The Basics
There are two types of editors you can use when making a post - a preview editor, which basically functions similar to Word or like-minded text applications, and a BBCode editor, where you can do all the fancy stuff similar to the trappings of the previous forums located at Sourceforge. To change the editor you start with when posting, go to Profile > Edit Profile > Settings, and select your preferred editor in "Posting Default". You may also wish to take a look at "Enable Drafts" if you like writing long posts. Warning: If you switch between Preview and BBCode editors while working on a post, it may break segments of BBCode like spoilers. For big posts, you may want to pick one editor (I really recommend BBcode) and stick to it.For more detailed information, see below.

The Grand List of MtG SymbolsTo use symbols, put an extra pair of colons ( : ) around the code displayed in the chart (Or just directly place them from the Smileys button). So for example, to use  , type : : W : :
(Minus spaces)
| Symbol | BBCode | | :W: |  | :U: |  | :B: |  | :R: |  | :G: |  | :X: |  | :Y: |  , , , ...up to  | :0:, :1:, etc...

The [ card ] tag
Returning from the old MSE forums, [url=https://scryfall.com/search?q=!"cardnamehere"]cardnamehere[/url]lets you pull a card from Scryfall just by naming it and surrounding it with the above tag. For example, Serra Angel. If you don't have the full name, the bot can do partial searches as well. Try Chandra for example.EDIT: As of 2021 this tag now grabs exact card name instead. See: Serra Angel and note the different URL from the original. Please format accordingly.

Font Size
Proboards has a quirk where front sizes are actually listed as values 1-7 that correspond to a value like 12,16,20,etc... instead of the actual numerical size value they would use.
If you want to have font size 18, for example, avoid:
[font size="18"]insert code here[/font]
insert code here
And use:
[font size="5"]insert code here[/font]
insert code here

@ UserTyping @username will ping a user. When the user logs onto the forums, they'll have a small notifcation on their profile they can look at. Example: @zephyrphantombecomes ZephyrPhantomNote that you must type the user's ORIGINAL username, which you can find by clicking on their profile in parentheses. In the words of our COTW host:
