Resource How do I...? (Pies board Q & A, handy hints, tips, useful stuff)

Only IF I said That

That is the [TD ] [/TD] tag.

You can change the size of the font by using the [size][/size] tags.

Typing ...

[size=8]Size=8[/size]
[size=7]Size=7[/size]
[size=6]Size=6[/size]
[size=5]Size=5[/size]
[size=4]Size=4[/size]
[size=3]Size=3[/size]
[size=2]Size=2[/size]
[size=1]Size=1[/size]

... renders as ...

Size=8
Size=7
Size=6
Size=5
Size=4
Size=3
Size=2
Size=1

As you can see from the example above, size 7 is the largest size, anything bigger than 7 gets set to 7

It's a good idea not to go too crazy with this one. Less is more

But I would like think no one would be that stupid to seriously think a trick like that can bypass mods and admins.

Haha, you'd be surpsrised!

The mods have probably seen it all!

How to make a meme and post it ...

Step 1: Go to https://imgflip.com/memegenerator . There are plenty of meme generators out there, this is just one example. Maybe one day Chief will embed one into BigFooty

Step 2: Click on "Upload your own image" and follow the prompts

Step 3: Enter the top and/or bottom line text in the labelled fields

Step 4: Click on "Generate Meme"

Step 5: A pop up will appear, it will have a text box with contents next to the label "BB Code (Forums)". Copy the contents of that text box.

Step 6: Paste it in your post, et voila! you've just made and posted a meme!

How do you post a gif?

Step 1: Google "Wierd animated gif"

Step 2: Click on "Images" at the top of the Google search results page.

Step 3: Click on your favourite image

Step 4: Copy it (on an iPad hold-down press on the screen, and select "copy")

Step 5: Open up a new browser window, and 'paste' into the address bar and enter - the image should appear in the browser by itself.

Step 6: Copy the contents of the address bar that you've just pasted (seems like a long winded way to go about it, but, well, that's just the way it works)

Stem 7: In a BigFooty post, type "[img]" then paste what you copied from the address bar, followed by "[/img]", and it should render as ...

Ever come across stuff on here that you've got NFI what it means?

For example when people use abbreviations like "IIRC" or "EFA" or "TL;DR"

Simply google "Urban Dictionary" followed by what it is you want to know.

For example:

How to split a quote up ...

Step 1: Click on 'reply' just as you usually do ...

[quote="76woodenspooners"]Some rubbish

Yet more rubbish[/quote]

Which would normally render like this ...

Some rubbish

Yet more rubbish

Step 2: Type "[/quote]" at the END of any section you want a quote to finish, so it now looks like this ...

[quote="76woodenspooners"]Some rubbish[/quote]

Yet more rubbish[/quote]

Step 3: Type "[quote]" at the START of any new section you want a quote to start, so it now looks like this ...

[quote="76woodenspooners"]Some rubbish[/quote]

[quote]Yet more rubbish[/quote]

Step 4: You can now type reply stuff in between the new quoted sections, so it now looks like this ...

[quote="76woodenspooners"]Some rubbish[/quote]

reply stuff

[quote]Yet more rubbish[/quote]

All that should all now render like this ...

Some rubbish

reply stuff

Yet more rubbish

How do I avoid a feeling of deja vu when I read the threads?

How do you post a gif?

I do it a bit differently from 76. I go and find a gif (for instance from this site), open one, right click on 'copy image', then copy into my post, like this.

 

[Vicky Park]

I also do multiple or split quotes a bit differently, but from the same thread.

I highlight the part of the post I want to quote from, e.g. the part-quote below from 76's post above (#59). Then I click on 'reply'. The part quote appears in my post screen; I hit 'return' to create some space and then have something to say about the quote; then I hit 'return' again and go back to highlight, 'reply' and quote another part of his post. You can also add quotes from other posts this way.

Why try to avoid it? Embrace it, go with the flow, seek it out. Its so much more enjoyable that way.

This is a much easier way!

I think this only works when using a PC / Mac? It doesn't seem to work for iOS?

You may be right. I use a PC.
