BBCode How-to, 67670 views
Because I know somebody will ask about this.
You may have noticed some new buttons at the top: B, i, u, etc. Here's an explanation of what they mean.
They're what's called BBCode - which is code that can be used on forums. It can style text, add images, and all sorts of cool things. Here's a quick rundown of the buttons:
B: Bolds the text. When you click it, make sure you type inside [ b ] and [ / b ] for it to work. (I had to type spaces in between so that I could show you).
i: Italicizes text. When you click it, make sure you type inside [ i ] and [ / i ] for it to work.
u: Underlines text. When you click it, make sure you type inside [ u ] and [ / u ] for it to work.
url: This creates a clickable web address. When you click it, make sure you type the address inside [ url ] and [ / url ] for it to work.
img: This will add an image to your post. Find the image you want, and copy and paste the address in between [ img ] and [ / img ]. To do this, right-click the image, go to Properties and copy the address in the 'Address (URL)' section. Other browsers just have a "Copy Image Location" option when you right-click.
So for example: [ img ] http://www.buddyicon.info/ikons/IKON758211cad04128c421d702e1c24e699e460e92179e.gif [ / img ] (without the spaces) would produce:

*Note: PLEASE DON'T ABUSE THIS! As in, please don't throw hundreds of images in one post. Think of the poor dial-up users!
There are some other options too, which aren't clickable yet:
Center your text
Use [ align=center ] [ / align ] (without spaces) to do this. Make sure you type what you want centered in between [ align=center ] and [ / align ].
Align text to the right
Use [ align=right ] [ / align ] (without spaces) to do this. Make sure you type what you want centered in between [ align=right ] and [ / align ].
Change font color:
Use [ color=your font color ] [ / color ] to do this. Obviously, replace "your font color" with the color font that you want. Make sure you type the text you want colored between [ color=your font color ] and [ / color ].
Change font size:
Use [ size=your font size ] [ / font ] to do this. Obviously, replace "your font size" with the size font that you want (use a number). Make sure you type the text you want bigger between [ size=your font size ] and [ / size ].
Change font:
Use [ font=your font ] [ / font ] to do this. Obviously, replace "your font" with the font that you want. Make sure you type the text you want a different font in between [ font=your font ] and [ / font ].
Have fun!

Don't worry, this forum isn't very active. When people are around, I'm sure they'll say hello.
