This thread is for newbies to explore the features the DS forums have to offer. If your question isn't answered in this post, feel free to hit the 'Post Reply' button and ask your question.

What do all the buttons mean?
[LIST][*]Status Icon - shows the current status of the member. If the icon is grey, it means the user is offline. If the icon is green, the user is online. It will show as red on your own posts if you have opted to browse the forums invisibly.

[*]Red Alert - this brings up an alerting interface that you can send a message to moderators with. This should be used to report violations of our community guidelines.

[*]Blue 'T'/Twitter button - if a member has input a Twitter username, it will show up in their posts as the twitter button.

[*]Edit - this will allow you to edit a post you have made. This button is on a time limit and will vanish after 30 minutes. If you create a thread, you have only 15 minutes to edit the thread title before the edit button will vanish.

[*]Quick Reply - this takes you to the bottom of the thread you are viewing and grants access to the quick reply box, allowing you to type a message without going to the post reply interface.

[*]Quote - this quotes a single post, allowing you to respond to it while including the quote in your message.[/LIST]
How do I multi-quote?

To Multi-quote, you need to hit the second button on the bottom right hand side of the post you wish to quote. It will turn red. If the box is red, it means that post will be quoted when you later go on to make your full reply. If you no longer wish to include a particular post, you can click the red button again and it will turn it off.

How do I create and reveal spoilers?

Easy! To create a spoiler you can type your spoiler and then highlight it and press the grey 'S' button on the message posting interface. Alternatively, you can surround your text with the following codes: [spoiler] spoiler text goes here[/spoiler]. This will create the following:
Spoiler
To reveal spoilers, just click on the 'show' button which will reveal what is hidden.


How do I start polls?

To start a poll, you need to first meet the criteria of having been registered for 90 days and have at least 100 posts. Once you meet this criteria, you will see a new option at the bottom of the 'Start New Thread' interface, asking you if you would like to add a poll alongside your thread.

If you tick the checkbox, it will take you to a new page that will allow you to add a poll question, add poll options and to specify the kind of poll you want 'vote once', 'multi-vote', 'show who voted'. Once this is done, click submit and your poll will be added to your thread shortly.


If you are unsure of any other button, please hover your mouse over the icon you are confused about and a little message should display telling you what it is for.

If there is something that is not covered here, fret not! Simply click 'Post Reply' or the 'Quick Reply' button and enter your question and we'll try our best to answer you as soon as possible. You are also welcome to test the buttons in this thread.

Welcome to Digital Spy!

I don't understand what you're trying to do. You've just made two posts, so you're obviously not completely unable to post. Are you trying to start new threads, or to reply to other people's posts?

Are you replying to a post when this happens?
If so, for example you can't just post yes......or no. That message is too short.

This
Spoiler


To access spoilers click on the silver S at the top of the box, & put your text inside where it says spoiler.........alternatively you can do it manually by putting [spoiler]text in here[/spoiler <------I haven't put the final bracket at the last 'spoiler' or you won't see how it's done.

You're probably better posting this in the dedicated "Satellite" section of this forum. I'm sure someone there will be able to help you out.

I just wondered If anyone could simplify how to change the colour of the fonts, I have seen a few posts where they have changed a word to red, I cannot find any tools etc to help me do this.

For red highlight, just put [highlight]your text here[/highlight <--------- remember your closing bracket.
I haven't put the closing bracket at the end or you won't see what I mean.

Give me a shout if you don't understand my explanation.
