    Hi you mystical traveler of internet forums.

    I am novice in the art of World Wide Web forum communication, but I eagerly seek wisdom and information to improve myself and be less of an nuisance to other lurkers of the internet.

    This is thread of me using multible different things of the forum User Interface so that later I can astonish everyone with my laze argumentation covered with staggering visual and media experience making me one of the great gurus of the Uber Forums, second only to the Brad himself.

    Ecpecially I hone the skill to use Youtube videos effeciently with limited sections of video and insert pictures. Ability to cite others has always remained a mystery to me. Making interesting lista of things would also not be useless skill in itself.

    Rule 1: The search tool is your friend. If you think that your topic has been discussed before, it very probably has.

    I thank you for your advice. I shall make sure not to post anything without certainty, that my post will create more value to the forums. However I have been reading and searching these forums for quite a some time, without really posting anything.

    But now I have gained my first trophy for making my firsth post! I am so happy that this day has finally came! Let me share a picture with you about this magnificent event...

    I know how to hyperlink certain things relevant To discussion, like this cricketer, but how could I link certain posts or topics in similar manner, I wonder? Also ability to cite multible posts i. The thread would beneficial be.

    Apparently as a new user, I cannot have links in my posts. How long will that be, I wonder. Soon it will hopefully end.

    I have heard, that deleting you own posts is impossible. If not, you will not be able to read this post.

    No, its actually possible, but only if you delete it before there is a post following it. According to someone else anyway, try it in a dry topic like a forum sticky to see for yourself.

    Also, What I like to believe I do, is PM them and kindly offer them constructive criticism.

    What I actually do is call their mum names and talk crap to them. Been given written warnings twice now! One of the devs said I get... some sort of prize... if I do it again... I wasn't paying a lot of attention, I pay more attention to my own posts than others...

    *subtle joke, not true*
