Beginner's Q, help, how do I fill out a form?

[Crouchy]

Okay, I'm a novice. Can I have guidance. I see in a post I'm supposed to fill out a form with code in it and presumably paste it somewhere. What do I do? When I paste it it's all still in code form.

Thank you so much.

Have you tried removing the [/code] and [code] tags that surround the form? Anything between [code] and [ /code] (without the space) ends up formatted in code form.

So when you see a form someone wants you to fill out, it'll look like this

Code: Select all

[left][list][size=85]Username
whataver
stuff
goes
here[/size][/list][/left]

If you hit select all, it *should* select the text inside that white box so you can copy/paste it - but this doesn't always work, sometimes you'll have to select it yourself. Then it'll look like this (minus the *s)

[left*][list*][size=85*]Username
whataver
stuff
goes
here[/size][/list][/left]

In code format. You won't see what it's supposed to look like until you either hit the preview button, or submit your post.

hope this helps ^^^
