Fass tutorial from
Clif Here's a little demo of
how I use the Fass forum assistant. If you don't know what Fass is, see
my review.
First I created two text files that control how the Fass Post Generator displays my review template.
When Fass is running, click on the top menu Fass > Advanced > tabs.txt and Fass > Advanced > template.txt
These show you the text files that control the template.
After I backed up the old text files by renaming them, I changed the files so they look like this.

And here is what it looks like when I click on the [Manual] button
under the Post Generator.
Then I enter the info and here's what I see.
I click on [Create] and now I can see the bbcode.
Now I make a small change as needed.

Now I can preview the finished review.
I click [Copy Post] then FASS disappears and copies
the post to my clipboard.
Now
I can paste my new post into the forum and it's ready to
go.
