Xbox Tags

[n7T]

On the back of Xbox being discussed in the squad forums, I've added the new xbox tag

In a normal posting or in your signature, use this formatting:-

Code: Select all

[xbox]YourGamerTag[/xbox]

and it will display something like this...

Also, if you want to display your Xbox Live Avatar, you can use the following:

Code: Select all

[xboxav=left|right]GamerTag[/xboxav]

So if I type

Code: Select all

[xboxav=right]FunkyMagicUK[/xboxav]

I get:-


and the left and right tags basically throw the avatar over to the left or right hand side but allow any following text SUCH AS THIS PARAGRAPH AND THE FOLLOWING ONES to flow neatly into the remaining space down the side.

Hmm, I suggest moving this to the private forums.

Why? Gamertags are public, this just links from the official Microsoft site - its not like a Nintendo Friend ID?

[Ged]

Because bots/trawlers/14&32 yr old virgins use them to try and phish people for their details so they can hack into accounts. Yes they're on the main site but that's all of ones in existence, people posting on isolated sites like this can soon get picked up and targeted.

Plus why would we want to expose gamerTags to people who are not registered and then get invites from people we don't know or are not 'trusted'?

Fair enough - so don't post your GamerTag in the public forum then!!
