How to format your post.

[admin]

You've been browsing the forum and you've noticed that there are green and yellow (in my firefox it's yellow) boxes surrounding some of the images.

The green boxes are for the spoiler bbcode.

Code: Select all

[spoiler]Your text[/spoiler]

Using the above code would show this

Hidden text: ON

---

Available only to registered users.

EDIT: Code changed 7.20.10 . You no longer have to use the hide bbcode with the spoiler bbcode. Hide has been included with the spoiler code.

Anything placed within the spoiler bbcode can be viewed by all that click the link to view.
Important note: Only the first post within the topic can be viewed by guest.

The yellowish box is for the hide bbcode.

Code: Select all

[hide]Your hidden text from guest![/hide]

The above would show this.
Your hidden text from guest!

You're a member, so you can see whats inside the hidden text box.

Now to make your first post! This is an example for starting a new topic.

Per the forum rules. You are not allowed to have more than 12 viewable images for guest.
I've taken this code from one of my post.

This is what the code looks like.
On the 9th line down from the top. You will see where I've used both the spoiler and hide bbcode.
At the very end, you will see the closing tags for the bbcode that was used to hide the images.
Note where the code was added. It's placed after a url closing.

Code: Select all

[/url]

This way, you do not break the image link.

Code: Select all

Since it's the first post in the topic. I cannot show more than 12 images to guest.
As you can see, I cut it off at 6. The tits came out quick in this set and I do not want to spoil our guest.

First you have to hi-lite (select) the text you want to apply the code to. Use your mouse and click and drag to select the text. I find it easier to start at the end of the text and scroll to the top. Once you have the text selected. All you have to do is click the hide bbcode button and then the spoiler bbcode button. This should wrap the text you've selected with the bbcode. There are several ways to go about adding bbcode to your post just as there are several ways to hi-lite (select) text. Do what works best for you.

The above code gives you this result.

Hidden text: ON

Available only to registered users.

As you can see, I've hidden the spoiler tag inside the hide bbcode preventing our guest from seeing any of the other images in this set.
You can place the hide bbcode inside the spoiler tag as well. Either way is fine.

This is my attempt to give you an idea as to how we make post.

Here's what a guest will see on the portal page.

To add an additional set to a topic. Make a reply to post.

So we have a babe that you want to add an image set to.
Taking the code from the above post. The only thing we change is that we no longer need the hide bbcode.
Guest cannot view replies anyhow. So what's the point in hiding it.

Code: Select all

With replies, there are no established rules for how many images you can show, or that you are even required to use the spoiler code. We've taken to using the spoiler code on replies to help keep the topic easier to navigate. To me, it also helps with load time.

With this info in hand. You should be able to post like a pro!

I'm open to suggestion on ways to improve this.

[lightnig]

nice write up dude

I was planning to do one myself, after that one post earlier tonight, but you beat me to it, good job.

[jake18]

Oh sure! NOW he tells me!!!
Just kidding, of course. That's very helpful - thank you very much.

You no longer have to use the hide bbcode. It's been included with the spoiler bbcode.

EDIT: Hide code no longer works alone. You must use the spoiler code.
