The Post Editor:

Before I continue, I have to explain that the 'Post Editor' is also referred to as the WYSIWYG editor. What does WYSIWYG mean? What You See Is What You Get. Let's explore it and see how it works compare to the other ones on sister sites: First of all, to use the editor, make sure you have the WYSIWYG box activated or 'checked' on Options > Forum > Scroll down and check the box next to the letters 'Use WYSIWYG editor'. [b]How does the editor look?[/b] [img]http://ui04.gamespot.com/2691/posteditor_2.gif[/img] [b]Now let's see what almost all the buttons do:[/b] [b]Makes your font bold;[/b] [i]Makes your font Italic;[/i] [u]Makes your font underlined;[/u] Aligns your font to the left; Aligns your font to the center;

Aligns your font to the right;

Justifies your font, leaving no long spaces between lines; Makes an unordered list, in other words, a bullet list,

• one
• two
• three

Makes and ordered list, in other words, a numbered list'

1. one
2. two
3. three

Makes an indent space, like so, so you have an indent tab
so if I go to the next line, I start typing where ever the indent is.

Takes the indent back, or goes back one indent if the case be that you put more than one. [b]Fonts and Color[/b] Font Family let's you choose a font type, choose wisely...or just pick the one you like more, Font size let's you pick a size for your font. Warning! Don't make them to big! It bugs! Set a font color. Once you click on it a small window pops up for you to choose a color. Simply click on a color and it will be applied when you next type, or it will be applies to highlighted text. This simply adds a horizontal line to your post. Like so:

This is for checking your spelling. Use it, it doesn't hurt :P For you HTML wise people, this toggles the HTML editor for you to type in HTML. Once you are done, click you can toggle back to see the end result. Use this to insert an image into a post.
