Forum instructions (3)
Is the only way to follow a post to subscribe to it which does not seem to save/work all the time?
Just new to this whole forum posting/replying/following. I read a lot of posts and would want to refer back to them. Do I bookmark them? Any instructions here?
And what is the BB code quote for replying. How to find it and use it?
Sorry if this sounds dumb but I am new to forums.
Thank you.
I haven't tried Thread Tools > Subscribe to this Thread so can't comment. I always just reply in the thread and that would automatically subscribe me to it. Threads I want to refer back to again and again, I would bookmark them in my browser.
For formatting, there's the bar at the top of the editing window/frame. Simply highlight the text you want to apply the formatting to, then click whichever button (e.g. bold, quote, font size, font color, hyperlink...) to apply the formatting.
(The bubble icon on the extreme right is the quote icon.)
Also - here's a list of bbcode tags for your reference:

One more thing: I don't remember if you've attached images in posts yet, and if so, how you did it. I'll mention it anyway: Don't use the forum post attachment function to attach images. It's very hit-and-miss and the images would often not show up correctly. I use lightshot to do screenshots, then go to imgur and do a CTRL+V on my keyboard to paste it there, then grab the bbcode link and paste that into a forum post. Quick and simple and gets the job done every time.
Hope that helps!
