      1. How to make alliance page in Ogame?
      Starting from the VERY beginning...
      1. Make alliance or have sufficient right to edit
      2. Go to Alliance in your left menu bar, then to manage alliance
      3. Under Text Management choose to edit your External text, Internal text or Application text
      4. Write what you would like in the textbox below. (Keep in mind the In-game Rules, so no offensive language and so on.)
      5. Press the save button
      6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until done.
      2. The basics of alliance page formatting in Ogame:
      Beginning to spice up your alliance page...

      First, to manipulate and edit the look of the alliance page, you will need a basic understanding of BBCode. It is a specialized markup language that the forum (and many forums like it) and he alliance page uses instead of HTML. It uses tags just like HTML, though some of those tags are different. Tags are surrounded in square brackets instead of angle brackets. It can do much of what HTML can, like colorize the background, format the text (for size, font, color, and all the rest) or add images.

      5. Common things to include

      Common things to have on your alliance external text:
      • Contacts in the alliance, sometimes categorized (diplomacy, recruitment).
      • Alliances, NAPs and Wars.
      • Some sort of 'mission statement.' Basically, some blurb to give your alliance character.
      • Boasts of how awesome you are and how you'll pwn anyone that so much as looks at your alliance strange. (n00bish, but still common. ;))

      Common things to have on your alliance internal text:
      • Links to useful websites for the game like simulators, CR converters, calculators.
      • Responsibilities of particular members.
      • Contact for members.
      • Rules for the alliance that are not publicly broadcast.

      Commonly provided links:
      • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGame

      • http://speedsim.websim.net/
      • http://www.ogame-world.com/

      For the application text, you're suggested to ask questions that will reveal to you if the person is a good fit. Ask questions like their score/rank, style too, of course, but compatible personalities make for a happier alliance too.
      Suggestions:
      - color codes?
      - background not working
      - allign not working

        [align=center][align=left]
        [/align]        [align=left]3. How can I link to my AllyPage ?


        To be able to show your alliance page to another players that are not playing your Uni,
        it is possible to link directly to the AllyPage.

        Simply insert the appropriate things and post the link .

        sxx-de.ogame.gameforge.com/game/allianceInfo.php?allianceId=zz

        xx = Uni
        zz = Ally ID

        The link to your own Allypage can be found under
        " Alliance " - > " Mengament " - " Manage texts " > - > " External text " - " Open Alliance page " [/align][align=left]
        [/align][align=left]
        [/align][align=left]
        [align=center]
        [align=left]4. How can I add background on alliance page?


        You can add background image on this ways:


        [/align][/align][/align][/align]
      • [background image="url"]text[/background]
      • [background image="url" image-repeat='yes-x']text[/background]
      • [background image="url" image-repeat='yes-y']text[/background]
      • [background image="url" image-repeat='no']text[/background]
      • [background image="url" image-repeat='yes']text[/background]URL must link the input to the desired background image.

        About the image -repeat command , the refresh can be controlled .
        That is, if if you want image to fill the entire background to be repeated accordingly.

        " yes " ( 2 ) means that it is repeated accordingly in all directions ,
        " yes - x " ( 3 ) means only repetition side by side ( line ) ,
        " yes - y " ( 4 ) means repeat each other ( column ) ,
        "no " ( 5 ) means no repeat .

        If you leave out part ( 1 )
        which has the same effect as " yes " and the picture is repeated accordingly for the complete range .
        If the image is too large , it will be truncated accordingly.


        5.How do I edit my AllyPage ?


        That goes with BB - code :
