Forum usage hints - Igiss - 06-15-2005
In this thread I'll publish hints on how to use different forum features.
BBCodes
They are very simple to use because you no longer need to care about where to open or close codes. Select the text and apply the code needed, tags will automatically appear before and after selected text. Also note that smileys or codes will be inserted not in the end of post text, but in the place where cursor currently is.
Birthdays
There's no prompt for birthday when you register. Still this forum has a calendar and will notify of birthdays - if you input day of your birth in My Controls -> Edit Profile info.
Please do this, because otherwise we won't know when to congratulate you!
Attachments
You may attach any files and pictures that have common formats to your posts and even PMs. Each type of file has its size limit, I didn't edit those yet so if you cannot upload some file please contact me.
Attachments are uploaded to forum directly from your PC, so the speed obviously depends on your internet connection.
Quotes
Using quotes might be a little confusing at first glance. However, it's quite simple.
To insert a quote in your post, click on the Quote button near the post you are quoting. If the button will display "-" instead of "+" the post will be quoted. You may select multiple posts this way.
Then hit Add reply button, that's all ;)
