the subject, even if you created it DO NOT delete the thread, unless it

refrain from doing so. |

images. Simply copy the resulting HTML code into the thread for the
image to appear. |

We can all hear you when you
speak normally! When you post on the forums, please make sure that you
don't write your entire post with the caps lock on. |

emoticons provided on our forums. Any post consisting of an absurd
number of emoticons will be disposed of. |

Using HTML - |
Although you are permitted to
insert images, videos and even audio into your own personal profile
please be aware that excessive use of HTML code in profiles will be
edited. You are also permitted to use HTML code to embed images and videos into your threads
and posts. |
|
Repeated Threads - |
In order to reduce the number
of repeated threads on the forums we urge members to look into topics
before they create threads. Please also use our forum search
tool to check for existing threads. |
|
Our Media Policy
- |
Please remember that when
posting on the Planet Lara Interactive community we have a media policy
in place. This prohibits members from posting imagery branded with
another website's watermark unless the image is 100% exclusive to
that website. We also prohibit members from linking to Tomb Raider
media featured on other websites that we are, ourselves hosting. We
reserve the right to adjust our rules accordingly at any given time. |
