Here at Pagan Forum, we use what is known as BB Code. There are some basic guides out there on the net, but for convienence of newer members and those older members that might not use it very often, I thought we could have a short guide to using BB here at PF!
First off...if you are on the Reply to topic page or Start new topic page, you see all the buttons...which is a handy way of inputing things without thinking about it--just highlight the words in question and click on B or I, etc or click and type between the
.
If you are using code, it is also helpful to hit the PREVIEW option, rather than the POST to make sure that its going to look how you *think* it should look!!!
But...if you want to do things that are a wee bit more complicated, you are going to have to either combine ideas or know how to use the code a little bit better.
Some examples:
Posting a link as text:
Shameless promotion of my awesome blog
The text you want linked goes inside of the url tags, and then the first url tag should have =www.yourdesiredwebsite.com added into the initial tag as shown...
Posting a link as an image:
Its basically the same idea as above, but url tags go outside of img tags, which take the place of text like so...
Posting a youtube:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKUGltGwN3U&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
Just put the youtube website between the youtube tags!
