I have a suggestion for the site, I think that along with the rules of the forum page, there should be a page explaining how to use different features in the forum. Such as:

1. How do you quote someone else?
2. When you make a link, can you make it one word, instead of http://www.somehugeurl.com
3. Is there code to make words bold, underlined, ect?
4. Can you embed pictures or anything like that? (I would guess no.)
5. Also I think it should explain how to create an avatar, for people who don't know. (Go to gravatar.com)

I noticed that it has this info when you post that probably answers my questions:

Allowed markup: a blockquote code em strong ul ol li.
You can also put code in between backtick ( ` ) characters.

But seriously, I can't figure that out, it's like trying to decipher crop circles.

I see others making bolded text but I cant work it out.

I thought it was [b] sample [/b]

But that doesn't work.

You can use the markup listed "Allowed markup:" under where you make your post

@Sky:
1. With blockquote, for now
2. See "Allowed markup:" the "a" will do that
3. Yes, see "Allowed markup:"
4. No, but I imagine I can add the img tag
5. That was really confusing for me too

@Ed
Use strong as listed in "Allowed markup"

I'm still not sure what the backticks are about.
