[col][b][u]What Is Lorem Ipsum?[/u][/b]
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

[b][u]Where Does It Come From?[/u][/b]
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.| [b][u]Why Do We Use It?[/u][/b]
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

[b][u]Where Can I Get Some?[/u][/b]

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.[/col]

The Font code allows Users to exploit the many wonderful Fonts available on a computer in their posts.
The only drawback is that the viewers must have the same font(s) installed on their own computers.

Code: Select all

[font=Verdana]Testing (Verdana)[/font] Testing (Normal)

Testing (Verdana) Testing (Normal)

Code: Select all

[font=Comic Sans MS]Testing (Comic Sans MS)[/font] Testing (Normal)

Testing (Comic Sans MS) Testing (Normal)

This next one probably looks weird or not different to you because you do not have the proper Font installed.

Code: Select all

[font=AURABESH]Testing (AURABESH)[/font] Testing (Normal)

Testing (AURABESH) Testing (Normal)

But if you download the proper font HERE and then install it. Refresh this page, you should be able to see the Coruscanti Font used in Star Wars (the Alien text).

The Forum code allows you to have a link to a Forum Search of the text you selected. So if you are making a post and want to be user friendly, you would place the Forum code around Names, Phrases, Ships, Planets, and such that new users may not be familiar with, and allow them to quickly and easily conduct a Forum search.

Code: Select all

[forum]Search[/forum]

The Leave code allows you to make the user confirm if he/she wants to leave the page/site. This can prevent mishaps of starting to read a post, and then accidentally moving off of the page. It also allows for further protection of our users, by forcing them to double check where they are going when they leave the site, potentially keeping them from malicious web pages.

The Image Sized Code allows a user to post an image, but resize it so that the image does not stretch the page width or just be so big that it takes forever to load.
It also hyperlinks the smaller image to the full sized image, so when you click on the smaller version, you will view the larger version in another tab/window.
