Hi! I'm not really "new" around here but I'm new to the changes to the site. I'm trying to write a review for someone but I'm not sure how to go to the "advanced" menu so I can do things like wrap text quotes and make words bold. There doesn't seem to be a "go advanced" button but I've seen other reviews with wrapped quotes, so I think it's just me. I'm a little lost so I would appreciate anyone's help with this!

Hey there!

As far as I'm aware, there isn't really a "go advanced" option for reviews; the BBCode you see in reviews (quotes, bold, and such) is done manually by commands like this, typed by the reviewer:
Code: Select all
[quote] quote here [/quote]


However, you could always type and format your reviews in an empty private message, then copy/paste the text from there? That way you could use the buttons at the top to help you format.

Hope this helps!

Not any advanced options, no. Maybe one day.

As a first time member,when I was a newbie, I also used to be pretty confused. Here are some other handy dandy code signs that I picked up along the way:

Bold:
Code: Select all

Italics
Code: Select all

Underline
Code: Select all
[u][/u]
