This is my in depth guide to posing on the forums.
 
The first thing you are probably going to want to know about is how to put images in your post. If the image is already online then it's very easy, I will use our banner for my example:
 
First right click on the image you want and select the 'Copy Image Location' option
tumblr_n2ajie3ZMM1riaf9ko1_1280.png
 
This will copy the address of the image you selected.
 
Now to get the image in your post you can do one of two things, click the icon for images
tumblr_n2agb3lwzk1riaf9ko1_1280.jpg
 
and paste the address in.

The other way is to type the image code directly into your post like this
[img=http://www.brohoof.com/forums/public/style_images/brohoof_title.png]
It will look like this if you do it correctly

If the image you want to include in your post is not online then you will have to upload it to a hosting site like imgur then you can get the image into your post in exactly the same way.
 
--------------------------------
 
Next is videos, to post a video from Youtube all you need to do is paste the address of the video into your post and it should automatically appear.

--------------------------------
 
If you need to include a picture, video or just text that might spoil the plot of something for someone else you should use spoiler tags. To do this is very simple
[spoiler]your text goes here[/spoiler]
Spoiler

 
If you want to put an image in the spoilers then the code will look like this
[spoiler][img=http://www.brohoof.com/forums/public/style_images/brohoof_title.png][/spoiler]
Spoiler

 
There are many things you can do with this code like:
[b] to bold, [i] for italic, [u] to underline, [color=blue] to have cool blue text, [font=courier] to change the font
Remember, you must close the code in reverse order and don't forget the / in the closing code. (to close color and font you only need /color or /font in the brackets)
 
--------------------------------
 
To post a link to another thread on the forum or maybe a link to an external site is also very easy.
 
You have two options again, you can either paste the link in your post like this: http://www.brohoof.c...n-in-one-place/
 
or you can turn any text into a link like this : All you need to know.
 
To do the second method just click this icon with the text you want to be the link highlighted
tumblr_n2akslgSpl1riaf9ko1_1280.png
 
and past the link.

The final thing is that a lot of things have already been asked and answered very thoroughly over the years so before you make a post asking how something is done please try the search function we have at the top right of the forum.
