I do this a lot, so I thought I would start a thread where tips could be provided for new people to peruse and for experienced posters to reference (using peek and copy the codes).
Here are my most common ones: type [qs]quotes are easy[/qs] and it becomes: quotes are easy
or type [quote]quotes are easy[/quote] and it becomes: quote: also check out (help) links on any formating questions when in the reply window. Go to Proposed New Topics to post new topics. type: [url=insert your url here]this message is linked to an url[/url] and it becomes: this message is linked to an url Long urls force the page to be wider than the screen, and thus make reading the posts difficult. Please edit the one you have in Message 1 so we can read the page. If you use the other reply buttons (there's one at the bottom right of each message): ... your message is linked to the one you are replying to (adds clarity). You can also look at the way a post is formated with the "peek" button next to it. the horizontal line is created by using You can use Then paste into a slide program where you can modify it if necessary and then export the slide as an image or into paint and use save-as. ... tips about posting pictures and where to host them may be appreciated. Deep links (to the jpg on some website) should be discouraged for a number of reasons. Enjoy.

it would be helpful if the subtitles reflected the tips within. Good idea, then this page becomes an automatic index of all the tips.

To control image size using the thumbnail function use
[thumb=600]http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/3677/chromosomesonetofivefo3.jpg[/thumb] and it becomes:
You can still access the full size picture by clicking on it, thus information is not lost in the reduction to fit the pages here. You can use almost any number to set the width, the default is 80, but the maximum should not be more than 700 to fit most screens, and 500 would be better. The image is also automatically centered (cool feature Percy!). Note: using this to make small pictures larger will result in "pixilated" blurring. Enjoy. Edited by Admin, : Reduce image width.

[ Table dBCodes are now available, see Table dBCodes Help. --Admin ]
For the adventurous, how to make a table with HTML:
The astute will note that this is a LOT of coding for the gold nuggets of your wisdom, and we're not done yet. The problem is that this contains return on lines that don't show text in the post so you get: (this is the first line of the table coding)
This is normally what you will get if you use a webpage editor to make the table in the "what you see is what you get" (WYSWYG for oldtimers) interface and then copy the coding. If you reduce it all to one continuous line of code you can get a usable result:
But editing it is worse.
An easy way to make simple tables is to use [code] and [/code] to preserve text with spaces
[indent][code] 2x2 table column 1 column 2 row 1 cell 11 cell 12 row 2 cell 21 cell 22 [/code][/indent] I prefer the keep it simple silly, or as Thoreau says "simplify" Enjoy.

Several people asked where to find the TID number to use in the [TID=(TID number)] code.
If you use PEEK on any message, in the navigation bar you get
