Figuring out the commands

[Eeveeforthebest]

When you are typing, you have many choices like font, size, bold, underline, etc.

But I don't know what the others look like such as spoiler tags and mention tags.

Could some one please explain what each button is and what it looks like when you send a post?

I am very new here and would be very grateful. Thanks.

To be honest, I have no idea what the mention tags do. I just type an @ symbol, then the username, then a semicolon. Like this: @Eeveeforthebest; Theoretically, that should have given you a notification that you were mentioned, but it doesn't always work in my experience.

Spoiler tags are for hiding stuff, or just making it smaller. I like to put all of my chapters in spoilers to keep the thread consolidated and organized. Like this:

Spoiler

butts

Quote tags make stuff look like this. If you clicked the "Reply with Quote" button to reply to people, it will also send the person you're quoting a notification.

There's no button for strikethroughs for some reason, but you can always surround your text with these tags: [ s][/s] (just without the space). That will look like this: witty comment

The rest are pretty self explanatory, or just not useful (like we have no real reason to use the code or PHP tags here). Welcome to the forum!

@AetherX; thank you very much. That honestly really helped. Hope the mention thing I just tried out got to you.

Got it! Glad I could help.
