2. How to link to a specific post in a thread
There you are, happily arguing with someone online, when you realize that this person doesn't know that a dev has already confirmed your side of the argument as being true. You of course proceed to tell them this and quote the post. But wouldn't it be nice to rub it in and to provide concrete proof by linking directly to the comment?
As an example for this exercise, we'll link directly to a post by David Gaider about Loghain.
This one:
EDIT: Warning: The post I am currently using as an example, is from the SPOILERS section fo the Dragon Age forum. I will try to find a "safer" one to use (and am open to suggestions).
David's post
Step 1:
Locate the post you wish to link to and right-click on the word link in the top right corner of the post.
Click Copy Link Location (this should be the option regardless of the browser you are using - if not, you'll have to find your browser's equivalent)
Copy Link Location works the same way as if the address was written out and you had highlighted it and selected copy.
Step 2:
Using the URL you obtained this way*, create the link just like we did the previous time, using either the method described in section 1.1 or the one in 1.2.
*A Reminder: Copy Link Location works the same way as if the address was written out and you had highlighted it and selected copy. This means you can simply paste it!
If you look at the BBCode of your link to David's post, it should look like this:
What's the difference if you had simply linked to the thread? You'd be missing the /18#591250 part which is the bit that indicates the exact post in the thread you are linking to.
Now the person you are arguing with has no excuse that they didn't want to wade through 50 pages of posts to find the one you were talking about, as your link will take them directly to it.
3. How to link to an image and have the image appear in the post
There isn't much to say as an introduction. A lot of people put images in their posts, why shouldn't you?
We could do this with that link button the forum provides us with. This button has a tendency to mess up image links though, forcing you to use BBCode to correct it. (usually use of the button causes the image to appear twice)
So we'll just use BBCode from the start and get it done right.
First of all you'll need to have an image that people need to see AND you will need to upload this image to the internet. There are a number of sites that allow for free hosting of images. You can pick any of those.
For this tutorial I used imageshack since it requires no user account, but personally I also have a photobucket account. There are many others though and you are sure to find one that suits your needs best.
For this example I took a screenshot from the official DAO site and re-uploaded it to have a shorter URL than it previously had:
To do this, we use the IMG tag. As always, a tag is enclosed in square brackets and you open with one tag and close with a /tag . In this case IMG and /IMG each in square brackets.
Between those two, you type the URL of the image.
It should look something like this:
You will notice that the screenshot of Morrigan at this point is not a link.
If you want the image to also link to the image location, you will have to also use the URL tag just as we did in the first exercise. In this case, the image takes the place of the text you would otherwise have displayed as a link.
The link should then look something like this:
Most image hosting sites will provide you with a choice of links for the image you uploaded. One of these links usually includes the full URL and IMG tags, so you simply need to click the BBCode button in the forum and copy&paste the code you are provided with.
For example:
And that's all there is to it really.
Hope this helps some people!

If there already are guides for this: I actually used the search function to look, but didn't find anything.
If people think these things are too simple to require explanation: Good for them

I learned a cool BBCode trick from another Forumite, & wanna share it here. I learned from this Forumite how to change the Hyperlink Color surrounding your Image.
You may know how to use the IMG Tag to post a Pic, & how to stick this image into a Hyperlink to make clicking the Pic take you to another Site. This Image will then have a colored border around it. It's possible to customize that color outside your Browser Settings. What ya do is to surround the Image & IMG tags with the COLOR Tag. I.E. (Minus the periods.) [.url=www.blablabla.com][.color=black][.img]www.whateverpicyaputtinhere.com/jpg[./img][./color][./url].
Here's an example:
Give it a try!
Edit: I found the Thread where I learned this trick again! The Forumite to thank for this tip is kelmar6821!
