Things to note.

- Defaults to center alignment

Backgrounds

Backgrounds was the latest feature to be added to the bbcode update. After many complained about losing the ability to have sexy profiles. (me included.
I like to use a site called Transparent textures I would suggest checking them out, if you havent already.

After testing, the background tag,
img=YourURL & color=#YourColor Cannot contain spaces before and after the =

Pictued above: example of working use, using the background tag.


Alignment

Alignment by default it aligned to center, alternatively you can align to the left or right, depending on your preference.

This is center aligned.(default)


This is left aligned.


This is right aligned.

Pictured above: example of alignments

Links / URLs

Links / URLS are relatively simple, however, i would suggest that the code is relatively clean.
What do i mean by that?
Notice how, you get links in certain events? Good.. you play TORN xD

What you get regularly is..

This.... Now thats messy and seems to break the background tag, why, i cant tell you.. but it does.
so keep it clean..

Like this, minimal formatting.

URLs are added with the current markup of.

Images

Width and height are set in px(pixel) dimensions. Must not contain px or will break



Thats it for now, here are some examples of BBcode. I'll add more upon request and when i have some more time.
Please dont hesitate to message me if you are stuck with your profiles.

Just a question, sorry upfront.
How would be the background at forum signature? Looks like is different the code, right?
_____ [2101367] · #16 · edited
The images in the original post are dead, and as far as I can tell this is the only place in Torn people were referred to to see what the BBCode for background images was (it's not in the Wiki).

Anyone know the cheat codes for background images on profile signatures?

Also curious about the images piece, OP indicates width and height can be set, but that's not in the Wiki and their image here is dead too.

I’ll help you out give me a moment mate

edit:
seems you can’t type the code in normally but substitute the () for

Start:(div
 
)

End: (/div)

 

edit 2024: this is what Im using now, updating due to some questions about the previous code. I dont believe anything referencing bg or /bg is relevant anymore thanks to html text editors. 

I havent updated the background of this post but in checking the code, it was updated to HTML automatically. The example above is the code in my profile sig.

 

~~you can also abbreviate using (/bg) not sure if that works with starting it though. I’ll go ahead and apply this here for proof. I highly reccomend using the site in the example to get the images and you can also get colors off of there. This is the code in my profile sig.~~
