How to post and create a thread

Thread
Start by choosing ware you want to post said thread.
Make sure you post in the correct place or you may get told off.

Once your in the place of the website were you want to post, simply click the button that says: "New Thread".

Once you have done this, it shows two boxes, a "title" box, and a "message" box.

The title box is what will show up as a title to your piece of work.
The message box is what your going to post inside.

Once you have written your message, you may notice a few boxes saying, Additional Options. In this box there are also a few titles saying, Miscellaneous Options, Attach Files, Thread Subscription, Post a Poll and Thread Management.

Miscellaneous options
This box shows a few tick boxes saying, Show your signature, Automatically parse links in text and Disable smilies in text.

Its recommended that you show your signature.
Your signature is usually at the bottom of ever Poll, post and Thread you write. As you may be able to see after all this, I have my signature. Thats what yours should look like.

Automatically parse links in text very simply turns all urls [[ web addresses ]] that you write into links to that web address.

Disable smilies is getting rid of all the funny faces. Here is an example of some smilies:

Attach Files
This option is mainly about attachments... we will come to this later in the Tutorial.

Thread Subscription
This will show the thread on your User CP for easy access. Read more about this later in the Tutorial.

Post a Poll
Read more about this function later in the Tutorial.

Thread Management
This contains Close this thread after you submit your message and Stick this thread after you submit your message.

What Closing a thread is, is making the thread unable to be posted in.
What sticking a thread is, is making the thread stick to the top.

Only moderators and administrators can use these functions.

How to use the User CP

A bit tricky, but you will get used to it.

Here it COULD show SOME OF these Panels: New Subscribed Threads, Latest Reputation Received and
the Control Panel.

New Subscribed Threads

Latest Reputation Received
This shows why people have added to your reputation. Reputation is given if you have done
something good. Bad reputation is given if you have done something bad.

How to change your font/size/style of your text

On this forum, unlike others, its very easy to do this. So I'm going to tell you how to on usual
forums, and how to on this forum.

Usual Forums
On usual forums, theres one rule. ALWAYS close off your marks!
To color something red, you would type:
["color=red"]This is what you would type["/color"]
You may notice, I have closed it at the end, with a [/] type mark.
This works the same for boldness.
["b"]This is what you would type around to make things bold["/b"]
["i"]This is what you would type around to make things Italic["/i"]
["u"]This is what you would type around to make things underlined["/u"]
Don't forget to take out the "'s
Theres also a way of centering text.
["align=center"]This would put your text in the middle["/align"]

There are loads more, but these are the main ones used.

This Forum
This forum has buttons. It has a center button, a changing font button, and anything else you could
think of. What this does is does the same oparation, but all the marks around the words are hidden!
Doing this means that you only have to press a button. So its easyer.


How to attach a picture to a post

This again is very simple using the tools on the website.

Step One
Click the New Thread Icon

Step Two
Click the side of the "Paper Clip" Picture on the top tool bar.

Step Three
Choose to add a picture allready on the net, or off your computer.
Skip step four if the picture is off the net.

Step four
Click browse then upload.
Skip step five.

Step five
Type in the URL to upload the picture from.

Step Seven
Click Upload

There you have it! All done!


How to "Quote"

Quoting is a process in which when your on a forum, you are talking to that SPECIFIC person.
Or if your saying things like bla bla was a useless post.

To do this, very simply look for the post you want to "Quote" and look at the bottom right hand
corner. Theres a button what says "Quote". Press this and you will see a reply box.
In the reply box, theres some writing surrounded by [quote] marks.
Under this type your message back to that person.

Carefully though! Don't go off topic!


How to add/remove a Link

Because of new functions, to add a link to a website, just type in the website.
To remove the link, just backspace the writing.


How to insert smilies

This is very simple. It matters whether you replying or not but it all works in the same way.

Simply click on the smile you want in the bar next to you.
These can also be made by typing things like:

:"o and :") without the "'s will come out like this: &

Hopefully you found the answers you needed!
