Can I use HTML?
No. Dance All Night does not currently support HTML in posts. For information on how to post links and enhance your text see the BBCode section below.
Using BBCode
The forum is equipped with a basic text editor that can change font to bold, italic, underlined, big, small, or colored. It can also insert pictures, links, lists, quoted text, code boxes, and a code eraser. The last icon is for other areas of the website, and isn't used in the forums.
When posting, there is also a link at the bottom that explains all the BBCode used on this site. PLEASE GO HERE for further help in getting the look you want. In the post below this one, Toyo has posted some examples of things that our version of BBCode currently supports.
