If you've been a bit confused about composing a posting using the Forum interface on
Matronics this should be a big help.
<http://forums.matronics.com/faq.php?mode=bbcode>
You can't use html tags and constructs but rather you use what the phpBB developers
call BB Codes.
For example, if I compose a posting as plain text via e-mail submission I would
designate an html link enclosed in a <> symbol pair like this:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnjyhCQYnRo>
And that appears here just fine but it I were to do that in a forum post, it would get
mangled and all that would appear is
http
Not something that you intend at all. That's because html tags aren't allowed. But you
can do something like this in the Forum interface:
Peterbilt Truck Interior
And the text will appear as a live link in your posting.
Quoting, ordered lists, text size and color and a few other common tasks are covered.
If you use the Forum interface to the list, you can post pictures and they will be
mailed as URLs to the KF Maillist, greatly reducing the e-mail traffic. You also can
read all the postings and see all the photos as well by using the forum. In fact you
don't even have to be subscribed to any mail list to read the postings. You do need to
register if you are going to post. That's true even if you are on a Matronics mail
list.
You can read the KF List postings directly by clicking this link:
<http://forums.matronics.com/viewforum.php?f=8>
And if you had wanted to post that link in the KF Forum you'd do it this way:
Kitfox Forum
But it would look much nicer.
