I would like to help you, but I don't know what you mean by "glow code", sorry, hope Link helps you.

[glow=red,2,300]Let's check[/glow] That, your letters already look like that, so that may be why you don't notice it.
[glow=black,2,300]let's[/glow] [glow=green,2,300]try[/glow] [glow=yellow,2,300]some[/glow] [glow=brown,2,300]different [/glow] [glow=white,2,300]colors[/glow] [glow=purple,2,300]ok?[/glow]
Seems that using it makes a separate line, I didn't made a line for each word.
Just change the color in red to something else.
And by the way, how do you make that all your letters already have a color? I don't think that you color all your message each time, or you wouldn't be asking this, so tell me how you do it, to do it myself (with a different color, of course).

[glow=purple,5,300]You mean, how each message I post has glow, right?
If that's your question then, yes, I add the glow code each time I post.(It's easier to do this now on V4, just highlight the message and click the button for glow or anything you like )[/glow]

Correct me if I am wrong, you use glow on your text by highlighting it (you could do that before V4 too) and using the glow, you use it in every message and then you ask what it is?

[glow=purple,5,300] I'm not asking what it is, I'm asking what does the third variable modifiy. I always use the code like this:[/glow][glow=purple,5,300]My message[/glow] [glow=purple,5,300]What I want to know is what does the 300 do?[/glow]

Now I understand you (why doesn't Link answers you, he is the administrator and he should know) well anyway, I'll try to fin out by testing again.
[glow=red,2,-9999]Test-9999[/glow] [glow=red,2,0]Test 0[/glow] [glow=red,2,50]Test 50[/glow] [glow=red,2,100]Test 100[/glow] [glow=red,2,200]Test 200[/glow] [glow=red,2,300]Test 300[/glow] [glow=red,2,400]Test 400[/glow] [glow=red,2,500]Test 500[/glow] [glow=red,2,600]Test 600[/glow] [glow=red,2,3000]Test 3000[/glow] [glow=red,2,9999]Test 9999[/glow] [glow=red,2]Test by deleting the variable[/glow]
I think I'm getting your point, my test was useless so Link, answer.

Unfortunately, I don't know either. I have tested like Mephistopheles and some more, and it doesn't seem to affect the amount of glow around the letters.

Well, I am not satisfied yet, I'll have to forget it, sure, but I really wanted to know what it did, because it does somethig, when I erased the value the letters lost the glow entirely but wouldn't lose it even with a negative value, I will just say it's Link's fault and continue with my happy life.

If you erase the variable, the code is not complete, and that's why it does nothing.

That makes sense, I was just informing about my observations.

Ok I think I found out what the third variable does... After playing with this option a little for my RPG thing ... I changed the value and did notice something different ... Don't know if someone else knew this ... or if the difference is caused by my browser... anyway ... I'm not sure but if you type a lot of text and use the glow function ... the text would split on different lines of the same length...that is approx 300 Pixels (This is my guess .. it is not measure). So by changing the third variable you change the length of the each line ....the value being on pixels... I'll make some examples below...: [glow=green,15,50]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 50 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,100]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 100 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,300]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 300 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,350]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 350 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,370]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 370 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,400]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 400 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,500]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 500 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,600]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 600 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,1000]I have to write a long line before adding the code or the effect will not be notice. 1000 value.[/glow] [glow=green,15,1000]Max range test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[/glow] [glow=green,1,1000]Max range test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2[/glow] [glow=green,15,1000]Max range test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3[/glow][glow=green,15,1000]Max range test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4[/glow][glow=green,15,1000]Max range test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5[/glow][glow=green,15,1000]Max range test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6[/glow]- [glow=green,15,1000]Max range test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7[/glow]

- That range is limited to about 400 Pixels.(According to MS Paint).
- The text is cut in different lines if range exceeded.
- The amount of Glow (second variable) does not
affect the range of the line.
- The font (size and color included) does not affect the range of the line either.
- Nor Italic, bold, underline or strike through affect the range of the line.
- Neither Teletype, superscript or subscript affect the range of the line.
- The list command moves the starting point of the line but does not affect the range.
- The Pre-formated command nullifies the effect of the third variable.
- The right command does not affect the range of the line.
- The Marquee command does not affect the range of the line.
So the only way I found to increase the range would be to use the Pre-formated command inside the glow command. Hope this Helps you all!!! PS. If I missed any other important command .. just tell or do the experiment yourself. XD

I guess my lines were not big enough to be able to see that...... hey what the? I didn't noticed, man, my test 50 does takes two lines... but I didn't noticed at the time.
Thanks gamemaniac, you discovered one of the great mysteries of life..... or maybe only some curios stuff Calumon wanted to know, any way works.
