I thought I would do a write up of how some things in the XenForo software work. So here are some tips and tricks in no particular order.
** You can select part of a text after which a tiny window will pop-up with Quote/Reply, like so:
The +Quote option is meant to be used in Multiquote. Click on Reply and the text editor will open with the selected text in place and you can start typing your reply.
** When you don't want to quote anything but only want to say something to somebody, you can type the @ sign, followed by the username (without a space in between!), like so:
RichardB will now receive an alert that someone left a comment to him and his name in the reply will be a link to his profile that is hoverable, like so:
** Uploaded (attached) images can be resized and styled. When you click on an uploaded image in the editor you will see it's in a frame with some tools you can use.
The icons on top are, from left to right: Align (left, middle, right), Change Size (by dragging the corners), Alt Text, Replace, Remove, Insert Link.
** Sometimes it's handy to toggle the BBCode off and on. Here's how:
In the text editor, in the upper right corner is an open box. Click that and you have flat text that you can edit. Click it again and you are back in normal mode.
**Toggling the BBCode off is particularly handy when you can't get the text where you want, like after uploading a pic. Just toggle the BBCode off, insert the text where you want, toggle the code, see if it worked, submit.
**Sometimes when uploading an image, the thumbnail also ends up in the post. Removing it is easy. Toggle off the BBCode and look at the code. The full image has the word "full" in the code. The thumbnail has not. Like so:
The code is between
tags. In this example the bit that I selected (in blue) is the thumbnail. The other one with the word "full" in it is the full image. Remove the short code and the thumbnail will be gone from your post.
