Dear Pixel Perfect Staff,
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to put my posts in block format. Numerous users here do it, but I cannot find the button or the code. Just centering makes everything look awkward. Thanks so much!
Yours faithfully,
Jacob

Jacob to get the "blockquote" / indented option, you use [*blockquote][/*blockquote] without the asterisks. i generally just highlight and add the justify myself but i think you can add in [*div align="justify"][/*div] without the asterisks and it will justify the text within the blockquoted area. |

Edit: oops, I didn't notice another post above mine somehow orz Sorry!I'm not staff, but I thought I could help anyway Jacob ? Here's a screenshot:  Basically go to PROFILE > SETTINGS. There will be a Default BBCode section. Type in your code there (mine is listed below) and then hit save. After that, your code will automatically appear in every post (this only works for Proboards, not Jcink). If you want to use mine and change the font face and/or colour, go for it. If you want to make your own, go for it.~ [center][div style="width:550px;font-family:calibri light;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;line-height:16pt;"]
Your words/post goes here

just as an fyi, while you can use that format, it's actually not ideal for mobile users.
anything that has a set width that's too wide for the mobile mode on proboards just will not display whatever ought to be overflowed. that's why i recommend the blockquote + justify - it's not perfect (since blockquote won't actually work on mobile), but at least i don't have to guess what those extra three words are in each line / twist my phone to landscape mode just to be able to read a post. |

Jumping off Kuroya's point, I would make it max-width if you want to go the width route cause it'll avoid the problem with it getting cut off on mobile

What would the max width be if I used the customised coding, Kuroya and gimmick?

just add max-width: 100%;
but honestly, i do something more like
[div style="margin:30px 15%;"]content lmao[/div]
to preserve the blockquote look even on mobile. so i ditch width and just use margins sjflkdj. i mean, u could just set max width to a percent or something, but using margins is just. one tag & one property vs two properties & two tags.
the 30px adds top / bottom spacing, and the 15% is the left / right spacing. would not recommend going any higher than 15%. actually, it's probably better to use pixels instead of percentages, but i live for horrible coding choices until it actually becomes an issue for me sdjkfjslkdjfk
but honestly tho #plsthinkofmobileversionuserstoo imma gonna start a campaign - |

Jacob i'd probably use a max-width of 90% or 80% but honestly utter hawks trash. isn't wrong about margins just.... being a whole lot neater (since you're essentially putting in the padding around things rather than making a box that you then have to center). i actually think percentages are a little neater for that mobile/desktop transition (especially since lmfao what are pixels on a mobile screen), but different strokes for different folks c: |

Does this work okay, utter hawks trash. and Kuroya ? I changed the percentage to pixels. My posts need to be mobile-friendly.
