New Topics and Other Posting Tips [Update: Embed Tweets]
 

Here are some posting tips you might find useful:

New Posts and New Non-BB Posts links.

I mentioned this in another thread. The 'New Posts' and 'New Non-BB Posts' links at the top of the forum show all the threads which have been posted in since you last visited. It is a useful way of keeping up-to-date with what is happening in all parts of the forum.

'Today's Posts' in the Quick Links' menu shows all threads from the past day.

How to post YouTube videos

Use the [yt][/yt] code to show Youtube videos. Put the 11 character code between the tags, not the whole URL eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro9mZ9-W_fE becomes [yt]ro9mZ9-W_fE[/yt]

You can also click the http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/youtube-video.png icon when you click Go advanced when making a post, or quoting a post.

(More forum bbcodes can be found here).
