Updated on 2/7/2012


This Guide is to Help New EoFFers learn how to use tags and shortcuts.
If you feel I have overlooked something, PM me the tag. (tables, etc.)
TAGS----------------------




SPOILERS--


example:
(SPOILER)Hello


how to create:


[spoiler] What you want to hide [/ spoiler]
*no spaces*


To give the spoiler a title such as
Click Me EoFF is awesome
replace the first spoiler tag with:
[spoiler=TITLE]




To underline the spoiler title use the tag
[spoiler] Hidey stuff [/ spoiler]
*no spaces*


IMAGES--


To add an image you can click on the picture of a landscape at the top of the posting bar or alternatively you can put the web address of the image in the tags:
[IMG] website [/ IMG]
with no spaces


Notice that when uploading a picture the Image tags are automatically added.




VIDEO TAGS--


There are two different tags that are used when embedding videos.


Use the tag
[video] embeding link [/ video]
*no spaces*
Notice that this will not work for Youtube links and some other sites.


To embed a Youtube video, copy the embed code and remove the http and youtube codes from the link, leaving something resembling this
7ezeYJUz-84
place the code inside youtube tags that look like:
[youtube] [/ youtube]
*no spaces*
the end result will look like the following



Note that these embeded videos are best veiwed in any browser except Internet Explorer.


QUOTE TAGS--


The best way to quote someone is to simply click the quote button at the bottom of the posts, however if you wish to make up a quote or remember what someone said but not where they posted, you can use the tags:
[quote] quote goes here [/ quote]
with no spaces.

I think if someone cant search the faq to learn the bb code they shouldnt be using them.

Darnit, I had no Idea that existed.

Lol "A Newbie's Guide for Newbies."

It was a good effort, though.

It was a good effort. Glad to see people trying to help out newbies and whatnot. I know most people these days would be familiar with forums but there's no harm in being overprepared.
