You can insert the BBCodes directly when you use the QuickReply. To get used to using BBCodes, use the full reply option, read the questions carefully, and then check out the code it produces for you. Here's how to interpret it: The things in [] are tags. Most things, there is a beginning and end tag. The end tag is the same as the begining one, with / added. So, to make text ugly, you'd surround it with [UGLY] This text is to look ugly [/UGLY] For some things, you add what I think is called an attribute to the begining tag. For URL's, the attribute is the actual URL. The text you want displayed is between the begining and end tag. (Take out the x's -- they're in so the system doesn't realize that they're tags.) [xURL=http://www.dummyurl.com/index] This text will be seen. [/xURL] This text will be seen. The EMAIL tag works the same way -- the actual address is in begining tag, and what you want people to see is between the two tags. The big thing to remember is that the stuff in the brackets is hidden -- it's the URL or the address or other instructions. The stuff you actually see is between the tags, but not in the brackets. The full Reply option has a Preview button. Very useful. Cheers! Cricket

Trying it out with the Sluggy Freelance webcomic. This is Elvin, trying out BBCode in the Quick Reply. Will it work? Who knows! Thanks for all the tips, Cricket! I certainly don't want to get a whuppin' from Cep. Grin Edit: Ah, no spaces either. Tricksy little code... Edit 2: Er...I can't spell URL...*smacks forehead*

Awe. Cuddles. Much better than the rewards from my former job, and not as hard to clean up after as the rewards from my current one.
