I’d rather subtract.
“Bump”
When a thread is posted in, it moves to the top of the
front page. Bumping is posting in a thread for the sake
of that effect, in order to bring attention to the thread.
“Trolling”
To troll is to write insincerely
in the hope of getting a reaction from people.
A troll is someone who does this.
(Posts that are obviously false or insincere are
sometimes made on the CR for the sake of humor,
and this is also referred to here as “trolling.”)
“Closed”
A closed thread cannot be posted in.
Only a moderator (or “mod”) can close threads (or give subtitles).
“Sticky”
A sticky thread is one that is kept (“stuck”) at the top of a board.
(There are currently a few more than usual.)
“Tricks?”
I’m
afraid
I
know
any.
Just kidding.
<em>Italics</em> = Italics
<strong>Bold</strong> = Bold
<a href=http://www.example.com>Link</a> = Link
You can also link like this (check out the thread):
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/we-are-new
(When linking this way, you don’t have to type the
“http://” – it’ll appear by itself.)
<blockquote>Quotation</blockquote> =
Quotation
<code>text</code> (or just backticks – the key above Tab)
lets you type things like <strong> without it having an effect.
(Text typed this way uses a different font, one in which all
characters take up the same amount of space on a line.)
Most or all of the above can be combined. Example:
<strong><em>Bold+Italic</em></strong> = Bold+Italic
Oh, and you should know about the EDIT button if you’re
going to be trying this stuff out. It’s at the bottom
of your post, and will let you change what you’ve written
for 25 minutes after you first post it.
Have fun!
