Here on the forum, we use what is called BBCode. Unlike HTML that uses < >, We use [ ]
We start our tags with brackets/braces.

Here is a quick explination of what you can do on a forum.



This explination came from:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/bbcode.php

The forum is also equiped with a very nice set of posting tools.


In order to post a picture, you need to go to a site that allows hotlinking/image host service.

Here is the one I use.

http://www.imageshack.us/


You upload your picture there and then wait till it's done uploading, then you can just copy the last URL at the bottom named Direct link to image. Imageshack gives you 2 options.
1.-You can upload images directly from your PC/Hard drive (See the file button?)
2.-Or you can copy and paste the URL of an image into the upload bar. (See the button marked URL?)

Peace.


I hope I was able to explain it good enough. You can go to the spam section of the forum and test what you have learned there.

Peace X 2
