Short explanation: You can never post an image from the direct links on an image board like Danbooru or Zerochan, only from a made-for-uploading site like Photobucket. Size has nothing to do with it.

Long: Its cuz Danbooru/etc they pay to host their own images on their site, and make their $ of you being on their site, ads and whatnot. When you repost their images from their site onto another site it costs them the money to show the image and they will delete the link you used eventually and they get no revenue that way. Video sites don't mind hotlinking vids, probably since you still see their ads through the embedded video.

You probably mean highlight code, it does exist on other sites but I've never seen it on this one and variations of it don't work here. If you see someone use it on MAL link me to it please; I can rip it from their post and add it to these.

I don't think I follow what you're saying exactly but you by compiled images you probably mean a profile graphic like this, right? (covered-in-mist's profile). Use the profile graphic tutorial video from front page to make a profile graphic, unless you already know how to-

When you make your profile graphic, leave in a square where you want the player thats 425px wide and 355px high. When you upload the profile graphic pics, instead of uploading that square embed a youtube video where that square was before you sliced the profile into pieces.

Does that make sense? its hard to explain without pics lol

You don't have .jpg at the end. So the site doesn't know its an image when you put it in IMG tags

code should be=
[url=http://s06.flagcounter.com/more/Ou][img]http://s06.flagcounter.com/countxl/Ou/bg_F82BFF/txt_020D0D/border_1030CC/columns_2/maxflags_20/viewers_0/labels_0/pageviews_1/flags_0/.jpg[/img][/url]

Is there anyway to fix this
Line 1:[*spoiler][*center]blah blah[/center][/spoiler]
Line 2:[*center]blah[/center]
I put it on a separate line but for some reason line 2 would be added to the spoiler that i made for line 1

There are some issues with centering in spoilers but I don't know about it completely- I'd recommend asking in support instead where there are more ppl with in-depth BBcode knowledge:

I have a similar problem with centering ordered lists. Whenever I put an ordered list between [center] tags, the numbers are remain left aligned while only the text is centered.

Example said:

My list
  1. Option 1
  2. Option 2
  3. Option 3
  4. Option 4


Any idea how I can fix that? for unordered lists, all I have to do is remove the [list] tags and the bullets become centered.

Edit: I'm using chrome btw.

Hi, how do you justify text to the left of an image to the right?
[left*] and [*right] are not working for me, every time I do this, [left*] appears to have an error and the text is pushed upwards or below the image to the right.

You probably want the (I think new) img align code:
[img align=right]
which seems to put the image on the right of the text following the image. It replaces the first normal img tag that goes in front of the image url. You can quote her post to see it in effect better, (click the link above her sig). Other than that I haven't really looked at this code much

Update on how to make bb code visible for copy:

before you close a bb code tag you add the [i][/i]

eg: [img[i][/i]][/img]
result: [img][/img]

also if you dont want links to be clickable add [i][/i] inside http

eg ht[i][/i]tps://www.google.com
result: https://www.google.com

Your screenshot isn't showing but I see it after editing it.

You need to put text in between the URL tags. Example:

[url=https://myanimelist.net/profile/PrincessSerenity] your text here[/url]

this would make:

your text here

After the equal sign, you put the page you want to link to. In between the tags, you put the text that you want to see on the page. So you can add this:

[url=https://myanimelist.net/animelist/PrincessSerenity]My AnimeList[/url] * [url=https://myanimelist.net/mangalist/PrincessSerenity]My MangaList[/url]


For this:

My AnimeList * My MangaList

When you post the IMG for them just stack the IMG codes either next to each other or on top of each other with the Enter key

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
They're heart characters, you just copy and paste them like regular keyboard characters (numbers and alphabet); they don't get made with BBcode. There's other characters like music notes you can paste like this. This user probably turned them pink like with [ color ] tags, I'll turn them red:

These look like text links combined with bold tag, which are both in the opening post. So they just typed "Acid" for example, put it in the text link and bold

[b][url=]Acid[/url][/b]


and then put whatever link they want after url=

I dont know what you mean, are you saying you can't use the tips? I'll just get the sizes for you if you can't do it:

spoiler is 21 pixels high and changes width based on how many words are put in it
youtube player is 425 pixels high and 325 pixels high
