Confused with the board?

ARE you struggling with the Donny Days message board and how to format your text, link to a website or post photographs?

Don't worry, we did when we first started, but now coding is as easy as Doncaster's win at Wembley over Leeds in the Play-Offs... 

Your message board text can now be formatted by using the icons above the text input area. By hovering your mouse over an icon you can see what it does. For example hovering over "B" will show you that the icon means bold.

You can either click the icon with no text highlighted, in some cases a pop-up will appear asking you to input relevant information (inserting a link), in other cases the forum will insert the tags with nothing in between, type your text in between the tags (bold).
e.g. with [b][/b] insert your text like so [b]here[/b]

The other option is to highlight text then by clicking an icon, that particular type of formatting will add the formatting. For example highlighting text and clicking the bold button will turn it into [b]text[/b].

Sometimes you may want to insert an image from your PC. A good site to save your image to so it is on the internet is http://www.tinypic.com

If the image is too big to appear on the message board (wider than 700 pixels) then when you upload your image to TinyPic, on the drop down sizing menu select "forum" or "messageboard" as applicable, and the image will be automatically resized to fit to our boards meaning that no ones viewing will be interuptedby stupidly over sized images.
