HELLO THERE

I LIKE TAGS. THEY SUCK ARE AWESOME. I WANT TO SHOW ALL OF THEM.

((OOC: Actually, no, but I WILL use this thread to tell you about the different tags, and the quirks of two specific tags. Remember that it's always best to use the Preview button if you used a majority of these tags in order to make sure they all worked out okay. As most web designers will say, a single mistake will absolutely destroy the look of what you're posting if you're not too careful.))

LET US GET STARTED.

Basics: Bold, Italics, Underline, Quote, Lists, Images, URLs, Font Size, Font Color, Center. They're simple enough to work with if you've been in a forum before. Just click them and go. There's a nice list of colors on the side where you can change the color and a drop-down menu for the font size.

Smilies: Yeah, they count! I don't want to make an entire thread dedicated to the list of smileys and the code for each, so I'll just make this brief. Click the smiley you want to use in the post and they will appear on the post in their code. Be sure to check "View more smilies" to see more smilies to use.

OOC: This is the Out of Character font style, used mostly for roleplaying in the Roleplaying boards. Use this to specify when you're talking out of character versus when you're talking in-character.

Code: If you're working with code for some reason, use the code tag to display it. This keeps the board from changing shape.

Youtube: As this is a phpBB board, we can't exactly embed Youtube videos the normal way. Thus, we have the Youtube tag.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syCHAxeR2lM
Simply use the URL above, take off everything but the part after "=" and you have what you want to put into the Youtube tag, like so.

And your final result will be:


As mentioned in the Rules Thread, don't post more than one Youtube video per post, and don't leave videos in quoted posts.

Spoiler: Use this tag for posting stuff that could be considered a spoiler to the discussion at hand.

Hidden: Use this tag to hide text from the viewer. It should be obvious that you shouldn't misuse this.

DA: This tag has lost its usefulness and will most likely be going away soon.

I think that's it. We always have open ears when it comes to special tags for the forum. If you can think of some, don't be shy about posting about it in the Site Support board.

As always, have fun.
