Question: How do I border my post?

[Kozoi]

Just a quick question. I've seen people with borders around their posts, especially the first post. You know what I mean, like a square around all the text and images with a background inside it. Such as a green square with a blue interior.

So, how do I insert these borders? I have tried a lot of different ways and had no success.

they are ustilizing the [css-div] bbcode. it basically allows you to use some aspects of css coding to create a visually pleasing post.
here's a quick little guide made by a friend of mine that can help you out a little bit.

Thanks! I am going to test it now in my upcoming fanfiction.

Edit: It shows a dotted green border and doesn't have any fill on the colour as previewed on the website. How can I fix this?

After quoting your edit, I noticed there was a problem with your CSS. Here's what you have:
[div="width: 300px; height: 10px;"][div="padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px; border: dashed 1px #60B530; font-variant: small-caps; color: #60B530; background-color: [B]#ADFF2F[/B];"]Test
[/div][/div]

For some reason, you are trying to bold the color. Here's the edited version:
[div="width: 300px; height: 10px;"][div="padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px; border: dashed 1px #60B530; font-variant: small-caps; color: #60B530; background-color: #ADFF2F;"]Test
[/div][/div]

Is that what you are wanting?

I'm not very good with CSS, so that will be all I can help you with.

Thanks. I am just wondering if anyone could make me a CCS that fills an entire thread, has a yellow border and a blue background.

to have it fill the entire post, remove the size parameter code (ex: width:XXpx;) or use a percentage (ex: Width: 100%;) as for changing the colours, just sub in a new colour code for the green one. here's a nifty list of some of them. also in order to change the style of border from the dashed, just chang from the word dashed to another style. ( you can use Solid, dotted, etc... there's a great list of options in your Profile customization page.

Just make sure the background color / background image isn't too bright.
I remember when the bishie thread was bright red and every time I looked at it, I nearly got a seizure.

And, uh, make sure the text is very readable on whatever background you use.

Then clearly your eyes weren't trained enough.
*goes back to change the bishie thread colour to neon pink, with white text instead*
You will be trained after this.
