(How To) Lounge Settings^™¹

So you want to code a FUBAR Lounge.. This will be a 2 part blog. The first part will show what the different functions look look inside a lounges Edit Lounge link and the second part will show members the different style codes for the Lounges basic areas (ie. Say Box, Chatbox & Info / Options / Members Box(I will not include the bottom boxes because they may require custom coding the member / coder is gonna have to add themselves). Pleas dually note to be able to create a Lounge a fubar member must be at the minimum level of ten or have at least $100,000 fubucks. I can only give members the basic knowledge to code lounges, pleas note I cannot determine if this will work for all lounges as each may hold a different task or setting. I have set up two Fully Functioning Lounge Template Blogs (called Lounge_Template_A & Lounge_Template_B). I will no longer be including the style codes (ie. <style type="text/css"></style>) since fubar has everything placed in the Skin Tab. If you feel you are still lost and need help coding your lounge please send a private message to a Volunteer Coder and they will help you get your lounge coded to your specifications.

Managing Lounge Staff

Many Lounge Owners love this setting since it allows them to either use the predetermined lounge emote system or to create their own customary emote they'd like to use within the Lounge Parameter.

Custom Emotes:

Customize your lounge even more with your own emotes! Emotes are actions users can perform on eachother in lounges such as 'hug', 'high-five', etc...
