Linking Wowhead Items Tooltips
If you want to link a warcraft item in the forum, there is a special way to do it.

Just type the name of the item like Deathbringer's Will, then highlight the words and click on the icon.
this applies the [Item] tag which makes it into a wowhead link.
[Item]Deathbringer's Will[/Item]
Deathbringer's Will
then the mouse over will show the tooltip.

There is a special case if the item has a heroic version with the same name, then you have to get the link addess from wowhead and use it like so.

I have added a nice Wowhead lookup module to the forum pages so its easy to find you item links

Full Size Linked Images

The website automatically resizes you images so they can be seen on smaller monitors, but you may want to let people see the full size images, so you want a image that when you click goes to the full size image. First create a hyperlink to the image using .

[url=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/2912355620_7420d75a9c_o.jpg ]Link[/url]

Then where the word Link is you insert a image normally using .
and you end up with this, which is a image that when clicked will go to the full size image.
If you want to be really geeky, then combine it with the image resize technique below for ultimate control.

Example:


Embedding Images into posts
To embed an image in a forum post
you first need to have an image on the internet somewhere like,
Imageshack, Flickr, Facebook, Bebo and others.
Then find the link address for the image and use the insert image icon, to paste the link.

If the image is too big you can adjust them in the link like so.

Edit the tag code like so to resize it in the forum.
