Post Animated Text
Users would be able to animate text with this BBCode that I learned of on Speedtrap's forums. I edited the code to allow you to change the color that it flashes on my own forums and the code is as follows:
Code:
<head>
<script language="javascript">
   // Flooble.com's Animated Text script. Will animate a specified
   // bit of text (determined by the ID of containing tag) by
   // highlighting it with specified color one character at a time
   // in a moving pattern.
   //
   // Summary of use:
   //     call animate(tagID, color); where "tagID" is the ID
   //     of the tag that contains text to be animated,
   //     and "color" is the color to use to highlight the text with.
   //
   // For more information, and detailed instructions, see
   //     http://www.flooble.com/scripts/animate.php
   //
   // Copyright (c) 2002 by Animus Pactum Consulting Inc.

   // for any damages resulting from its use.

        var ie4 = false;
        if(document.all) {
                ie4 = true;
        }       
        function setContent(name, value) {
                var d; 
                if (ie4) {
                        d = document.all[name];
                } else {
                        d = document.getElementById(name);
                }       
                d.innerHTML = value;   
        }       

   function getContent(name) {
      var d;
                if (ie4) {
                        d = document.all[name];
                } else {
                        d = document.getElementById(name);
                }
                return d.innerHTML;
   }

        function setColor(name, value) {
                var d; 
                if (ie4) {
                        d = document.all[name];
                } else {
                        d = document.getElementById(name);

                        d = document.getElementById(name);
                }
                return d.style.color;
        }

        function animate(name, col) {
      var value = getContent(name);
      if (value.indexOf('<span') >= 0) { return; }
      var length = 0;
                var str = '';
      var ch;
      var token = '';
      var htmltag = false;   
                for (i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
         ch = value.substring(i, i+1);
         if (i < value.length - 1) { nextch = value.substring(i+1, i+2); } else { nextch = ' '; }
         token += ch;

                           str += '<span id="' + name + '_' + length + '">' + token + '</span>';
            token = '';
            length++;
         }
                }
                setContent(name, str);
                command = 'animateloop(\'' + name + '\', ' + length + ', 0, 1, \'' + col + '\')';
                setTimeout(command , 100);
        }

        function animateloop(name, length, ind, delta, col) {
      var next = ind + delta;
      if (next >= length) { delta = delta * -1; next = ind + delta; }
      if (next < 0) { delta = delta * -1; next = ind + delta; }
                setColor(name + '_' + ind, getColor(name + '_' + next));
                setColor(name + '_' + next, col);
                command = 'animateloop(\'' + name + '\', ' + length + ', ' + next + ', ' + delta + ', \'' + col + '\')';
                setTimeout(command , 100);
        }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span ID="animate">{TEXT}</span>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
   animate('animate', '{COLOR}');
</SCRIPT>
</body>
Here, you can see it work.
Man, I wouldn't be surprised if I soon found this in the Declined Ideas topic.

:headbang: :snack: :bump:

Cause they're smileys. Do you know whats a smiley?

Anyways i think the forum text idea is plain stupid but yet a good design. We don't need animating text to post stuff around these forums. Sorry but this ain't helping

Well this is a useless idea.

I did, just not entirely, as i said, i wasn't able to process all that stuff, after reading for a while i started skipping the rest of the code, and since the part you quoted came from after the Code, i skipped it without noticing it.
still, thanks for telling me though.

Can I point out that this will only be used by idiots who spam pages of it, potentially giving people seizures? You KNOW it's going to be flashy, admit it.

Can we change the "NO" option to "f*** NO"? I can't object strongly enough to this retarded idea.
