This is meant to be a helpful guide to those struggling with quoting, posting links, posting pictures, and spoilers. For help with other issues, visit the Forum FAQ and the BBCode Guide.
QUOTING
The best way to quote somebody is to use the  in the upper right of their post.
However, to help you understand how all that stuff in the post works, here's how to do it manually:
Surround your text with QUOTE tags as indicated:
| Code: |
| [QUOTE]hello all[/QUOTE] |
which displays like this:
To attribute this quote to something, you can simply add an equal sign and any text in quotation marks immediately after the word QUOTE:
| Code: |
| [QUOTE="hamburger"]hello all[/QUOTE] |
which displays like this:
| hamburger wrote: |
| hello all |
To quote somebody quoting somebody else:
| Code: |
[QUOTE="Billy"][QUOTE="Tommy"][QUOTE="Billy"][QUOTE="Tommy"]
Tommy's first post[/QUOTE]
Billy's first reply[/QUOTE]
Tommy's first reply[/QUOTE]
Billy's second reply[/QUOTE]
>>> Tommy's latest reply would go here <<< |
which displays like this:
| Billy wrote: |
| Tommy wrote: |
| Billy wrote: |
| Tommy wrote: |
Tommy's first post |
Billy's first reply |
Tommy's first reply |
Billy's second reply |
>>> Tommy's latest reply would go here <<<
LINKS
If you type a URL beginning with http or www into you post it should appear as a link automatically.
shows up as
http://1980s.fm
and
as
www.1980s.fm
Surround your full link with the URL tags as indicated:
| Code: |
| [URL]http://1980s.fm/[/URL] |
which displays like this:
http://1980s.fm/
Sometimes links are super long and make the page too wide for normal viewing:
Just move the first closing bracket to after the end of the link and add an equal sign in front of the link.
Then put a name for your link between the URL tags:
| Code: |
| [URL=http://1980s.fm] >> 1980s.FM <<[/URL] |
which displays like this:
>> 1980s.FM <<
PICTURES
Save your picture to a hosting service where they will give you a full link to the picture beginning with http and ending with the file name.
| Code: |
| http://1980s.fm/images/logos/1980s_logo-200x200.png |
To make this appear as an image in your posts, you must add the IMG tags:
| Code: |
| [IMG]http://1980s.fm/images/logos/1980s_logo-200x200.png[/IMG] |
which displays like this:
ADVANCED
You can also make your pictures a click-able link:
Take your image code here:
| Code: |
| [IMG]http://1980s.fm/images/logos/1980s_logo-200x200.png[/IMG] |
And insert it here as indicated:
| Code: |
| [URL=http://1980s.fm] >>INSERT FULL IMAGE LINK AND TAGS HERE<< [/URL] |
Then you get this code:
| Code: |
| [URL=http://1980s.fm][IMG]http://1980s.fm/images/logos/1980s_logo-200x200.png[/IMG][/URL] |
which displays like this:
[img]http://1980s.fm/images/logos/1980s_logo-200x200.png
[/img]

Spoilers
To hide text so that others must highlight it to read it, use the spoiler tag.
Surround your hidden text with the spoiler tags:
| Code: |
| [spoiler]Hidden Text[/spoiler] |
that will show up like this:
Tables
You can create simple tables by using the following syntax (borrowed from HTML)
| Code: |
[table]
[tr][th]Cell Header[th]Cell Header[/tr]
[tr][td]Row 1 Cell 1[td]Row 1 Cell 2[/tr]
[tr][td]Row 2 Cell 1[td]Row 2 Cell 2[/tr]
[tr][td]Row 3 Cell 1[td]Row 3 Cell 2[/tr]
[/table] |
will produce
| Cell Header | Cell Header |
|---|
| Row 1 Cell 1 | Row 1 Cell 2 | | Row 2 Cell 1 | Row 2 Cell 2 | | Row 3 Cell 1 | Row 3 Cell 2 |
Rules:
- each table starts with [ table ] and ends with [ /table ]
- for each row, you need to start with a [ tr ] and end with a [ /tr ]
- [ th ] permits to create a header cell
- [ td ] creates a normal cell but you can optionally use
- [ tdl ], [ tdr ], [ tdc ] to indicate that the content of a cell will be aligned by the left, the right or the center.
