Title: Font Size Being Wonky
Post by: Dangeryena on November 27, 2015, 07:39:45 pm
I know how to use forum BBC just fine, but I seem to get stupidly unlucky with weird issues, it seems. (Or maybe this is normal, don't use the forum too much, tbh, lmao.)

Whenever I try to change the font size, it's fine unless I do things like center some text. Then it doesn't work anymore and you can just see the [/font] at the end of the post. Also, I have a few spoilers in one post and even though I make it so that the font should affect the entire post, it only affects the text above the spoiler. Dunno if that's normal.

Any idea how to fix this? I sort of can't finish my thread in the Character & Roleplay Tutorials until I can figure out what's going on.

Did ye' by chance miss the 'pt' after your size? I know you said you know how to use it, but it can be a common mistake.
Other than that, do you by chance have a screenshot of said bug? It might help us understand the situation better and give us more room to find the the solution~

The
tag isn't needed by the BBC anymore, hence why you see it as plain text instead of it not showing. You can delete it if it gets annoying.

I don't use the ending of the code unless I will be using a different size font later in the post. It does this 'cause ye already 'ave a [/ font] at the end from the centering of the text, so 'tis just a copy. As f'er the spoiler issue, 'tis the coding that blocks out the coding in the beginning of y'er post, so ye will 'ave to re-add the coding inside the spoiler; no way 'round it.

Hope this helps ye, deary!

Hi. Maybe It has someting to do with the newest events. I reccomend you to go and read about what happened in News and events, then thread hacking. You can also find much more help in game discussion. Hope It helped ;-)

The font on my screen disappeared and only appeared when I highlighted it. And like the person above me said, I think it might have to do with recent events.

the hacking incident only happened in-game though.

i'd not mention it anymore on this thread.

That puts my mind at ease, thank you by the way

yeah, it's most likely a site glitch.

i'm not 100% sure about the font size issue, can you describe it with more detail? what are you trying to do with your text?

if you want to make some effects to some text in a spoiler, then you should remark the text inside the spoiler with code.

I do have "pt" after the number, and even if I remove the [/size], it'd still not actually change the font size.

Because the top text is centered, my text does not resize and shows [/size] at the end.

Don't see any errors here.

This is the post without me centering the top text. This is the size it's actually supposed to be, aka the size is working, but I want the text centered.

In this, I removed [/size], but it doesn't solve the issue.

Try to put the BBC code for size inside the code for centering the text.

Ah, ok. I did that, and it's still sort of weird, but I guess that's just how this forum rolls. However, I can get it to work, at least. Thank you~
