How do I center text?

I'm trying to figure out how to center my text in my signature on a JForum.
Many thanks in advance!

There are a couple of ways to do this.

One is to change your default profile options to automatically uncheck "Disable HTML in this message" (assuming the admin hasn't limited that). Then just use a <div style="margin: auto;"> or the older <center> tag in your signature.

Another way to do this is to add a Center bb code tag to the jForum bb_config.xml file. E.g.

<match name="center">
	<regex>(?s)(?i)\[center\](.*?)\[/center\]</regex>
	<replace>
	<![CDATA[
	<div style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">$1</div>
	]]>
	</replace>
</match>

This will allow

text

BB tags to be used in both posts and signatures.

Some minor corrections... I said to UNCHECK the disable html option... i.e.. ENABLE html. Having this enabled will also include what is in the signature. If you do it in your profile settings, it will automatically enable html for all your postings... unless the admin has forced this off.

You should be able to include the HTML to center your sig without needing to bug the admin.

FYI - There is no CENTER or ALIGN BBCode by default. The tag above would have to be added by your admin.

Only two problems...
1) I'm planning on using the code for part of my signature, so I can't "disable the HTML";
and
2) The [center] tag seems to be disabled.

BTW-- I'm not the admin, and likely have zero influence on him/her.
