new skin coming soon!

New Skin!

It's about that time again and this time around we are celebrating the Christmas spirit. Just like the Halloween skin with its dark colors and creepy font this skin will be light and will represent the colors and styles of the winter season. For those of you with bright screens it is suggested to dim the brightness if the site appears to bright.

New Features Coming Soon

• New Avatar size! Due to the new mini-profile template layout we have increased the Avatar size to 200x300.
• Now we allow for our members to post both their Character Bio and their Plotter in the mini-profile seen in threads for easier access. To apply your links simply place the link in the designated text box on your Edit Profile > Personal page in a link format.
• Color smear. Now we have the option to turn our plain text into colors that fade into another color! A prime example is your account name. To use this in posts please follow these instructions:
  

  <*span class="smear" startcolor="#FF0000" endcolor="#00FF00" smearmode="1">This is some text to smear<*/span>
  OR
  <*div class="italic smear" startcolor="#123456" endcolor="#654321">This is some other text to smear, that also has an italic class<*/span>
  Try to keep smear class around just objects with text to prevent weird bugs. sometimes nested tags inside confuse the engine.

• Color Palette. Along with the default color wheel you now have the option of saving your favorite colors for later use with just one click. You can find this in the Font Color button above.
• Any unread notifications will now also appear in your browser tab with the number of notifications beside the site name.
• Tabbed Sections in Posts is now available to Proboards users. It is fairly simple to use but I will try to explain how to as best as I can.
  

  The table itself is controlled by this:
  [*PTabbedContent]CONTENT HERE[*/PTabbedContent].
  
  If you wish to give the table a name then you would set it up like this:
  [*PTabbedContent=TABLE NAME].
  
  To make your tabs within the table, you must add these between the PTabbedContent tabs and as many as you want tabs in your table:
  [*PTab=TABNAME][*/PTab].
  
  Your tab name cannot have any digits or punctuation marks, only alphabetical letters. Whatever you want within your tabs should be between the tab codes. If you want to style your content, add a div style around your content but WITHIN the tab codes. You can also do this for the overall table itself. At the end of each UBBC code, you can add your CSS. It will not work if you add it to the beginning of the code because that is where it registers the name of the tab or table:
  [*/PTabbedContent={CSSHERE}] or [*/PTab={CSSHERE}].
  
  The Presto plugin that will be explained after this can also be used within the Tabbed Table. However! You can only add the presto to the FIRST tab and not the second or third because it will not appear. It is advised to refrain from using either of these in a code box. Also noteworthy is that the tabbed tables or presto codes will not work in preview! So if you click preview and see that it isn't working, don't freak out! Just post your table and edit it again to add your changes.

• Presto Box. The Presto plugin is a plugin that allows you to place a hover effect within your posts and allows content to fade in over the top of an image.
  

  The basic structure is:
  [presto*][img*]content to appear over image[*/presto]
  
  Also note that your image must be the image itself and not a div style and and image background within that div.
  
  However this doesn't look as good until you add a background color behind your text:
  [presto*][img*][*div style="background-color:#ffffff;"]content to appear over image[*/div][*/presto]
  
  You can add css to it as you would any other template but it is advised to include a 30px padding to ensure that your content is not at the top left of your image, so it is more centered and aligned both vertically and horizontally. As stated above the Presto plugin can be placed within a Tabbed Table. Just make sure you still keep the same format like above, the image and then the content.
  
  Also just as the Tabbed Table the Presto plugin will not work in the Preview tab so don't freak out, just post your table and edit as you see fit.
