Formatting and Topic Types
What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed.

For more information, see the BBCode guide on the “Post a new topic” page.

Can I use HTML?
HTML has been disabled from the Full Tilt Poker forums. You may, however, use BBCode to customize your posts.
Back to top
What are Smileys?
Smileys, or Emoticons, are small graphical images which can be used to express feelings using short codes. The full list of available smileys can be seen on the posting form.
Back to top
Can I post Images?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).
Back to top
What are Announcements?
Announcements are posted by moderators and contain important information that you should read as soon as possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted.
Back to top
What are Sticky topics?
Sticky topics are used for popular threads or commonly asked questions and appear on the first page of a forum, directly beneath any announcements. If you would like to make a discussion “sticky”, please contact a moderator.
Back to top
What are Locked topics?
Moderators and administrators have the ability to lock a topic. This is usually done if the topic contains material that may be deemed offensive and violates our Terms of Use. If you find a topic that is offensive and would like it to be locked or deleted, please contact a moderator.
Back to top

User Levels and Groups
What are Administrators?
Administrators are people assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. These people can control all facets of board operation which include setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. They also have full moderator capabilities in all the forums.
Back to top
What are Moderators?
Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.

Whom do I contact about abusive and/or legal matters related to this board?
You should contact the administrator of this board. If you cannot find who that is, you should first contact one of the forum moderators and ask them who you should in turn contact. If still get no response you should contact the owner of the domain (do a whois lookup) or, if this is running on a free service (e.g. yahoo, free.fr, f2s.com, etc.), the management or abuse department of that service. Please note that phpBB Group has absolutely no control and cannot in any way be held liable over how, where or by whom this board is used. It is absolutely pointless contacting phpBB Group in relation to any legal (cease and desist, liable, defamatory comment, etc.) matter not directly related to the phpbb.com website or the discrete software of phpBB itself. If you do email phpBB Group about any third party use of this software then you should expect a terse response or no response at all.
