Tutorial - Forum Post Coding
Alright, you want to do this?, or how about making a link look something like this?
Here's how, html coding, I figured this out a bit ago, and have been using it for making my links look nicer, and I know a few of you use it to make italics. If you're one of the people who use italics you're one step closer to doing everything else than everybody else, and for those who have yet to figure it out yet, it's the same way you do italics on the cards.
Of course I can't use the proper characters for demonstration purposes so instead I'll be replacing the > with ] and < with [.
With the coding you'll always need to have the opening code, and the closing one. If you forget the closing part then your text will do whatever that coding says until the next closing of the proper type or the end. It should look like this (except with proper symbols) [abc="gettingtoit"]text stuff[/abc]
so first off bold and underline are just [b]bold[/b] and [u]underline[/u]
also handy the line not made out of a thousand dashes the [hr]
With that aside, the four things I'll put up here are url linking, font color, font face (text style), and font size.
URL Linking
for making links - [a href="entertheurlrighthere"]the text that's going to show up as link[/a]
Text Color
for coloring your text - [font color="entercolornamehere]the colorful text[/font color]
you can also use "#RRGGBB" instead if you feel more technical (and can actually make sense of that), and there are online resources for getting more than just basic colors if you want more details in your approach to coloring.
Font Face
font face is basically the same as color but instead it's ["font face="nameoffontface"](don't forget the closing part) you can find font face names by using Word, Google docs etc to look them up, though some won't work.
Font Size
finally size, this is just [font size=1-7] (and the coding closing of course) 2 is reg size, 1 is small, and the rest are just bigger and bigger.
If you want to do more there's plenty of online html coding stuff that will be helpful.
have a nice day!
FYI: there's plenty of html coding which doesn't work on here, and also always double check your previews for any hiccups.

AWESOME!
(Awesome is clickable btw:)
The code for this is: I suggest using the thumbs image for your card (as it shows in in your profile list of cards) as it will be the best size and readability for the forums. If you are unsure how to do that, just find the card in your profile, right-click it and select 'copy image address' or something similar. You will then be able to paste the image link.
<.code>Remove the . characters from the tags<./code>And you can make it stretch the whole post by using pre.
That being say, HTML unordered lists and tables (without borders) both also work in this forum. The only issue with unordered lists is that the list elements don't ignore new lines so if you put each list element on a separate line, it will have an extra blank line between the elements.
Do you know of a way to stack the card images next to each other, instead of below each other, to save space when posting in threads?

(A href= BlahBlahBlah)(Img src= BlahBlahBlah)(/a)

do
(A href= BlahBlahBlah)(Img src= BlahBlahBlah)(/a)(A href= BlahBlahBlah)(Img src= BlahBlahBlah)(/a)(A href= BlahBlahBlah)(Img src= BlahBlahBlah)(/a)
If you do no spaces, it will put images next to each other.
Thanks - I was really bothered by the huge chunks of space I was eating up when submitting multiple cards :x

Italics
<i>Italics</i>How to do this: I just found out, but you can go to here for help with HTML coding. As for this, I just put down &[Insert Symbol Name];
Note: The "&" and the ";" are necessary.

Maybe because you want to fit more next to each other, etc. Or maybe you want it to be big. All you do is you take the image addresshttp://mtgcardsmith.com/view/complete/thumbs/2016/10/17/1476742515047310.png......................................................................./\
and take that word right there. If it's "thumbs", it's small. If it's "full" then it's big. You don't have to change anything else. That way, you don't have to go searching for the right image if you want it small or big!
