What you did helped me to figure out how to make it work. I didn't wind up using the exact thing, but I have something that works now.
Thank you!

Within the Depths of a Dream
Fonts as far as I'm aware are case sensitive.
For the header, the style has to be inside the tag like so:
Code:
[h][color][font][etc]text[/etc][/font][/color][/h]Another general tip if you are using BBCode frequently is to turn off your RTE (rich text editor) to prevent code duplication! ^^

Code:

Okay, thank you very much! I think I've got it! Maybe... (x

"Scotland Forever"
Okay, I've managed to get it to do mostly what I want, but there are still a few issues I'm not sure how to fix.
The biggest issue are these huge gaps between the text and different elements. I can't think of anything that might be causing them grief, but there they are...
I'd also like for the header to be a bit bigger. Is 7 the largest it can go?
Finally, I'm trying to figure out how to get the sidebar to spread out some and take up the whole empty space to the right, if that's possible. Is it possible to change the color of the border divide and the side borders on the sidebar? I tried inserting a color tag, but it didn't work.
It looks like this:
Elizabeth Anne Douglas
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Position: Veterinary Assistant
Appearance: Medium height; long red-brown hair, braided or tied back; blue eyes; likes dressing in greens, blues, and browns; wears her grandmother's silver claddagh ring on her right hand, the heart inward; wears glasses
Pets: None here, but has a Border Collie called Storm, a squirrel called Rory, and several cats back home.
A Morn In Spring - History
Elizabeth grew up in a small community in County Down with her parents, grandmother, twin brother, and the local dog pack. Admittedly, the dogs weren't really theirs, but they might as well have been. They wandered the fields and streets but always came by the Douglas' to find a warm barn, a meal, and two delighted children to live them. At first, the children's parents didn't understand why the dogs spent so much time around the house and unsuccessfully tried to drive them away for fear them hurting James and Elizabeth, but eventually relented when they saw how much they loved one another. When they were older, they both declared that they wanted to be veterinarians.
James eventually decided to doctor humans instead of animals, but Elizabeth never gave up the dream. However, they soon found out that, as much as they loved their little community, there wasn't much opportunity for them there. They had earned their degrees and were looking to see practice, but nobody nearby had any need for a green student. So, when their uncle wrote them from America and told James that he could get him a place in his clinic and stay in his apartment, James jumped at the idea. Elizabeth went as well, albeit with a bit less enthusiasm, and found a job as a veterinary assistant at the local animal shelter. She hopes to eventually set up her own practice, though she doesn't know if she will be able to go back home.
Hear the Angels Sing - Personality
Like many who spend their lives caring for animals, Elizabeth is a very gentle and affectionate soul. She loves caring for others and seeing them happy and healthy, whether they are man or beast. Whenever she makes a friend, they will know it by her broad smiles, ringing laughter, and tight hugs. Animals especially receive this attention, as she delights in stroking their fur, romping in open spaces, and wrestling with anything that will take her. Though this play is certainly rough-and-tumble, she can be equally as gentle when quieting a frightened animal or tending to its injuries. She is consistently optimistic and is always looking for the best. This has made her a bit of an idealist.
However, despite her search for the ideal, she still tries to remain practical. Her brother is more successful at this, so he jokes that he inherited their great-ancestor’s good sense while she inherited his misty-eyed romanticism, though she retorts that romantics wouldn't become quite so common for another couple centuries. She does her best to remember how the world actually works, but does sometimes insist on living in her own world. This can be equally frustrating to those who want to live in the ideal and those who are more practical.
One place that this manifests itself, though rather subtlely, is in her personal beliefs. Though she detests extremists, she is a very moderate nationalist and is deeply moved by descriptions of the ideal and of past sacrifice. However, in light of the horrible turn some have taken in this direction and its unpopularity in her hometown, feeling that speaking out would do nothing besides cause strife, she keeps this very quiet and rarely makes any point of it. She feels a bit ashamed of this; sometimes that she has deviated from her family's traditional beliefs, sometimes that she fears to stand up for it, sometimes that she feels shame for it at all.
In general, Elizabeth prefers to keep the peace rather than cause trouble, but she has been known to get riled up. She is a very spirited young lady, a tribute to her family, and is very difficult to silence or ignore unless she decides to allow it. This usually does happen after a period of time, as her natural politeness quickly overrides whatever fiery notion her temper has dreamed up, but not always. This can be a very useful tool sometimes, but can also get her into heaps of trouble.
Though she is occasionally ruled by her temper, she usually manages to keep it under control. This is much less true of her other emotions, especially pity and fear. Pity is as much a part of her need to help animals as her love for them is, as she can’t bear to see an animal hurting. In fact, being prevented from aiding a creature she loves or pities is one of the leading causes of her bouts of anger. She is desperate to end the hurt and suffering of the animals that she sees, even if that means fighting an impossible battle and fighting her own feelings of guilt and grief for not doing enough.
Likewise, fear also holds her in a very tight grip. Fear of doing the wrong thing, of being ineffective, of saying something wrong, of losing the ones she loves… the list goes on. She argues against these feelings just like her mother’s saying about her arguing with a brick wall, but with about the same effect. Despite her will to ignore her fear and not let it control her, it often wins with very little trouble. She worries constantly, often about things that make very little sense.
Elizabeth has been known for being quite smart, but this has made her a bit proud. This, coupled with her feisty spirit, has produced a strong stubborn streak and makes her extremely loath to admit a mistake or defeat. It also occasionally comes out as defiance, whether quiet or obvious, against authority that she doesn't recognize or believes is not her superior.
The World Seems Bright and Gay - Interests
Speciality: Livestock and cats
"You never really tame a cat; you just come to an agreement with them. That's why I love them."
Other: Elizabeth loves history and culture, especially through the traditional mediums of story and song, which she enjoys sharing by recounting tales of famous people and events or through traditional tunes on a tin whistle (though her musical talent is somewhat limited, according to James). However, she is equally interested in scholarly study and fancies herself an ametuer historian
Likes: Her home, music, history, the countryside, mountains
Dislikes: Large cities (“large” being anywhere with more than a thousand people), arrogance, loud noises, crowds, apples

Every time you go onto a new line in the code, you also go onto a new line in the final product. Just get rid of all the empty space in the code and the spaces will disappear.

Yes. If you would like a bigger header I suggest using the header tag and applying font and color to it like so:
[h][font=Century Gothic][color=#e0162b]Header[/color][/font][/h]
Header
If that is still not big enough for you, you can use a website like fontmeme to create an image of your desired header text.
No it is not. There is a workaround for the sides using rows and columns, or bordered text and an imagefloat. As for divides, the best I can suggest is using an image in its place or using a background if you're okay with it being thick.

I may not be accurate on this, but I don't think centering tabs is possible period. If it is, I'm curious to know as well.

well it doesn't look like you can center tabs with the center code, but apparently tabs work inside a slide title.

Yes, you can combine them in interesting ways, but I wanna center em XD But I will assume it won't work then :/ Thanks for trying

In my little workshop thingy, it works perfectly, so why do I get no slide When I try to put it anywhere else ?? Would love any advice/help

Um, gonna be honest and say that I don't totally know what you mean by that, but I haven't disabled anything. (I think)
Well, no slide is seemingly connected to the plot slide. It is not a slide in itself. The extra no slide seems to get added by the page? Im confused....

Yo - been trying to post a gif within a border. When I use the upload a file option provided, the gif does not show up, but rather a link that says 'view attachment' or whatever. When I put [ IMG ] in front of said gif and [ / IMG ] behind it, I get a little icon of a picture with a red x in the lower left corner of it. I've almost entirely forgot how to use BBcode.

Not that I'm aware of. But I might be? How can I check? The term's familiar but I don't experiment with coding very much, so I guess I'm technically new to all this. If it helps, I'm in private workshop right now creating a character sheet, and I'm trying to post the gif inside of a background.

Aha - I am not using RTE. Had to remind myself what that was. I posted the gif originally using the Upload a File button by 'post' on mobile.
