What is the "Boards"?

Hey, all. :)

So I'm new here... What the hell is it? Haha. It looks like the forums, but more modern and aesthetically pleasing. I notice that while I'm typing this, there is less options for customizing my post.

Where is the text formatting? (Central, Left, Right, blah blah blah)

How do I add image to where I want them, rather than just attaching the image file at the bottom of my post?

You've added a "Strikethrough" option, yay! :D

And again: What is this? Haha, can someone help me out? And tell me if I can format my text and add images like on the normal forums?

I gotchu, in fact I actually have a whole welcome post buried way back. That'll cover the navigation and all.

As far as the text formatting goes, as a forewarning it's currently very limited, the CB just got a VU and the formatting took a blow in the transition. There's no centering or other alignment options yet, but all of that has currently been filed under the "Beta is Beta" category. To see all of the formatting options there's a helpful guide available by clicking that [?] at the top right of a post or comment box.

As for images, there's some awesome embedding options. Just copy and paste the raw URL of something from:

YouTube
Twitch
SoundCloud
Vimeo
Spotify
Vine
Instagram
Imgur (album or pic)

and it'll pop up after a short delay. (If it's giving you trouble just try refreshing)

If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to help you out :)
