Questions regarding how to format text, insert links and images, etc.. come up every so often so we thought it would be a good idea to put together a FAQ. Please feel free to post in this thread if something is not covered or clear. You can also use this thread to practice.
<hr>
For bold text, use this code:


bold text<hr>For italicised text, use this code:


italicised text<hr>For underlined text, use this code:


underlined text<hr>Of course, you can use any or all of the text formatting together: Example.


Example<hr>To add color to text, use this code:


Red
Example: Red

The color code variables are as follows:

darkred
red
orange
brown
yellow
green
olive
cyan
blue
darkblue
indigo
violet
white
black<hr>To change the size of the text use this code:


18pt Text
Example:18pt Text

You can set the size from 7 to 29 (12 is normal): 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29<hr>To post a clickable text link, use this code:


SkiMRV.com (http://www.skimrv.com)
Example: SkiMRV.com (http://www.skimrv.com). It's a good idea to add bold text formatting as it makes the links stand out more.<hr>To embed an image in a post, use this code:

http://forums.skimrv.com/templates/MorpheusXSteelBlue/images/sblue/logo.gif
Example:
http://forums.skimrv.com/templates/MorpheusXSteelBlue/images/sblue/logo.gif

You can also combine IMG and URL tags to make a clickable image:

http://forums.skimrv.com/templates/MorpheusXSteelBlue/images/sblue/logo.gif (http://forums.skimrv.com/index.php)
Example:
http://forums.skimrv.com/templates/MorpheusXSteelBlue/images/sblue/logo.gif (http://forums.skimrv.com/index.php)

When embedding an image, please be sure you have rights to the Web server that is hosting it. It is consider poor netiquette to embed images that are hosted on servers where you don't own the web space or have the right to post the image outside of the hosting site.<hr>For a bulleted list use this code:


Item 1 Item 2 Item 3
Example: Item 1 Item 2 Item 3<hr>For a non-bulleted list use this code:


Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

Example:Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
<hr>For a numbered list use this code:


Item 1 Item 2 Item 3
Example: Item 1 Item 2 Item 3<hr>If you prefer letters instead of numbers for your numbered list use this code:


Item 1 Item 2 Item 3
Example: Item 1 Item 2 Item 3<hr>You can combine some list types and formatting too:

Item 1
Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 2
Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 3
Item 1 Item 2
Example: Item 1
[list=a:ef93874a80] Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 2
Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 3
Item 1 Item 2[/list:o:ef93874a80]<hr>This is how to post the thumbnail from a gallery album into a post. First, get the properties of the thumbnail (right-click on the thumbnail image and select properties). This will show you the direct path to the thumbail. For example, Greg's Castlerock picture thumbail is here:

http://forums.skimrv.com/albums/album01/DSC05954.thumb.jpg

I then take note of the url to the gallery page with the full image. It's here:

http://forums.skimrv.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album01&id=DSC05954&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php

Then use this code:


http://forums.skimrv.com/albums/album01/DSC05954.thumb.jpg (http://forums.skimrv.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album01&id=DSC05954&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php)
(be sure the above code is all on one line. A return was added to make it visible here) to produce this:

http://forums.skimrv.com/albums/album01/DSC05954.thumb.jpg (http://forums.skimrv.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album01&id=DSC05954&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php)

Use the above code as a guideline by modifying the paths to the desired thumbnail image and Gallery page URL.<hr>If you see something that someone else posted and you wonder how they did it, you can just click on the "QUOTE" button to see how they did it (don't click submit if you don't really want to quote their post).<hr>
