-:TITLE:Discussion board
-:INC:index

-:SUB:Introduction
-<p>
- VNDB has a nicely integrated discussion board which can be used for, well,
- discussions. As we're not using any popular or freely available forum software
- and have instead written something by ourselves, this discussion board has a
- few slight differences with the popular boards you're used to.
-</p>
-
-
-:SUB:Boards
-<p>
- To make sure interested people can find your post, all threads have relations
- to one or more 'boards' that define what the discussion is about. This is similar
- to boards on other forums, but here every item in the DB has its own board, and
- it's possible to link a thread to more than one board. The following boards can be used:
-</p>
-<dl>
- <dt>db</dt><dd>
- VNDB Discussions. This board is for discussions about the database and the site.
- </dd><dt>ge</dt><dd>
- General discussions. This is a general board for threads that do not fit in
- any of the other boards.
- </dd><dt>v#</dt><dd>
- For discussions about a particular visual novel. The board <i>v17</i>, for example,
- is used for all threads related to <a href="/v17">v17</a>.
- </dd><dt>p#</dt><dd>
- Same as <i>v#</i>, but for producers.
- </dd><dt>u#</dt><dd>
- The <i>u#</i> board can be used to notify a user on this site about something
- he/she must see or to discuss about an edit he/she has made. This is similar
- to the 'private message' feature of most sites, except it's not 'private'...
- </dd><dt>an</dt><dd>
- Used for site announcements. Limited to moderators.
- </dd>
-</dl>

-:SUB:Formatting
-<p>
- The following codes can be used to format your message:
-</p>
-<dl>
- <dt>X# or X#.#</dt><dd>
- A 'VNDBID', as we call them. These are numbers starting with a character (d, p, r, u or v),
- and are optionally followed by a period and a second number. VNDBIDs will automatically be converted
- into links to the page on the website. For example, typing 'v4.4' will result in '<a href="/v4.4">v4.4</a>'.
- </dd><dt>URL</dt><dd>
- Any URL (without the use of the [url]-tag, see below) will be converted into a link, similar to the
- VNDBIDs. Example: 'http://vndb.org/' will be formatted as '<a href="http://vndb.org/">link</a>'.
- </dd><dt>[url]</dt><dd>
- The classic BBCode [url]-tag. Can only be used in the form of <i>[url=link]link title[/url]</i>.<br />
- E.g. '[url=/v]List of visual novels[/url] and [url=http://blicky.net/]some external website[/url]'
- will be displayed as '<a href="/v">List of visual novels</a> and <a href="http://blicky.net/">some external website</a>'
- </dd><dt>[spoiler]</dt><dd>
- The [spoiler]-tag should be used to hide information that could spoil the enjoyment of playing the
- visual novel for people who haven't done so yet.
- </dd><dt>[quote]</dt><dd>
- When quoting other people, put the quoted message inside a [quote] .. [/quote] block. Please
- note that the popular [quote=source]-syntax doesn't work on VNDB. (yet)
- </dd><dt>[raw]</dt><dd>
- Show off your formatting code skills by putting anything you don't want to have formatted in a [raw]
- tag. Any of the formatting codes mentioned above are ignored within a [raw] .. [/raw] block.
- </dd><dt>[code]</dt><dd>
- Similar to [raw], except that the text within the [code] .. [/code] block is
- formatted in a fixed width font and surrounded by a nice box to keep it
- separate from the rest of your post.
- </dd>
-</dl>
-<p>
- There is no [img]-tag and there won't likely ever be one, if you want to include
- screenshots or other images, please upload them to an external hosting service
- (e.g. <a href="http://tinypic.com/" rel="nofollow">TinyPic</a>) and link to them
- in your post.
