You can use either HTML code or UBB Code.

Info on What is UUB Code.

You can post HTML IMG SRC links to pictures so that they'll show up in your post, like this:

You have about 10 minutes to edit any typos or text in your post before the post is stamped with "EDITED by...."

You also have permissions to edit you posts indefinitely. So, even if you come back days, weeks, months or even years later – you'll still have access to edit your posts.

These forums allow for you to create private topics. If you click on "MyPop™", you'll then see "Private Topics" in the menu list. You can start private topics with people here who are on your Contact List, which is another choice in the menu list after clicking MyPop™. So, make sure someone is in your "Contact List" before trying to start a "Private Topic" with other members.

You can invite one or several forums members to your private topics.

If you edit your post after 10 minutes, you'll have a nice, unsightly stamp at the bottom of your posts that reads something like:

A way to avoid that is using HTML code and changing the font color to match the background of your post. Post in the forums are one of two colors: "white" or "gray".

To code the text for a white post use FONT COLOR=WHITE - and place that code between HTML code brackets < & >. To code text for a gray post use FONT COLOR="CCCCCC" - and place that code between HTML code brackets < & >.

Putting that code at the very end of the text in your post will make the "edited by" text disappear.
