i need help on my trading message.

so i’m not exactly ‘ new ‘ to this game but i still don’t know how it works. i just found out how to add a message (rules and stuff) for when people trade you and how to add color. however, when i look at my trading message you can still see alll the [orange] and the brackets and stuff. is it just me? can someone tell me if they can see it and if you can see it, how do i stop this?
how do i use this app lmao~

Heya, on a first glance I can already see your trade message has incorrect closing tags. When you want to close a BBCode tag, it's written with a slash, like so:
Code: Select all
[/color]

If you miss the slash, ot reads like a starting tag, but since [color] alone isn't a valid tag it will also just show up as text.
Your follow-up orange starting tags will therefore show as text too because the editor doesn't register the previous orange text block as closed.
Hope that explains it c:

Code: Select all
[color=orange]hello there. [color]
[color=orange]i’m not too fussy but here’s some things i have to say; [color]

[color=orange][u]date doesn’t matter to me, please dont trade pets without a rarity and i hate butterfly wolves with a passion.[/u][/color]


should look like this:
Code: Select all
[color=orange]hello there.

[u]date doesn’t matter to me, please dont trade pets without a rarity and i hate butterfly wolves with a passion.[/u][/color]


[/code] always signifies the end of a piece of bbcode. it must be paired with its starting equivalent, [code], which must come before the ending piece. you did this for the whole paragraph, but not at the end of the individual lines. you shouldn't have to put the colour in for every line unless there's other bbcode interfering, in which case you might have to play around a bit or just add in more code.

sometimes in lists, you don't need an ending to break apart entries. it just ends up like this:
Code: Select all
[list][*]entry 1
[*]entry 2
[*]entry 3
[*]etc.[/list]


just a heads up that such a bright colour might be a little hard to read for some people c;
