Okay, I was just thinking about adding a few new codes. The ones I want are [background] and...I have no idea what to call this... [wrap] or [float].

The [background] one is pretty self-explanatory.

[background=*image url or color hex code*] Text that goes on the background goes here. [/background]

This code would make a background image or color repeat itself to fit the amount of text you type.



The other one probably needs an explanation. Basically, it goes like this:

[floatleft=*image url*] Type text or put other stuff here. Anything here wraps around the image that's floating. If you put floatleft, if will stay on the left of the page of whatever line you put it on, and text will appear to the left of it. The same applies to floatright and floatmiddle, the two other ways of typing the code. [/floatleft]

So, in essence, it would work like this:

..........Image............................................................Text..........
_______________________
|............................................|Type text or put other stuff here. Anything here
|............................................|wraps around the image that's floating. If you put
|............................................|floatleft, if will stay on the left of the page of
|............................................|whatever line you put it on, and text will appear to
|............................................|the left of it. The same applies to floatright and
|............................................|floatmiddle, the two other ways of typing the code.
|............................................|And if you keep typing enough
|______________________|to type past the image,
it would just appear below the image and go across the page as normal. Do you get what I'm saying, now?




Okay, as an edit, I want [table] added. Basically, it works like this:

[table] (Starts the table)
[tr] (Starts a row)
[td] (Defines the first cell in the first row) [/td]
[td] (Defines the second cell in the first row) [/td]
[td] (Defines the third cell in the first row) [/td]
[/tr] (Ends the row)
[tr] (Starts the second row)
[td] (Defines the first cell in the second row) [/td]
[td] (Defines the second cell in the second row) [/td]
[td] (Defines the third cell in the second row) [/td]
[/tr] (Ends the second row)
[/table] (Ends the table)

This would end up as a table with 2 rows, and 3 columns, with a total of 6 cells.

I really support the float left/right one. I remember seeing this in another forum and it just made signatures look even more pretty. *_* Background would be nice too, though I would use the float one more than background.

I give my support for table and float codes. I'd love the float code a bit more because I use more images, and it would make things a lot easier when I get to making a post that's for all of my characters.

I don't really support the background code, though. I've seen a couple of sites use this code, and it winds up becoming a mess with most of the people using it not thinking about color coordination at all. (Mainly they just don't add a color code to their posts and the original text color just blends in to the background, and they don't care)

Full support especially with the background. I would love to use certain colors, but I don't because they are impossible to see on this blue background.

I also love the float image idea. It would make posts with images better to look at.

Not sure what the use would be in a table, though it would be interesting to see how people would use the code.

So yeah, full support.

The table I think would be useful for trade threads and shiny hunting threads. It's easy to list usernames, prices, and objects that are being sold, and makes it easy to scan over and read.

EDIT: Also in clans/fanclubs, it could list members and ranks, especially in video game fanclubs like the Animal Crossing one, it would be useful to list username/town name/friend code, etc. in an organized and easy to read layout.

I really like the "Background" code. Really, It can be something for user to change their theme in a post or their about me

As for the [float] code, I suggest making it a CSS-liked code so that it can be modified easily. Because you can choose the exact position you wanted. <css=float: left; margin-right: 190px; margin-top: 40px;>
The margin right is to adjust how many the image is away from the Right hand side, and the margin top is for the height. If someone wants to make it float right, the code just need some minor change, "Float; left" becomes "Float; Right" and "Margin-right" becomes "Margin-Left".
CSS code can also make background image, just to say :P

I really like the table code, really. It will be real good for people to display price from their shop, or hunts spots or whatever ^^
