Most likely you broke our forum or site rules. Please refer to the forum rules for more information.

Since we have moved to Markdown, we have deprecated the ability to use colors in posts, comments and descriptions. We may add it again in the future.

Since moving to Markdown as our formatting system, we have disabled images. We may enable them again in the future.

Here at MangaUpdates, we support several special BBCode tags not found elsewhere.

For Manga
You may do so by using the [m] tag. The [m] tag tries to find the series in our database. If it does, it will replace the series name with a link to the series page. The series name must match either the main name of a series or one of the associated names, or else this tag will not work (does not need to be capitalized the same way).

Example:

`manga Naruto`

produces:

Naruto

For Mangaka/Authors
This works the same as the manga tag, except by mangaka/author name. The tag used for this is the [a] tag. As with manga, the mangaka/author name you write must match one that exists in our database. The name does not need to be capitalized the same way as in the database.

Example:

`author ADACHI Mitsuru`

produces:

ADACHI Mitsuru

For Scanlation Groups
As with the manga or mangaka/author tag, we even have a special tag for scanlation groups (although used less often). The tag used is the [g] tag. Again, the group needs to exist in our database and capitalization does not matter.

Example:

`group AquaStar Fansubs`

produces:

AquaStar Fansubs

For Publishers
You can also do the same with publishers.

Example:

`publisher Shueisha`

produces:

Shueisha

One thing you can try doing is reporting his/her post. Near the upper right of the post, there is a link titled "Report". This will allow you to report a specific post to the admins. Please also give a specific reason why you think admin action will be necessary.

We will look at the report and act accordingly. If you have a more pressing concern, you are free to PM any of the admins. We'll be happy to consider your issue.

Please use the "Report Post" feature by clicking on the "Report" link near the upper right of the post. Insert a reason and submit the form. An admin will take care of it as soon as possible.

If it is as series comment in question, you will need to fill out the Change Request form which you can find in your User CP or by clicking here. Please tell us the name of the series where the comment was made, the username of the person who made the comment, and why you believe admin action needs to be taken for that comment.

Yup, you can! Just go to your User CP and click Edit Profile (and of course make sure you're logged in first). See where it says "Forum Title"? Just enter your custom forum title!

You can edit your profile from your User CP by clicking on "Edit Profile" on the Control Panel or by clicking here.

Here, you can do things such as changing your email or password, adding some personal information, change some forum settings, and creating a forum signature and avatar.

Sometimes, you wish to keep track of where a forum thread goes. Because they are ordered by the date of the last post, it may be hard to find a certain thread you are looking for. To subscribe to a thread, simply click the "Subscribe to this topic" button at the top of that thread. You can find all subscribed threads in your User CP.

Since moving to Markdown as our input system, we do not currently allow images. We may change this in the future.

Well, if you copy and paste a URL directly, our forum will automatically link it
For example:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/

However, if you want to create a link where the words are something like this:
MangaUpdates

Here's how to do it:

[MangaUpdates](http://www.mangaupdates.com/)
