and Delta Burke Forever have the pictures in their siggy centered?

CENTER-

<center> </center>

The scrolling text is a Marquee code-

<marquee> [enter writing here] </marquee>

and like Jenny said, <center> </center> is the HTML code for centering.

That marquee thing doesn't work for me! What am I doing wrong? This is driving me nuts!

Hmmm.... That's weird. All you have to do is put

<marquee> before the letters you want scrolling, and </marquee> after them

I don't know what your doing wrong

Well if you really want it, I guess I could try for you. Tell me what you want scrolling and what colors and stuff and I could PM it to you. -shrugs-

Just let me know

Thanks, but don't worry about it. It's not important. Thing is, that wee gray box at the bottom of the page - "Forum Rules" - says HTML is off. Is that my problem, you think?

Ok, no problem.

And, the HTML thing... that can't be it, because it says it on mine too but I have the scrolling thing in my siggy. Hm. Sorry

Hope you get it soon.

Bootsy Whoosh · 03-08-2002, 07:09 PM

Mossopp, you're not the only one who can't get it to work. I tried to get it to work the other day and it didn't.

<marquee>Test</marquee>
[marquee]Test[/marquee]
<center>Test</center>
Test

See?

Nevermind. I was just posting for a test-drive.

Marquee will only work in your signatures, HTML code is not allowed within the actual body of messages. You have to use the vB Code within messages.

I was using marquee in my signature - but it didn't work! It just showed up looking the exact way I typed it - "[marquee] [/marquee]"!!

You don't type it like that. You type <marquee> and </marquee> in your signature. Not [marquee] and [/marquee]
