I'll basically just be giving an example of what everything does with the code below it, because I'm lazy and am not good at writing humorous & entertaining filler text. Also, most/all of these can be combined to make things look [b]new![/b] and [s]improved![/s][b]exciting![/b] I've updated it so that you can now use the find function (Ctrl + F or Apple + F for most people) to search for specific terms so that you don't have to scroll through the whole thing all the time. I don't think I've anticipated [i]everybody's[/i] searches, but I've tried. I do try to keep this up to date, but if you find that something isn't working, please ping me (find out how below! like way below. like all the way at the bottom of this post below) and I'll get back to you as soon as I can (it might take a while, because I really suck at replying quickly, but I'll try). [b]The first bunch of codes are non-FR-specific, meaning that you'd be able to use them on most websites. After these, there will be some FR-specific codes. These are only available for use on FR.[/b] **I suck at replying quickly. If anybody sees a question they know the answer to, feel free to respond, especially if I don't.

Thanks to siuyiu for catching that I was missing this, and to Eclipsa for extra information about its usage! [code=Item Icon][item=INSERT ITEM NAME HERE][/code] Example: [item=Poet's Tam] [item=Whisperer's Cowl] [code][item=Poet's Tam] [item=Whisperer's Cowl][/code] [color=transparent]user icon, link to user profile, clickable user icon[/color] [user=Aisumoka] [code=User Icon][user=INSERT USER'S NAME HERE][/code] [color=transparent]link accent, link skin, linking accent, linking skin[/color] [skin=7308][skin=7319] Accents and skins can now be linked! You can use the same code for either. [code][skin=INSERT ITEM NUMBER HERE][/code] [s]If you don't know how to find a skin's item number, simply mouse over the skin or accent. The ID number will be written in the bottom corner of the info box![/s] Apparently that's no longer an available feature, so now you can just right click on the image of the skin or accent and click "copy image url" (or whichever variant of it shows up for you, like possibly "copy image address"). If you paste that somewhere, it should get you a link that looks very much like this: http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/skins/7308.png The number at the end (right before the .png) is the skin or accent's item number. For the above, it would be 7308, so the code to display that skin (which happens to be Skin: Dioptase) would be [code][skin=7308][/code] Alternatively and more simply, you can now link skins and accents in the same way you would any other item (see above for instructions). The only downside to this is the fact that it does not allow you (or other users) to click on the skin/accent and preview how it would look on your own dragons. Example: [item=Skin: Kitedancer] [item=Accent: Lightburst Flora] [code][item=Skin: Kitedancer] [item=Accent: Lightburst Flora][/code] [color=transparent]ping, alert when mentioned, mention, notification[/color] @aisumoka This is a ping! It'll alert people that you've mentioned them in a post. However, sometimes it glitches and doesn't actually give them an alert (though it normally does and you should expect it to). If you want somebody to notice that you're talking to them, use this. If you click on the name of a ping, it should lead you to that person's profile page. [code=ping]@INSERT USERNAME OF PERSON HERE[/code] To link a dragon, go to the dragon's profile page and click on the generate code button (below the energy bar and next to the tweet button). Copy and paste the BBCode wherever you want to show your dragon off in FR! Thank you to agonius for the suggestion of this addition. If anybody catches any mistakes I've made or has something to add that's not on this list already, please ping me and tell me so I can fix it. ovo;; [size=2]*Some BBCode tags that may work on other sites might not work on FR, and vice versa.[/size] ----- [size=7][font=Candara]Defunct Codes[/font][/size] Because apparently they take codes out as well as put them in.....please contact me if you find out that there's a different tag for these or if they've been reinstated!

I was looking for exactly this and wasn't really expecting to find it here and then BAM you just posted this. I'm kinda weirded out, but thanks!

Edit: I still come here often! Thanks again!

@siuyiu That is very useful! I completely forgot about that one, thanks for the note! c:

@aisumoka
Ah, awesome, thanks for this :D
Do you know if there's a youtube-embedding method that can be used with BBCode?

@IndigoCrow
As far as I know, there's no way to embed videos on FR. However, there may be a way on other sites and/or a way on FR that I just haven't tested yet. If you'd like, I can shoot you a ping/PM if I ever figure out how to do that ovo;;

@aisumoka
Haha, alright, thaks! xD

@aisumoka is there a way to create a spoiler??
