This page has been updated for v5 forum software. It will take some time to update all the pages of the Technical Forum.
Table 1: New things learned about the v5 forum software.
| 1. | Stopping linked videos from automatically becoming embedded videos | Set Auto Embed Video Links to Off in Admin, Settings, Forum Settings, a global setting. |
| 2. | Embed a video | [video][b]Some-URL[/b][/video]](Note: The video tag replaces the youtube tag of v4.) |
| 3. | Set text size | [font size="Some number"]Some text[/font] |
| 4. | Center text | [div align="center"]Some text[/div] |
| 5. | Escape from UBBC (prevents UBBC from executing) | Method 1: Easiest, but not natural looking. Enclose the escaped material in code tags ([code] and [/code]). This gives an unnatural appearance as the code tags set off the material as can be seen at the right in the video tags example of Row 2, above. Method 2: Best looking, but tedious. Insert the zero-width non-joiner entity (‌) between each tag's content and its opening brackets ([) like this: [‌video][‌/video] Note: In the Preview and BBCode views of a post, the break tag is invisible once the post is previewed or saved, but it is there! Use the backspace key to erase it while invisible. |
| 6. | Carriage return in table cell. | [br] Note: In the Preview and BBCode views of a post, the above break tag is invisible once the post is previewed or saved, but it is there! Use the backspace key to erase it while invisible. |
| 7. | Table borders (around every cell in tabel) | Replace the table data tag ([‌td]) for each cell with:[td style="border:1px solid #a9a9a9;padding:3px;"]The 1 px draws the border, the #a9a9a9 sets its color, and the 3 px spaces everything away from the border. This table, Table 1, has borders. As an example of a borderless table, see Table 2, below. |
