Well, well... looks like the old forum FAQ was getting slightly outdated, so I decided to rewrite it. Just click on the link of the section you want to know more about.

<font color="#0000FF" size="+1">I. Forum Rules</font>

The forum rules have remained fairly constant over the years and have been posted numerous times throughout the forum. I do not feel it's needed to restate every single one, so I will just list a few links to other threads where the rules have been posted.

Rules of the Forum, Dec. 2001

<font color="#0000FF" size="+1">II. Banners and Whatnot</font>

<font color="#0000FF">A. Banners</font>
Banner requests and graphics displays should be made in the Banners, Avatars and Images forum and not anywhere else.

<font color="#0000FF">A. Whatnot</font>
Anything that is not SFO related should be posted in the Non-SFO related sections. This consists of the Links, Random Insanity and General forums.


<font color="#0000FF" size="+1">III. iB and HTML Code</font>

<font color="#0000FF">A. HTML</font>
In some sections of the board you are allowed to add a bit of html to your posts. At the time of this writing, the sections you are allowed to add html to your posts are the General Comments and Strategies, bugs and Problems report, New Features, and the Challenges and Tournaments sections.

Now I do not feel at liberty to reveal everything I know about html in this post, seeing as it might take up quite a lot of room and most be utterly useless for forum posting. However, I will enlighten the inexperienced in html on a few kinds of html features you might want to use or may encounter while posting on this forum.

1. Font and Font Modifiers: There's quite a lot you can change about font, but for the purposes of this FAQ, I'll just go over the basic modifiers.

<font face="Courier New" size="+1" color="#00FF00">Courier New</font>

The code for what I just did is here:

[code:1]<font face="Courier New" size="+1" color="#00FF00">Courier New</font>[/code:1]

<ul>[*]<font color="#FF0000">Face</font> specifies the font face you are selecting, and appears based on the fonts you have saved to your computer. If you encounter font that is not installed on your computer, the the font will resort to a default font (usually Verenda or Times New Roman).[*]<font color="#FF0000">Size</font> specifies the size of the font. Using a +1 like I did just adds 1 to the current font size. If I used +2, two would be added. And if I used -1, one would be taken away. Please note that posting or having a signiture with a font size greater than 15 is a bannable offense.[*]<font color="#FF0000">Color</font> specifies the color of the font in hexidecimal. If you are unfamiliar with hexidecimal, you can open up MS Paint, and go to Colors>>Edit Colors, and click on Define Custom Colors. There you can select a color and see the code for it displayed out. Since the color feature is written in Red, Green, Blue from left to right, just translate the numbers into hexidecimal and type them in from right to left. If you are unfamiliar with how to transfer real numbers to hexidecimal, click here.[*]You can find a more complete description of the hr tag and it's attributes here.[/list]
There are several other text editors that you can make seperate from the font tag. I've listed a few of the more common/useful ones below.

Bold:
[code:1]Bold
The iB equivilant is Bold[/code:1]

Italic:
[code:1]Italic
The iB equivilant is Italic[/code:1]

Underline
[code:1]<u>Underline</u>[/code:1]

<s>Strikethrough</s>
[code:1]<s>Strikethrough</s>[/code:1]

_SubScript
[code:1]_SubScript[/code:1]

^SuperScript
[code:1]^SuperScript[/code:1]

<marquee>Marquee</marquee>
[code:1]<marquee>Marquee</marquee>[/code:1]

<tt>Teletype</tt>
[code:1]<tt>Teletype</tt>[/code:1]

2. Links: Links in html are pretty simple and a bit like the fonts. While iB code has an equivilant to the link tag for html, it's very limited since you can only type in where the link is directed to.

Go to the SFO Forums !!
