The answers to life's many questions.
Posting a picture:
[img]link to picture[/img]
If the picture you would like to share is on your hard drive as opposed to on the web I suggest creating a photobucket account. It’s very easy to use and makes sharing personal pictures across the web much easier.
Example:
Embedding a link:
[url=link]your text[/url]
Example:
Diamonds for Women
Quoting text:
If you want to quote a particular person you can simply click on the “quote” button in the upper right hand corner of the person’s post. Or you can do the following:
[quote=“Name”] [/quote]
Example:
Pat Burrell wrote: | I’m secretly in love with Kristin |

LOL...
Thanks for posting. I probably should have done this a long time ago instead of answering individual questions. _________________ "The Dodgers have always occupied an enormous place in the history of the game.

I'd have made this a sticky if I could but only you and Harpo have those powers. |

Just to make you all aware...
There is an FAQ section at the top of this board, located next to the logo, as well. _________________ "The Dodgers have always occupied an enormous place in the history of the game. If the Yankees are the most successful team in baseball history, the Dodgers are the most essential. Their legacy is unique."

Thanks "DianaPrince" that was helpful. I went to the FAQ thread, (like DB6 said) but I didn't see where it explains how to quote ppl. If the explanation is there I'm to say I didn't see it. Next, I'll graduate to posting pics.. I'll eventually feel more comfortable posting here. I feel like the "new kid" in school, I still don't know everybody.

Here's what DP wrote:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See the toolbar at the top with the B (bold), italics, etc. line? That's where you find "quote." Click that first, then copy the text you want to quote and paste it in. Then click "quote" again to unquote it.
It will look like this on your screen:
until you actually post it.
Or if you want to do it more specifically like DianaPrince posted above, you can try that too.  _________________ "The Dodgers have always occupied an enormous place in the history of the game.

You can also type or paste what you want quoted, highlight it, and then click the "quote" button in the toolbar above the test box.
I also dislike the FAQ that is part of the software. It seems to me that it doesn't explain itself overly well and can seem complicated to people who aren't internet saavy. |

I agree completely. In fact, I'm so disappointed in the built-in help features of PHPBB, I'm about ready to suggest to Linda that she demand her money back!!
