Hi Guys, I don't know whether this question is in the correct forum or not, but i will chance it and ask it anyway.
1 - Is there help anywhere on PCM DAILY that shows you how to insert graphics into a story?
2 - If not, then is there someone who could possibly PM me and let me know how to do it?
Thanks in advance for any help i recieve. |

Insert graphics? Like, an image? Just use the image code (button with little pic under the text box) and paste the direct link of an image to it (direct link is the one when you can only see the image on the page). Very probably I didn't understand you?

If you mean some of the graphics like what tsmoha or baia make, its the exact same as what luigi said, just you make the graphic ahead of time in Photoshop or a similar program. And some things like Race Logo's can be found quickly on google and added with the mentioned image tags (just copy the IMG URL)

Is there any way you can view your message in all its glory before posting it |

Sure. You just need to add a new reply (instead of writing in the quick reply box), and next to the 'post reply' button there'll be a 'preview reply'.

@sutty 68. Don't worry, we've all been there. By the way, is there a list of hotkeys for copying images for PCM 11? |

Upload to for example Photobucket, copy the direct link and put it in a [img][/img].

@Pellizotti2 - I'm not the best when it comes to computer jargon but what is a Direct Link |

It is what I explained in post #2. And, before you ask it, you get it by right clicking the picture and clicking on 'copying image URL' or something like that (don't know the exact words that'll appear on other languages).

Think i may have worked out the way to do a screenshot using photobucket , but the next question is how do you get the full results of a stage/race via the spoiler option |

Hey man I'm not meaning to be rude but try to work out your way a little bit more, some of these questions have been answered over and over, just search a little bit. If you want to see how to get the results in a table, see how the storymakers do (click quote to see their post), and such.
Anyway, in a very quick explanation, after the race you click 'Export', get the results in My Docs/PCM/users/[your username]/Export/Exported_results, open the file with Excel, Ctrl+c Ctrl+v and paste them to the forum. To get it aligned like a table, use the table function (between Youtube and Spoiler button) and to add them into a spoiler, select what you want to go into it and click the Spoiler button.

lluuiiggii - First i would like to say sorry for being a pain, i know i am expecting too much help. But i have been trying to work all this out honestly, but when i view 'preview reply' nothing seems to make sense and very rarely looks like other peoples posts |

There is one "idiot-safe" way to learn this.
1) Open internet windows (called flikar in swedish, don't know what they're called in english)
2) In the first window, quote a post from your favourite story writer.
3) Make a detailed reply in the other window where you're copying the quoted post. Press preview reply to check if it looks good.
4) Change the results, screens and text with your own and check the post again by pressing preview reply.
EDIT: I am not saying you're an idiot if you don't understand this
Good luck!

Like someone mentioned before: you can always use the "preview reply"-button instead of posting several tries
