Mr Ff is going to provide links to the guide I did for the fforum, but I inadvertently removed all the formatting tags! Could anyone who's about quickly read it and point out any typos or bad formatting that I need to correct before I got to bed in half an hour or so? Thanks!
(The page is now up and running, so no need to inform me of any real doozies, although if there's anything major I can still get it changed)

I couldn't see any errors either (including etiqutte, but then, I can't spell). I did, however, notice my name at the bottom. Nice to know I helped. Nicer to know how....
No idea, other than inspiring me to get all my spellings right to avoid mockery...
I spotted one boojum and sorted it. I can't believe I was so stupid as to cut and paste into Microsoft word to spellcheck - and then paste back in! I lost all my handy tags!

Seems like only yesterday I suggested it might be an idea to have a "hints and tips" page, and at the time PSD responded that it wasn't "crucial". 4 days later it's become "urgent"!
Most fforums have that option, so I guess it would be possible. By and large though we haven't had (m)any problems, so I think it's not vital just yet. I'm sure if it got really unwieldy Mr Ff would step in - or we could always ask for guidelines to be added.
I don't think it's crucial though.
There's a couple of things that've been missed which might be worth incorporating at some point, but it's not important.
[ center] centred text [ /center]
and
[ quote] quoted text [ /quote]
And a very good sig it is. Except for that last sentance. That may be a bit over-the-top. Perhaps something like: 'We can't get rid of him so we have to put up with him'?
And anyway, isn't that a little bit rich coming from our resident animal toy expert?
I can't find the website you were on about, but did find a parody of Alice in Wonderland instead, which is more than a little confusing. Also quite amusing -
"Severely frustrated by trying to author a story starring an editrix, knowing not how to tie in anything particularly erotic at this late stage in the game, and having developed a greater concern for doing the laundry than continuing to try, the author conveniently deposited Heather at the start of the chapter about the race and all that and washed hands of the whole affair."
Indeed...
