Glowing Text BBCode · **Released**: 08-30-2006

Okay, since I know some people have a hard time trying to get their text to glow, I've decided that I'm gonna put this up.

NOTE: I've received some complaints about the code not working. This is only because: A, you are putting something else in the option while using the Tag other than a valid Colour (Either by name of #CSS) or B, you are using Firefox, a non-compatible browser to many things of vBulletin and special HTML tags.

Right, goto your ACP:
Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code

Now, type as the following:
Title:

Code:

Glowing Text

Tag:

Code:

glow

Replacement:

HTML Code:

<div style="font-size:12px;letter-spacing:normal;font-style:normal;font-family:verdana;color:#ffffff;filter:Glow(color={option},strength=5);height:22px;">{param}</div>

Example:

Code:

[glow=green]This is radioactive![/glow]

Description:

Code:

This BBCode will allow you to make your text glow. It will only work in Internet Explorer.

Use {option}:

Code:

Yes

Button Image:

Code:

images/editor/glow.gif

For the button image, download the image in the .zip attachment and upload it to FORUMDIR/images/editor

I hope you enjoy this code and use it well!

Yeah - this bbcode has been posted several times now (here and vb.com) and nobody really used it ... (no offence of course) - its just that 92% don't use IE ... at least according to the stats of my forum (1600 member)

People don't use IE because Number 1, they follow the crowd and Number 2, the people who told everyone to switch to FF in the first place are paranoid. There is nothing actually wrong with IE. The only thing wrong is when people go browing to places they shouldn't be browsing to. I don't use FF because it's worshipless pap. Trust me. If you want tabs and etc... get IE 7. Even MORE secure than FF.

Believe it or not, vB was supposed to be used with IE, if you want the extra stuff working.
Try editing the templates in your ACP on Firefox, now look at the same page in IE. You get the picture...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
