I've been toying for a while with writing something on the intricacies of posting on the RC forums. Along the lines of how to quote, change text, post images, search, post links etc etc.

If you think such a thing would be useful, I could have a go here and then copy it to the RC forums?

Any thoughts?

That would be useful, I think. For me, anyway

It is a very different ball game on RC though. RC is strict BB only, we are much looser allowing html.

We also allow photo uploads and Avatars.

But by all means it would be a nice article to have

Definitely - I know people have posted tips as they go along, and it's mostly so straightforward - once you've been told! The tips are hard to track down and it's very relevant, especially if we are welcoming people new to forums like this, one less thing to confuse people can only be good.

I realise the subtle differences. I think a beginners guide would do for now.

How do you post html as it didn't work for me then?

The photo upload makes things so much easier here IMO.

I think it might be time to break out the bananas:

I've been having a fiddle. I think there's a set of tags that are allowed - I was trying some form tags that obv weren't. p, hx, b, i, u are all ok. span might be useful.

Can you PM an example of what won't work for you. I thought I had rigged it that everything would.

Since I don't understand any of this thread, I think that an introductory article would help. Please.
