bullet Topic: How to use the text forum codes
    Posted: Jun-28-2005 at 4:40pm
You can post your message in a format different from our forum software's default setting. The buttons for each forum code are found above the message window. All of these tools are easy to use; simply choose the forum code you want and follow the prompts given.

Note: The default setting will almost always be the easiest format to read. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Use forum codes wisely; excessive use and multiple font changes can make your post difficult to read.

To change font, size or color (or colour as it is written here), click on the appropriate window's arrow (found above the message box), select your preference and follow any prompts given.

To bold, italicize or underline text, use the buttons found above the message window.
B - bold
I - italics
U with a line under it - underline

When posting lengthy messages, forum codes that allow you to center, indent, or bullet or number text will arrange your message in an easier to read format.

The 6th box from the left allows you to center your text

The 7th box from the left
  • allows you to bullet
  • or number items.

            The 8th box from the left will allow you to indent text.

Text changes will always be inserted at the end of the message, not where the prompt is placed.
