As an alternative, the shortcut Ctrl+K can also be used.
HOW TO EMBED MEDIA INTO POSTS
To embed Media in your posts click the button with the ellipsis, by doing so you will get a drop box which contain Media.
The following box then should show up and just copy paste the link of the media you want to embed. The supported websites are all represented bellow the URL box. These may change in the future with new updates.

To view all BBCODE options we offer please click HERE.
HOW TO ADD SPOILERS
NORMAL SPOILERS
To insert spoilers in your posts click the button with the ellipsis, by doing so you will get a drop box which contains Spoiler.
After clicking it a pop-up box with Insert spoiler will appear. In it there is an option to add a general title to hint users what the spoiler will be about. This step is optional, if you don't want to use it simply leave it blank. Click Continue to insert the spoiler BBCode.
After clicking Continue, this should appear, please write what you desire to be in a spoiler where it says INSERT TEXT HERE. Complete the rest of your post and then click POST as normal.
INLINE SPOILERS
If you only want to put a spoiler on a specific work or phrase, but want the rest the text to show up as normal, there is the option to use inline spoilers. This will allow you to display text inline among normal content which hides text that may contain spoilers and must be clicked by the viewer to be seen.
To use this option just use the bbcode [ISPOILER][/ISPOILER] in between the words or text you want to hide.
EXAMPLE: I want to hide this specific phrase in this text.
The correct code for this would be: I want to [ISPOILER] hide this specific phrase[/ISPOILER] in this text.

I can't even get signature to open. If I come in through anyway but typing the site into the browser more things don't work, so I can't save it to just click in. It seems clear that this site wasn't designed for anyone who is on the phone. I even tried connecting a mouse to the phone, it didn't help. I have no computer and am unlikely to get one. Unlucky me.

For the DP it needs to be resized down as max file size is 2MB and it's over 6MB. I resized it down to a smaller size, so now it's only over 1MB. Try again with this gif and see if it works.
I'll check into adding sigs on mobile now, will get back to you after testing it.

GuestIt looks like it did upload though, will check into why it's sending back errors despite that. As for a sig, I removed mine and then re-added it via my phone using the mobile version of the website. After clicking the image icon, paste the URL and hit insert. The image will need to end in .jpg, .gif, etc.

GuestI have an iPhone so I can't really test that browser. I would suggest trying Google Chrome possibly, or alternatively, this would take longer but it should work:

It seems to work but is very inconvenient. I haven't seen the sig yet. I will work on it.
