Hello everyone!
Alright, so I've gotten quite a few PMs from people over the years asking how to do various things on this Board. The goal of this thread is to answer any and all technical questions you have about how this board works, and how you perform common tasks. If you feel something is missing from this thread, reply here (or PM me) and let me know what you'd like added and I'll be glad to add it (assuming it makes sense to)
BBCode is used to add anything other than plain text to posts, PMs, and signatures here. Below is an overview of how you can use BBCode to enhance your posts here. (note: above the Message field are buttons that will add BBCode for you)
