Message Enhancements

When you click New Topic or Reply, you enter the popup posting screen. You'll see a row of icons representing all of the ways you can enhance your message, including: smilies, URLs, bold or italics, quotes, lists, email address, images, code, or attachments. Click these icons to add the desired information within your message.

Smilies (or Graemlins) - Note that the selected item will appear at the end of any text you have typed in the box. Icons will appear as typeface within this screen, but will be converted to the graphic icon once the message appears on the board.

URL - Click the URL button to type the URL and title, which will appear as hyperlinked text in your resulting post. Linked URLs will open in a new window when someone clicks on them. Do not use quotation marks within the URL tag.

Bold or Italics - You can make sections of your message bold or italic by clicking the button and typing the desired text in the box. You can also manually enclose any words in the tags to make them bold: ["b"]["/b"]

Quote - Click this button to make the

tags appear. The software will automatically block and indent the text to set it apart from the rest of your message. It's easiest to copy the text you wish to quote before you open the "post reply" or "new topic" box.

List - To create a bulleted list, click the list icon. You must place a "list start" tag at the beginning. Next click "list item" and type your item next to the asterisk tag. Continue until you have completed your list. Each list item must have an asterisk tag in front of it. Close the list with the "list end" tag.

If you'd prefer to have a numbered list, use these opening/closing tags: [list=1][/list]. For a lettered list, substitute an "A" in the opening tag. Email address - If you use this button, the email address you type will be automatically hyperlinked within your message.

Include a Signature with my Message

Whenever you post a new topic or a reply, you have the opportunity to include a standard signature. If you check the "signature" box, your signature will be appended to your message. Your signature is part of the information included in your Profile, which you can change at any time by clicking the My Space tab. Note: You may use HTML in your signature file if the administrator permits it. However, it is safest to use plain text or UBBCode™ rather than HTML.
