Typing
Typing out responses, articles, and forums can seem pretty basic, or maybe you’re confused by the buttons. Either way, let’s go through some of the helpful options and tools you can use when typing. We will go from left to right starting with the top row, using the below picture as a guide.
* If you have already typed something out, but want to change this, no problem! Just select the desired text, and choose and click whatever it is that you want to change!
- The first button has a variety of emojis under it. You can also use your phone’s emojis.
Here’s an article with more BYC emojis. - The second button makes your type bold.*
- The third button changes your type’s color!*
- The fourth button changes your type’s Size.*
- The fifth button changes Font.*
- The sixth button slants your type.*
- The seventh button allows you to make ordered lists, unordered list (like this), indent, and outdent.
- The eighth button changes the way that your writing is centered.
- Clicking the ellipsis on the top row, you will see buttons that allow you to
cross through your type,underline your typing, Imbed a spoiler, add headings,and do this,respectively. - Moving to the second row, the first button allows you to add an image, but not a video. Learn how to add videos, here!
- The second button adds and removes the blue highlighting that indicates a quotation.*
- The third button allows you to imbed a link into a word. Just copy and paste the link in the top blank, and add the words you want in the bottom.
- The fourth button allows you to add a video from an external video site.
- The ellipsis on the bottom opens up buttons that allow you to search and add gifs, add your own and others’ albums and photos on BYC, add your own and others’ articles quickly, add a line that spans across the entire page, add a table, Enter a spoiler title, and lastly, apparently you can add coding! These were in respective order.
- I haven’t quite figured out the buttons in the bottom right corner, but I do know that the first one allows you to delete or save a draft, and the first button when you open the ellipsis allows you to undo your last move.
- Using the large green buttons at the bottom, you can also add previously saved quotes, and add an attachment.
- This isn’t exactly a typing option, but another helpful tool is tagging. All you have to do is put “@“ followed by the person you would like to tag’s profile name. They will receive a notification that you tagged them.
