Hi All,

A few questions if I may:

  1. Is there a way to create a content divider on a post, eg: even just a line that divides a post into two sections?

  2. If not, then is there an easy way to center text on a post? I suppose I could just type ------ and make that center on the post.

  3. Also, is there a way to change font color in a post?

Thanks

I don’t think the same goes for the color. But you could use the wrap bbcode. You can explore this thread to gather some useful infos
