How do you...

[-oMiss Murdero-]

Make your posts all pretty and such? With the a saying in one corner and another saying in the other with all of these pretty colors?

You just have to format it to be that way.
It makes it easier with the tektek tool bar for me. You can find that at tektek.org if you want to download it.

Like this....

Someone once told me that you could have an audience at any moment

This is some text.

So I intend to wear the best mask I can find.

This is what the coding looks like....

     Yep! You just need some BBCode to format your post.
All that code Sherrlock posted should be good enough to start with. There isn't much more than that really.

Now for auto-formating a post after you have made up a nice posting style you will want the tektek tool bar as Sherrlock said, or what I prefer is the Gaiarch tool bar (because it has so much more than the tektek bar).

That'd be... Post Timer, Marketplace Search in the bar, gold tracker, subscribed threads drop down, additional smileys (you can add more), alerts (PM, New Announcement, etc), and Cures every disease known to mankind more. It also covers Fast Reply, Fast Quote, and Fast Edit (in guilds too). I use the Fast Reply over Gaia's new one.

Lol yeah.
The only reason I have the tektek tool bar is because I find myself looking up stuff on that.

I really only use a few things on Gaia.
I don't mind taking the extra step because most of gaia you get gold for xD
I got like 6g for surfing.

xD Coming from an oldbie when it was still go-gaia, that's totally awesome.

     I use it mostly for the auto-reply, auto-format, and post timer.
Though I don't mind all those other features at all...

Let's me make code for my own smileys if I want.
 

[Sherrlock Holmes]

: D that's pretty awesome.

     Yes indeed!
Just need to find me some smileys, get the code, and tell Gaiarch that if I type : float: this will pop up
