"How to" thread

[Schreck157]

Can the more experienced users out there show me, and hopefully other people who don't have the courage to ask, how to do some of the simple tricks when typing on the forums. Eg. how to make bold text, how to get that line through your text, how to change colors, etc. etc.

HTML tags. To do bold, you start with (without the spaces, obviously) - [ b ] <wordswordswords [ /b ]

Italics is I, underline is U, strikthrough is S and so on. You can probably find a list online fairly easily.

You can add images by typing "[ img ] the link here [/img ]" but without the spaces.
