FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a label?
A label is a tag on a post to give people a heads up on what to expect in a post. For example, labels you may see around the forum are "Announcement!," "Warning," "Mature," and "Spoiler." It isn't always required or available, but it helps to keep things organized and safe. Boards that ask for labels will often have separate posts containing rules for posting in that board.
Note that to access labels when posting, click on the right-pointing arrow all the way to the right of where your thread title goes.

WIP [Mature] My Drawing of Korra

If you aren't familiar with BBCode, check out a basic tutorial here. We have buttons at the top of a post text box to allow you to easily style what you type. If you don't like the messy look of BBCode in your text box, click the "Preview" tab at the bottom of the text entry box; it will allow you to use the BBCode buttons as if you're typing in a Word document.
