-If you use a quote tag ([ quote ] - but without the spaces), you don't need to do a closing quote tag like you would for the bold or italic tags, it closes automatically when you make a new paragraph. However, if your quote contains multiple paragraphs, you'll have to use the quote tag at the beginning of each one.

-If the URL you're putting in the 'Web Site Link' field is a Datalounge URL, "Related Datalounge Thread" shows up.

-This is a list and remember, if you want to make your own, to put in a blank line in between each item, otherwise they'll all show up in one line when you post.

-And finally, if you suddenly can't see your posts, that means you've ignored yourself and you'll need to find your own posts in the Ignored page so you can un-ignore yourself. Kind of funny to see how many DLers fall for that one.
