(A short explaination of what buttons you can use when posting.)
- The 'B' button - Makes the text you highlight bold.
- The 'i' button - Makes the text you highlight italic.
- The 'u' button - Makes the text you highlight underlined.
- The 'Quote' button - Makes the text you highlight have a special box around it to signify a quote. Or you can add '="username'" to the tag to show a quote from the user. r00t wrote:Like this! In this case I used 'quote="r00t"
- The 'Code' button - Like quote, it makes the text you highlight have a special box around it.
Code: Select all
Like this!
- The 'List' button - Makes a unordered list, by default. But if you add '=1' or '=a' to it, it makes a numbered list, or a alphabetical list. Like so:
- First do this
- Then do this
- First do this
- Then do this
- The '[ * ]' button - Signifies a list item for the 'List' button. For the above list, I did this:
As you can see, for each item, I put the [ * ] tag in front of it.
Code: Select all
[list=1][*]First do this [*]Then do this[/list] [list=a][*]First do this [*]Then do this[/list]
- The 'Img' button - Shows a picture from a website (that fits into the board's size limit). For more information, see 'rimg'
- The 'URL button - Turns text into a click-able link like https://www.google.com/ But to show just text instead of a URL, do '=url'. For example, this text links to google.com. I made it using this:
Code: Select all
[url=https://www.google.com/]this text[/url]
- Use the Bold, italics, underline and colors sparingly. Too much of any of them will make your posts and the points you want to get across lose meaning.
- When using the quote button to quote a long posts, I find it's easier to quote a small section of the post at a time and respond to it (repeat as needed) rather than quoting the whole thing and only talking about a section of it.
- I love the 'rimg' button because I don't have to worry about resizing the picture manually; it does it for me.
- Using 'Code' tags makes it a LOT easier to read posts with long output. Not only for the poster, but for the people reading it (making them more willing to help you), and for the moderators to keep the forums tidy. Even if it's not long, but if it's Terminal output (for example) you might want to use the Code tags.
