### Section 1
#############################################
$SectionSub1 = "Starting_a_Topic";
$SectionBody1 = qq~After you have registered an account, you will have the ability to start new topics. To do so, navigate to a category you would like to begin a conversation in. Make sure that this is the correct category for the subject of your post. Once you're inside this category, search for a link or button titled &quot;Start New Topic&quot; and click it. The exact location of this button will vary depending on which template is being used, but it is often near the top of the list of topics.

<p>This will present you with a new page where you can begin to type your post. Below you will find a description of the items on this page.</p>

<p><b>Subject:</b> This is the title of your topic and is what will be shown on the category page.</p>

<p><b>Message Icon:</b> If you would like to add a special icon to your post, you may choose one from this list.</p>

<p><b>Add YaBBC tags:</b> YaBBC tags give you the ability to format the text in your post. To add, simply click on the button of your choice. See below for a complete reference.</p>

<p><b>Add Smileys:</b> Personalize your post by adding an emoticon, or smiley. Just click on the one you want and YaBB will automatically put it in your post.</p>

<p><b>Attach:</b> If the Administrator allows, you may be able to add a file to your post by clicking on the &quot;Browse&quot; button to find the file on your hard drive to upload. Pay attention to the allowed file types and maximum file size.</p>

<p><b>Post/Preview/Reset:</b> These three buttons do exactly what you would expect. Press the &quot;Post&quot; button if you're ready for the community to view your message, press &quot;Preview&quot; if you would like to see what your post will look like first or press &quot;Reset&quot; to clear all of the boxes and start again.</p>~;

The exact location of this button will vary depending on which template is being used, but it is often near the top of the list of topics.

### Section 4
#############################################
$SectionSub4 = "YaBBC_Reference";
$SectionBody4 = qq~For security reasons standard HTML code cannot be used in posts. Instead YaBB allows the use of YaBBC (YaBB Code) for formatting. YaBBC is similar to HTML, but safe and standardized for bulletin board use. To use, you can either click on the YaBBC button of your choice on all post pages or manually type them in. Below is a listing of each tag and it's function.

<p><b><u>What is YaBBC?</u></b></p>

<p>YaBBC is a set of tags based on the HTML language. It allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing.
Most YaBBC tags can be wrapped around text, by first <span class="highlight">highlighting</span> the text, and then clicking on the YaBBC button with the desired formatting.</p>
