Donā€™t forget to read the FAQ for the extra vB codes added at the SDMB. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Arnold Winkelried_ > \*\*Donā€™t forget to read the FAQ for the extra vB codes added at the SDMB. \*\* OK. I know I have to be on pace for setting some kind of record for asking questions that have already been answered in a FAQ, butā€¦ The only two FAQs I know of regarding the technical aspects of posting in vB code are [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103503) in ATMB entitled ā€œFAQ - techincal issues - please read before postingā€, and [this FAQ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/misc.php?action=faq), which is accessible as a button on top of the SDMB main page. Are these the ones youā€™re referring to, or is there a FAQ for special codes unique to the SDMB that Iā€™m not aware of? ---

Nope, thatā€™s them. The ATMB thread in particular. With the spoiler tags and suchlike. ---

OK. Thanks. Thatā€™s what I thought, but it seems like every time I have a question and canā€™t find the answer on the site, thereā€™s a _Lost Gospel/FAQ of the SDMB_ that I didnā€™t know about that answers the exact question I just posted. Ijust wanted to make sure I knew about all of them. Thanks for your help. ---

Yes, itā€™s confusing. The ā€œtechnical issuesā€ FAQ mentions a couple of additional vB codes. ---
