Site Message/Reminder in Post Forms?

Nov

2011

Hello, me again! I've got another question this time.

I've noticed that on this forum, there is usually a message above the posting area when you type up your post that asks you to provide your forum URL for appearance problems. I was wondering whether it was possible to have a similar message show up on the forum I'm an admin on. We're a roleplaying forum and some people tend to forget to add important details to their posts like the time and date, as well as sticking to the post count we require. So I thought that having a similar message always up would help remind people about it.

Is it possible to do that, and if so, how?

Is that what you meant?

He meant the message just below my post.
See it in the quick reply.

Hello blacksteel & Jack,

He can do it with the new rules update too. But if it's exactly this what he want's it has been answered here:

GAT:TEA, that link is very useful, but it's not what I'm looking for. If all else fails, though, I will use it, so thanks!

Nera, at the risk of sounding daft, I can't see the image of I-Angel-Q's first post, so I can't know if that's what I'm looking for exactly. Embarassed

I'm pretty much looking to add a similar message above posts like this site has. If that's what the link you've provided me does, my search is over! I can't be sure until someone confirms it for me, though... I feel like such a bother, sorry! Dx

Okay, I ended up going with Nera's link and it worked! Thank you very much! Now I feel silly for not noticing that thread sooner... xD
