SPOILER TEXT

Here's a simple way to do spoiler text(the spoiler hack is somewhat glitched)...

CODE
[COLOR=#F0F0F0] text here [/COLOR]


that ^ equals this: < text here >


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BBCODE

Beyond the general bold, italics, underline, quote, code, list, font color and size, there are these codes which don't have buttons for them available.

CODE
[s]This is sample text[/s]

This is sample text


CODE
[hr]

this will create:




CODE
[align=left]This is sample text[/align]

This is sample text



CODE
[align=center]This is sample text[/align]

This is sample text



CODE
[align=right]This is sample text[/align]

This is sample text



CODE
[sub]Subscript sample text[/sub]

Normal Text Subscript sample text


CODE
[sup]Superscript sample text[/sup]

Normal Text Superscript sample text


CODE
(r)

CODE
(c)

CODE

POLLS

Poll 1....An Either Or Type of Poll.

If you want a poll to be a one where the users have to pick one over all the other choices, you should choose the Single Choice Option on the pull-down menu:

So when you post the topic, the poll will look like this:

If the poll has circles where you click your choice, then it's a poll where you can only choose one option. You can have more than two choices, but a single choice poll is best for getting a clear answer.


Poll 2....Multiple Choices

If you want a poll that let's users pick more than once choice then this is how you set it up. Say for example you want to have users pick their fav's out of a list of 6 characters.

Change the ability to Multiple Choice(6)

When you post the topic, the poll should have little check boxes where you click your choices...

You can set a multiple choice poll to meet your needs. Say you have ten items, but you want users to vote for their top five, so you set the multiple choice to 5...and so on and so forth.

Our server was down for a while today and during my investigation, I happened across this site link on the support boards: http://tachyondecay.net/php/bin/serverstatus.php

You guys should bookmark that link just in case there are issues with the board and I can't get to the board to send out a mass e-mail. That link will let you know if our server is down. If it says our server is online but you still can't get out the board, then it may be an issue on your end. But this info is good to have.

I sent out a mass e-mail a few minutes ago with some BK news and the above link.
