How do I integrate someone else's quotes into my posts. I see a lot of posts where the author uses someone else's quotes but looks like they did something special, can someone tell me what they did? Thanks.

To reply with a quote, click the Quote icon (the little memo with the arrow pointing right) at the top of the post you want to quote. The UBB software inserts the proper codes and text into your reply.

You can manually add the formatting features of this board. Hint: click on the "*UBB Code is ON" link on the left side of the "Your Reply" pane - you'll get a little window on the codes and how to use them.

Check out the UBB Code page... it gives all the UBB commands.

All you need for images is a valid URL and viola!


You can even link an image to a URL:
<A HREF="http://www.visorcentral.com" TARGET=_blank> </A>

UBB code is fairly simple and easy to use once you get the hang of it.

So how do you put "smilies" in the message text? (Not the message icon, in the text)instead of, say, :-)

It's understandable... you come here for the CONTENT, not the fluff. But it's the fluff that makes it so fun.

For our next lesson, how about UBB Code-101?

(and you all thought only the Visor was C L!)
