A: Simple enough, choose the text you want to have in bold characters, and add [b] at the beginning of it. Then, add [/b] at the end. Again, you guessed it, minus the space. [i] and [/i] is for italics. Underline uses [u] and [/u]

A: Simple enough also! [video]http://www.youtube.com/v/CODE[/video]
Q: And what about those ratings things?
A: Start by opening a thread. You should see on the top right of the screen a little box. If you open it, you'll see a list of words that could define a thread, things like "Funny", "Boring" or "Flame War". Just choose the one you think best describes the thread. You don't need to hit enter or anything, your rating will be saved automatically. People won't be able to know how you're rated a particular thread, it will only affect the overall rating, wich appears next to the thread's name. This is what rave.ca uses opening it.
You can also rate individual posts. Next to every post, you'll see "good/bad". Just click on the one you think best describes the post. If a post gets too many bad ratings, people won't be able to see it, unless they click on "toggle reply". YOu can also use that to hide a reply, if you don't want to see it, even if this reply didn't get a bad rating. Of course, you can't rate your own posts or threads.
Q: One last thing, If I'm at work, anything I can do to hide the "not work safe" content?
A: As a matter of facts, yes you can. Wherever you are on the site, you can see "Ratings: Normal View" on the top right corner. Simply switch "Normal View" for "Safe Content". This way, porn and other unsafe material will be hidden from you.
