    I'm Radaboy, my real name is Jay. I fakeskate, as shown here. And while I fakeskate I ride this board which was made by this guy who also happens to be a brony. I skate in real life, too hence my going to the SLAP forums. Not to mention I also check out the thrasher website daily. I LOVE to read, I'm reading 5 different books right now, the one I'm mainly focusing on is Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I like all kids of music, from world (specifically african) to emo to metal to rap to hip hop and then to my absolute favorite kind of music, punk. My favorite bands/musicians are, The Junior Varsity (rip), Common (rapper), subseven (rip), Black Flag, Bad Brains, Friction (rip), Craig's Brother, MxPx, Slick Shoes (rip), Thursday (rip) and a lot of other guys, it goes on and on. If you haven't noticed, I listen to alot of dead bands :/ I don't know this happens, but I really with they would all just get back together. For TV shows, I really like M*A*S*H, obviously MLP: FiM, Family Guy, Law & Order: SVU and a lot of other stuff. I guess this is the part where you ask me questions/welcome me to the forums. And then this is my dA.

    (P.S. is it normally like this with the post editor where you can only edit text and everything has to be edited manually? Not that it matters since I go on another vBulletin forum and now to put tags in front of certain parts of text, just wondering)

    Hey there Radaboy! Welcome to our herd!

    Hmm, I'm not familiar with any of those bands, so I now have something to check out when I can. I'm not much of a skater, so I'm certain you can skate circles around me.

    I usually read three books at a time - usually one entertainment book (sci-fi, mystery, fantasy), one science book, and one biography - preferably of a historical person, long dead.

    As for the question about post editing - can't really help you much there. I'm pretty pathetic about such things. I'm sure the information is around here somewhere, though.

    Hope to see your posts in the future!

    Hi there, Radaboy! Welcome to Everypony! I hope you enjoy your stay with us! :grin:

    You've got quite the diverse taste in music and TV there. So do I. I even watch a few of those shows you listed from time to time.

    As for the editor, by default vBulletin sets it to the basic editor (text box only). If you're like me, you definitely want to change that. It was the first thing I changed when I registered.

    Here's what you need to do:

    1) Click on "Settings" in the upper-right at the top of the page.
    2) On the menu on the left, click "General Settings" under "My Account."
    3) Scroll down until you get to "Miscellaneous Options."
    4) Change the editor from Basic Editor - A simple text box to Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing.
    5) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save Changes" and you're done! ^^

    You'll soon see that the enhanced editor is much more sophisticated.

    I hope that helps! If you need any assistance with BB Code, check out this page here. If you have any further questions, feel free to send a private message my way and I'll be more than happy to help you! :)

    Once again, I hope you enjoy your stay with us at Everypony!

    What ePONYmous said. Switching to the advanced interface was one of the first things I did here as well. Lots of cool stiff to mess around with :)

    Anywho, welcome to the forums! I hope you have fun and enjoy your stay :D
