This is just a quick beginners guide on how to use this forum for those that are new to it. Hope its useful
STARTING A THREAD
Threads are discussion topics and all registered users are free to start them providing they are in the correct board. To start a thread, simply click on the Create Thread button, enter a topic title and write what you'd like to say
The "Font Face" drop down changes the font your post will appear in, the Font Size drop down gives you the option to change the size of the text. All the other text options etc are the same as anywhere else
REPLYING TO A THREAD
There are two different ways to reply to existing threads. One is a Quick Reply where you can just type your reply and add it, the other is the Full Reply where you are able to customise your text. Both options are found at the bottom of the thread
ADDING AN AVATAR AND SIGNATURE
Click the profile button (at the top directly underneath Grant Gustin's cheek). Once in the Profile screen you will see a button that says Edit Profile. Once clicked, you will be given the Avatar options. You can upload your own avatar or create one
The second tab along is the Personal tab where you can change your personal information. If you scroll down their is a text field labelled Signature. in here you can add an image or text that will appear at the bottom of every post you make. To add an image, firstly upload it to Photobucket, TinyPic, ImageShack or another image hosting site, then copy the [IMG][/IMG] code and paste it into that box
[b][/b] makes text bold
[i][/i] makes text italic
[u][/u] underlines text
[s][/s]strikes through text
[color=red][/color] makes text red (you can use any colour or Hex code using the #)
[center][/center]centres text
[right][/right]right aligns text
[url=link]text here[/url] inserts a link with a title instead of URL
Add the full http:// link, then where it says "text here" add the text you'd like to use
For example: [url=http://flashfans.boards.net/user/1]link to my profile[/url] = links to my profile
