Trying to educate myself on what formatting is "possible" on the boards. Under the FAQ's (http://forum.atlas-games.com/faq.php#22 ) it says...
[color=brown]Formatting and Topic Types
What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can use BBCode is determined by the administrator. You can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. [i]For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page. [/i]
[Can I use HTML?
That depends on whether the administrator allows you to; they have complete control over it. If you are allowed to use it, you will probably find only certain tags work. This is a safety feature to prevent people from abusing the board by using tags which may destroy the layout or cause other problems. If HTML is enabled you can disable it on a per post basis from the posting form.
"The guide"? "The posting page"? I'd like "more information"- where could one find these, please?
(Probably brutally obvious, but I'm just not grokking it.)

You might want to take a look at phpBB's own faq:
phpbb.com/community/faq.php?mode=bbcode
You might want to experiment, though. I'm pretty sure there are some tags that the faq doesn't mention.
Yeah, I did, thanks. Unfortunately, some of the codes mentioned are not implemented the same on these boards, and etc.

Hi there. If there's some setting you'd like us to change on the forums, or if you find a mod you'd like us to install, just let our webmaster Wendy know ... webmaster@atlas-games.com

Because the forums use BBCode instead. See the toolbar right above the form where you type your message.
