[Poomanchu745]

I need a short guide that i cant find posted anywhere on how to do certain stuff like:
Embed videos and make spoilers so you click on them to show the hidden text.

Anyone make a short help me guide?

OK for spoilers, type [*spoilers] TEXT GOES HERE [*/spoilers] without the *

for Bolding [*b] TEXT GOES HERE [*/b] without * for underlining, replace B with u For Italic, replace B with i

for striking out things you have to HIT THE RED BUTTON!!! type [*strike] TEXT GOES HERE [*/strike] and presto.

For youtube videos, first get a URL like say

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KlufsoOaAQ

Take out the 9KlufsoOaAQ

Then plug it in here, [*youtube=9KlufsoOaAQ] Video goes up without of course the *

AS for text size and colour, no idea.

*edit*

HOLY SHIT I'VE GONE GONZO AND JUST NOTICED YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

That shows you most of the basic functions for BB coding stuff like spoilers and bold.

To embed videos in your post:

Take this part of the Youtube URL that is bolded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKJmThO5jrE.

Then paste it after the = below.

*youtube=* Replace * with []
