How do I post an image or photo in a topic?
You can only post images in the Unofficial Greenlight Parties Forum and The Contestants Forum. In all other forums you can post links to photos, but not the images themselves. Post your photo on a webserver. You can use one of the many free services, which will allow you to upload an image file right from your desktop. From there you just need to know the URL of that image. When you post the URL on the board, use this code: [img] before the URL, and use this code: [/img] after the URL. This will link the photo to your message, and the photo will appear when you post.
How do I format my message?
Optional formatting tags can be used whenever you post a message. Simply click "Optional Formatting" next to the message box for information on formatting your message, inclusing how to add links, bold and italicize your message text, and include images in forums where they are allowed.
