Help Searching : Full Thread Graphics & Code

[Luxura]

So, I'm new.
I am migrating myself and my friends from GaiaOnline's RP forums over to here. And, right away, the thread systems are pretty different, mainly BBCode.

None of us are savvy in it, so I'm in search of someone willing to help us get started with our new RP Thread!

I'm looking for a full thread layout, plus graphics:

• Cover Post with graphics and links to Profiles, Discord, etc.
• Story Post (Plot synopsis) (Maybe something liken to how this person chose to do their Interest Check) [Tabs are fine]
• Cast Post (Current Characters, Character slots available) [This could be connected to above, tabs are fine]
• Biggest things are that it needs to be able to work with Light and Dark Modes, as well as Mobile
• I'm looking for fullsized, not small widget-like coding boxes where I have to scroll a lot to read stuff. I really want this to be accessible. (This interest Check is a good example of what I mean)

It's a pretty big ask, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it!
Thank you!!

Firstly, I wouldn't begin so big. The things you want to do don't seem overly complicated, but in terms of learning it's usually better to start with simpler stuff and gradually build from there. Even if you are experts with another code, it's best to get the bases first. Plus, simpler code tends to work better in terms of accessibility and working on the different modes, as it adapts better for the different looks.

For that purpose, I recommend going through the site's guides:

Tutorial - RpNation - BBcode Guide

RpNation - BBCode Guide Within this thread you will find information regarding basic BBCode and general information and examples on how to use them. BBCode can be used in creative ways to modify and beautify your posted content. Even if you are not very familiar with CSS/HTML or other coding...

And once you've got a hang of that one...

There's bound to be plenty of trial and error, but that's just how things are.

All this said, if you want I'll help ya make your interest check's code this time around (I'm sure others will make this offer too), so do send me a PM if you'd like that, and we can talk about the details

PS:

links to Profiles, Discord

You're actually not allowed to link your discord on the site, unless it's privately such as a PM. This rule was implemented due to security reasons.
Edit: it seems this wasn't entirely accurate, read below Fable 's statement on the matter.

Just to add, there is also the option to request someone code something for you. There are a few open request threads or you can make a thread asking for specifically what you want and seeing if someone accepts the challenge. There are also freebies alllllll over the BBCode center. Just to confirm Idea 's statement you can only link discord in specific areas (offsite, OOC thread, PMs).

We also have the Resource - BBCode Center Directory & Information for a running collection of guides and workshops (though it hasn't been updated in some time).

Thank you all very much for your help
I will definitely look into the resources!
