Lame question

[VOLTAN]

I know this is a lame waste of a post question, but......how do I get my cut & paste news to look like a quote like the rest of y'all do?  I just want my shit to look as fancy as the rest of the site members.

Ok now everyone laugh at the noob.

you need to hit the quote button... it's the one that is right above the smileys, with the kissy face, and crying face.

Thanks, I got that one down.  I'm talking about when I post news from other sites.  I see a lot of you here get that quoteish looking background for those.  I'm jealous. haha

A lot of the tags are semi-automated for you via button options, but its standard BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) which is a markup language like HTML or XML.  Here are some other examples:

Once you understand how it works, its pretty simple.

Thanks for the heads up Omni. BBCode looks hella easier than HTML.

Based on what I read, I should be able to make this in italics, and this underlined.


Edit:Kickass! It worked!  Thanks again Omni!
