What is DSI hints and tips?

A group for helping with the usage of the new DSI layout and functions. Hints and tips for users new and old can be shared here including HTML advice. Please do NOT post off-topic posts (i.e. promotional messages) nor abuse people that ask seemingly "stupid" questions - we all had to learn how to use the site at some point. People that habitually abuse other group members rather than contributing answers/advice will be barred from the group. Spammers will be barred instantly, and may be banned from the site (you have been warned)!

Please feel free to invite your buddies... new users trying to get used to the DSI layout might want to read this first...

If you want to post a suggestion...

Then please put it in the "DontStayIn website" group.

To clear up what appears to be some confusion:

You do not have to be a member of this group to read the chat forum where hints and tips are posted, you only have to join if you want to post to the forum, for example, to ask a question or to supply a hint, tip or answer.

"The Rules" for DSI

Please, please, please

Check back a few pages in the group chat (click the "Read more chat" link below) to see if anyone has asked your question before, especially if it's about how to make text bigger/a different colour (as this gets asked all the time)! Also, please take the time to check the news articles for tutorials and other useful information. The most commonly asked questions about how to make text different, etc. are answered by the links below - please read them before asking a question!

What do all the icons mean?

For some very basic stuff - how to include images and links see this post (mostly obsolete since the "helpers" appeared, but still useful if you're editing a comment)

For some more advanced effects using builtin styles on DSI see this (also scroll down to see how to change font colour and size)
