Actually, an easier way is to just do "/me" instead of "me=yournamehere"
What? How?

where's the part about suits
On page 230, paragraph 8, sentence 3.

Oh, and another thing that's probably not-so-useful, if you want to quote somebody but they're too far back and you're lazy, and you see somebody quoting them below, then right click on the quote title (Quote from: Nonnel on Today at 12:16:20 AM, for example.) and click "Copy Link Address" and paste it in the post box, copy the person's words in the quote, then just add "[/quote]" at the end.

kinda useful to me whenever I feel too lazy to hit backspace/back arrow.

oh and this.

What? How?
If you're not being sarcastic, type "/me" without the dots that I can't remember the names of.

For example;
* Decepticon just used /me instead of me=yournamehere

But if you're signifying something that someone else is doing, that's not very helpful.

Look in the code box part.

I guess I read OP wrong then. Oh, and there's a code that lets you have words appear on your text, forgot it though.
Wait, found it.
Suits are great.

Emotes are pretty obvious, but there is a little snippet saying not to use them too much.

I'm sort of surprised that no one's sent anything to that email.

but where do you say anything about the forums?

this is just an extremely basic guide to Bulletin Board Code
this has nothing to do with this forum in particular

Well we're on this forum, and this is just some stuff that someone might one day think is useful.

If you're like me and you're trying to explain some of these html codes to someone, you might want to try the [nobbc][/nobbc] commands.
you meant BBCode, didn't you?
html doesn't even work on here anyway

Edit: except for the [html][/html] tags, which doesn't even do anything as far as i know

it does if you use [html][/html]

(actually that might not do anything on this forum. not sure. badspot disabled a lot, like [glow][/glow] and [flash][/flash])
