    be sure to use "huge" font setting to have your command text as big as icons if you use big size (hold, push ect...)
    and remember to put spaces between them and symbols like for normal smilies (+,[] ect...)
    exemples:

    Code: Select all
    [b][HOLD] :start: + :select: + :l1: + :l2: + :r1: + :r2: [UNHOLD][/b]
    [size=200][b][HOLD] :START: + :SELECT: + :L1: + :L2: + :L1: + :R2: [UNHOLD][/b][/size]
    [size=150][b]Work on :[/b] :us:  :psx: [/size][/list]

    [HOLD] :start: + :select: + :l1: + :l2: + :r1: + :r2: [UNHOLD]
    [HOLD] :START: + :SELECT: + :L1: + :L2: + :L1: + :R2: [UNHOLD]
    Work on : :us: :psx:

    The consoles icons are formated only 1 way
    Code: Select all
    :ds:  :gba:  :gb:  :wii:  :gc:  :n64:  :n64pad:  :snes:  :snespad:  :nes:  :nespad: 
    :dc:  :saturn:  :saturnpad:  :genesis:  :genesispad:  :nec:  :necpad: 
    :psx:  :psxpad:  :psxmem:  :ps2:  :ps3:  :psp: 
    :sotnus:  :sotnj1:  :sotn1b:  :sotnj3:  :sotnj4:  :sotnpal: 
    :xbox:  :x360:  :pc:

    :ds: :gba: :gb: :wii: :gc: :n64: :n64pad: :snes: :snespad: :nes: :nespad:

As you can see, there is a major revamp on the forum structure, ive unflooded many topics, deleted some others, splited or merged also

For now the post count is kept, but the count will be reseted probably (dont worry, youll have the time to increase your count meanwhile...)

Tarba also told me hes gonna make a banner (this one obviously not ok)
