This is meant to be a helpful guide to those struggling with quoting, posting links, posting pictures, and spoilers. For help with other issues, visit the Forum FAQ and the BBCode Guide.
QUOTING
The best way to quote somebody is to use the in the upper right of their post.
However, to help you understand how all that stuff in the post works, here's how to do it manually:
Surround your text with QUOTE tags as indicated:
Code:
[QUOTE]hello all[/QUOTE]
which displays like this:
Quote:
hello all
To attribute this quote to something, you can simply add an equal sign and any text in quotation marks immediately after the word QUOTE:
Code:
[QUOTE="hamburger"]hello all[/QUOTE]
which displays like this:
hamburger wrote:
hello all
To quote somebody quoting somebody else:
Code:
[QUOTE="Billy"][QUOTE="Tommy"][QUOTE="Billy"][QUOTE="Tommy"]
Tommy's first post[/QUOTE]
Billy's first reply[/QUOTE]
Tommy's first reply[/QUOTE]
Billy's second reply[/QUOTE]
>>> Tommy's latest reply would go here <<<

LINKS
If you type a URL beginning with http or www into you post it should appear as a link automatically.
Sometimes links are super long and make the page too wide for normal viewing:
Just move the first closing bracket to after the end of the link and add an equal sign in front of the link.
Then put a name for your link between the URL tags:
If you're linking to something on Amazon, please be sure to include the 27seven.fm partner code. Anything you order from following a link with the partner code in it will allow 24seven to get some of the proceeds.
where ASIN-VALUE-HERE is the ASIN for the product.
For example, to link to John Williams' Star Wars: Episode IV score (with the ASIN of B0002YCVIS, which you can easily see in the address bar of your browser when you're on an amazon product page) you'd use:
Rules:
- each table starts with [ table ] and ends with [ /table ]
- for each row, you need to start with a [ tr ] and end with a [ /tr ]
- [ th ] permits to create a header cell
- [ td ] creates a normal cell but you can optionally use
- [ tdl ], [ tdr ], [ tdc ] to indicate that the content of a cell will be aligned by the left, the right or the center.
