| − | + | ==Guidelines for Message Board usage== | |
| − | + | *Before posting a new message topic, please make sure that the topic/question/discussion you want to start is not already being discussed in another message board or talk page. If so, please do not start a new section on the same topic. | |
| − | + | related boards, or personal talk pages. | |
| − | | | + | *Please keep it civil. |
| − | * | + | *Please no [[AP:LINK|spam links]] or [[AP:SPAM|advertising posts]]. |
| − | * | + | *Please no discussions/questions directly related to [[AP:IIP|illegal activities]]. (I.E. How do I get into so and so abandoned buildings, etc.) |
| − | * | + | *If you need help with either posting a message here on this talk page or adding information to the article please see here: [[AP:TUTOR]] |
| − | + | *To start a new section please use the level 2 heading which uses two == on either side of the title. The level 2 heading looks like this <nowiki>==My New Topic Title==</nowiki>. | |
| − | + | *Make sure to sign your posts so others can see who said what and when they said it. To sign your post, all you need to do is add four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) ad the end of your message or hit the signature button on the tool bar above the message/editing window. This button looks like a signature. Also, the tilde is located on the key right next to the number 1 key and is used by pressing the shift key with the tilde key. | |
| − | + | *If you are replying to someones post, please make sure to indent your post for readability. To indent your post, just put a : in front of your message and it will indent the entire post one tab. : equals one tab so the more you add the farther indented the message will go. Please no extreme indents. If the use of the indent would become to extreme, just reset your post back to the first indent so other users can base their indents off your yours. | |
| + | *An example of the proper look/use of indents would look like this: | ||

| + | *To use an external image on a message board, all you need to do is post the link to the image in the massage. For example: to post an image just place the exact link just like this: <nowiki>http://www.imageboard.org/image.jpg</nowiki> and the site software will display the image. However, external images will not be able to be re-sized. Please keep external images under a reasonable size (I.E. under 600 pixels width or length). Please respect the external image's photographer/copy write holder's wishes and not post an image that the photographer/copy write holder does not want posted on other sites. A simple link is preferred in those cases. | ||
