Before we get too far into this post, let me express that ALL button sounds can be stopped by pressing the ESC key (this is standard for our firefox users, however other web browsers may have less luck with this sort of thing, so please let me know your findings).

Here at infohub, we've worked long and hard to bring you THREE brand new BB Codes for you to use in your posts.

And while all of these are similar, they're all still surprizingly different, so let's take a look at them now...

Code1:
First we have the basic BB Code, which is simple enough. All you have to do is find your favorite button from instantsfun.es and get the name of the button by clicking on the title and copying the last segment of the address bar. For example the "Benny Hill!" button's name is simply "bennyhill". Now in order to put that button in our post, all I need to do is put the name "bennyhill" into the BB Code, as seen in the example below.

[instants]bennyhillIf done correctly, you'll end up with this: bennyhill

Code2:
I quickly realized that the good people over at instantsfun.es haven't updated their site in a while, which means the fun could very quickly end for those of us who want a broader sound selection. So I decided to make a code that would allow you to make your own custom buttons! In order for this to work, all you need to do is find or upload the sound you want, somewhere on the internet, then copy the FULL ADDRESS to that song, and paste it between our new BB Code! Your new button will appear in the standard "Infohub Blue" and be ready for action. Here's a code example:

[button]http://wildknights.se/Metallica%20-%20The%20Memory%20Remains.mp3And if that's been done right, you can expect to see this: http://wildknights.se/Metallica%20-%20The%20Memory%20Remains.mp3

Code3:
Not thrilled about having your custom button display in the standard "infohub blue" ? Well, for our advanced users I've created the BB Code, which is nearly identical to the [button] BBCode, except for the fact that the user can change the button's color using a simple HTML color code (without, and I stress this, WITHOUT the # proceeding the code). For instance let's say you wanted to use a nice orange color for your button. The code for that would be:

[cbutton=ee8a28]http://placewhereyoursoundis.com/yoursound.mp3When done and submitted, that will return this result: http://djallyn.org/audio/too_sexy.mp3

Well, I hope you guys appreciate my hard word, and can forgive me for the song that the orange button plays.

As a bit of afterthought: There are all sorts of song and soundbite search engines out there, so feel free to google around for them. And as for your button colors with the [cbutton] code, you'll want to google up a good HTML Color Code Chart.
