Forum Symbols

(Thanks to oooKITTYooo and BrunetteBunny for their invaluable help!)

Here are the symbols which do and do not work in the Miss Bimbo Forums. If you see nothing or � for any particular character, it means that character does not work at MissBimbo.

To insert a special character into the forum, profile comment, or PM, copy-and-paste from this chart.

To insert a special character into your forum signature, find the character's "entity number" and copy-and-paste that entity number into your forum signature. If you update your signature later, you will have to re-do the entity numbers.

The basic ones sad We ain't all fancy.

I dont think there is any other help to it than when you click on where it sais BBcode: on - in the buttom just before submit. However it dosent really say anything precise.

Arialvetica · 06-23-2009 18:21

Yeah there are emoticons, but no symbols. I was trying to do something like these: http://www.intuitive.com/coolweb/entities.html

Futtnetwalker · 06-23-2009 18:23

I think you can copy paste those symbols from word, if the codes dont work.

Arialvetica · 06-23-2009 18:34

Nope, they come up as weird symbols or strings of characters. I think that only certain ones work here, but I don't know which ones they are. :S

Expired · 06-23-2009 18:31

Most of them won't work, you'll just end up with a bunch of weird question mark thingies.

BrunetteBunny · 06-23-2009 18:34

Make a long post of all your symbols and just see which transfer from word.

Arialvetica · 06-23-2009 18:41

Yep and apparently NONE of them can go in your signature. I've updated my original post with a sample of all possible characters so you can copy-paste if you want to use any of them (and so you can see which ones don't work at all.) Thanks for the suggestion, BrunetteBunny!

OooKITTYooo · 06-23-2009 18:55

Symbols can go in your signature, I use some in mine
...But I think you have to use the 'entity number' otherwise it wont work

I get them from here - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_symbols.asp

The only problem I have is if I want to edit any part of my signature I have to go through the whole thing and re-enter the entity number for each symbol im using sad
