Looking for something fun to do with your members? We are doing this here with Xmas smlies. Check it out...and add one while you are there. :xmas:

By using the ZB tables BBcode to make a tree shape, members can add their smilie choice and their name to the "tree" for a fun community project.

Here's the tree table code we are using:

Code:

[table=7][c][c][c]:xmas: [c][c][c] [c][c][c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c][c] [c][c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c] :xmas:[c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c] [c] :xmas:[c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c]:xmas:[c]:xmas: [c][c][c][c]:xmas:[c][c] [/table]

instructions to members (adapt for your own purposes):

1. quote the most recent post and copy the table code from that post.
2. paste that in your reply screen, then erase the content of the quoted post box
3. select one of the :xmas; smile shortcuts to replace
4. delete it and replace with your choice of smilie
5. hit the "enter" key (this will put your name below your chosen smilie)
6. type your name
7. don't change anything else! (unless you want to comment above or below the tree table)
8. submit the post
