Guide to Posting

[LarkoftheRiver]

stupid title is stupid
So you're new to this site, and you're fixing to make a new topic or post a reply. You see the post reply page and think woah what's all this crap? I'm here to share with you how to use this.

The posting thingamabob.
I'm going to go down the page and try to sound as intelligent as possible. Some features may be disabled on some forums. This isn't a glitch, I did that on purpose to be evil to prevent things from going out of hand. I have also disabled smilies, if you're wondering.

So you're above the big white box and see the words "Title of the Topic." Scary. The topic title goes here. Directly under is says "Description." Put a short description here.

Now we'll get to the options in the scary white box later. You can just type in it if you like.

Now as you go down you see "options." What there are buttons I must click. There are three options (four if you're editing your post, which I will cover later). The disable HTML in your post and disable BBCode will disable all coding you put into it.
Something like this hi will show up like [ b]Hi[ /b] no spacing.
Notify me when a reply is posted will send you an email when a reply is posted on the topic.
You can check and uncheck the boxes.

Add a poll. This is only activated for a few boards. You can only add a poll when you're posting a new topic.
Poll Question- Type on what you want to ask.
Poll Option- Type in answers. EACH ANSWER MUST BE ON A DIFFERENT LINE. Press enter between answer choices.
Run Poll for- How many days you want it open.
Multiple choice- Can you pick more than one answer?
Vote cancelling- Can you cancel your vote?

Finally, click submit.

Remember that some of these features may not be open when replying to a topic.

Editing Posts
Click the little edit button above your posts.

So you get this edit screen, which looks the same as the posting screen. Besides a few things. If its your topic, you can edit the title and description.

Reason for editing- why you edited it.

Options> Delete this post- Make it gone forever.

That's basically it for editing. Click send and its edited.
