Subject: kuro's forum guide Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:31 pm
okay so i just felt like making a quick and short guide about the forum to help people. even i am discovering new tricks and mechanics to this forum. i will be adding more and more to this guide as i learn; if someone else learns something about the forum please tell me. mods feel free to edit and add suitable content.
note: for tips&tricks when i post the command or whatever--say the color command-- it makes the text blue, or disappear, etc. so i have to break up my text so it wont be confusing... refer to below posts& notes.
Posting Mechanics: -one can edit their posts -one can add a poll with their posts -after a certain time, like about a day, posts cant be deleted. -one can edit their post and add a poll, if they are the topic starter of course -after a poll is created it cannot be edited -the only way to bypass these rules is to have a mod edit/delete your post.
Posting tips & tricks1: -by clicking on certain things up top one can change how the text appears -clicking on smileys inserts smileys.
Advanced tips & tricks: custom input -certain commands can be inputted directly into the forum posting -like would create an image --------------This is the format for these things. say you wish to do thing X. [X]text/image/site here[/X] -list of certain ones: img, , b, i, u, strike (bold, italic, underline, striked text)
There are a lot more, some at the top, some not at the top! -format for advanced advanced: [X=Y][/X] -note: i used brackets for this part because it kept messing itself up. use [] instead of {} when posting, though.
Quote :
-Quoting format: basic format is {quote}
USER wrote:
-Quoting advanced is: {quote="USER"}
this is quoting 1 and quoting 2 respectively.
-colors time! -this is the format for colors. -remember: USE THESE INSTEAD! [ ] -{color=SomeColor}{/color} -at 'SomeColor' one can try things like blue, red, yellow, etc. colors are limited though.
Inserting Flash
-this is how you insert flash, or a video. -[flash(425,350)]video url here[/flash] -IMPORTANT: you need to edit the link on the video in order to be able to view the video. 1-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrIHPlm1RZc 2-https://www.youtube.com/v/FrIHPlm1RZc (you need to change the url from format 1 to format 2; change the red parts.) -dimensions: 425 by 350 is good
Custom colors -one of the last commands is custom colors. you enter a code and then you get... one of the 256 colors or something. /shrug -some mod edit this part please i dont understand the custom colors too much.
thanks for reading, hope this helped a bit xP feedback and criticizing is welcome; was bored and was just trying to help.
