----Posting and tags:
----The 'Bold' tag:
As you can see, the 'Bold' tag has a wide usage in this FAQ, together with the color code I'll talk about later.
To add the 'Bold' tag to the text, hit the 'B' button above the text box. To wrap parts of already typed text into a 'Bold' tag, highlight the desired part of the text, and click the 'Bold' button. The text will be wrapped in the tags that look like this:
- Code: Select all
[b]This is sample text.[/b]
...Which will have an outcome that looks like this:
This is sample text.
====
----The 'Italic' tag:
Pretty much the same as bold. It's applied in the same way to text, the way 'Bold' tag is. The 'activation' button is next to the 'B' button.
- Code: Select all
[i]This is sample text.[/i]
The outcome looks like this...
This is sample text.
====
----The 'Underline' tag:
Okay, it's next to the 'Italic' tag, blada, blada...
- Code: Select all
[u]This is sample text.[/u]
And this is the outcome.
====
----Quoting:
Quoting is usually done by clicking the 'Quote' button next to a post, but there is a tag that allows you to make quotes by yourself.
- Code: Select all
[quote]This is sample text.[/quote]
Outcome...
This is sample text.
However, you can also add names to the quote tags if you want to citate a source of information.
- Code: Select all
[quote="Person"]Blah.[/quote]
Outcome...
Person wrote:Blah.
NOTE: WHEN ADDING A NAME TO A QUOTE TAG, MAKE SURE THAT THE NAME IS ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS PLACED BETWEEN THE QUOTATION MARKS: "
HOWEVER, ALSO NOTE THAT THIS IS A SINGLE SYMBOL, NOT TWO APOSTROPHES, WHICH LOOK VERY SIMILAR (WHEN PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER), BUT NOT THE SAME: ''
====
----Thesizetag(s):
These tags define the font size.
- Code: Select all
[size=7]The[/size][size=14]size[/size]tag(s)
The title is the outcome... The numbers inside the text define the size. The smaller the number, the smaller the font... Same goes with large numbers and letters... I'm pretty interested in what happens if I add a negative number into the tag...
====
----The 'Image tag':
Yet again one of the most commonly used tags around.
- Code: Select all
[img]http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005NJFP.02.THUMBZZZ.jpg[/img]
Outcome...
====
----The 'Color' Tag:
This is also a common tag, but sometimes a complicated one.
- Code: Select all
[color=red]Blah.[/color]
Outcome...
Blah.
You can also use some more complicated colors, that however, require a certain type of code, constructed out of letters (A-F) and numbers (0-9) with the tic-tac-toe thingy symbol to be typed at the beginning... You can find the code for every color in Adobe Photoshop, in the color select table.
- Code: Select all
[color=#D9F78D]This color is unavaliable on this board by default.[/color]
This color is unavaliable on this board by default (And is also hard to read on this background...).
====
----The 'URL' tag:
Okay, this one's an essential if want to link to images, web pages, and other types of content. This tag also has its button.
- Code: Select all
[url]http://bb.jamiroquai.com[/url]
And this is the outcome...
http://bb.jamiroquai.com
However, if you want to add a description to the URL, you'll have to follow a slightly more complex procedure...
- Code: Select all
[url=http://bb.jamiroquai.com]This is a link.[/url]
The outcome...
This is a link.
====
----The 'List' tags:
Okay, there are three kinds of the list tag. Those tags are similar, yet not the same, obviously.
-Bullet:
Okay, this one's the primary list tag...
- Code: Select all
[list][*]List item #1;
[*]List item #2;
[*]List item #3;[/list]
Outcome...
- List item #1;
- List item #2;
- List item #3.
As you can see, the [*] sub-tag is used in all list tags as a bullet.
=
-Numerical:
Okay, this one's also slightly more complex, but not THAT much.
- Code: Select all
[list=1][*]List item #1;
[*]List item #2;
[*]List item #3.[/list]
This time however, numbers will be used in the place of bullets...
- List item #1;
- List item #2;
- List item #3.
-Alphabetical:
Same as the numerical order, except that the list uses Latin letters instead of numbers or bullets.
- Code: Select all
[list=1][*]List item #1;
[*]List item #2;
[*]List item #3.[/list]
Outcome...
- List item #1;
- List item #2;
- List item #3.
I wonder what happens if you list more than 26 items...

Chill, people.
