This is Pretty much the best way to show use your part list. It shows us each components individual price, It allows us to go to the lists page and create a modified version, and it gives due credit to PCPartsPicker. This tutorial will show you how to get the necessary code from your list and how to post it here.
STEP ONE
The first thing your going to need to do is goto your system build page on PCPartsPicker, which can be done by clicking the Icon near the top left hand corner of the screen.
STEP TWO
After you've navigated to the system build page, click the "BBCODE Markup" button near the top right-hand corner.
STEP THREE
Now that we've reached the BBCODE page, you should see a screen that looks something like this:
If you see this screen, well done, because you've made it this far. if not, repeat the steps I listed earlier. Okay, now that we can see the BBCODE, we need to copy it. So right click the highlighted (blue) text, and then go down to where it says "Copy", and click on it.
STEP THREE
Now that we've copied the code, time to paste it into your post. Go to your "New Thread" or "New Answer" page, right click where you want the Parts List to go, scroll down to where it says paste, and click.
You should now be seeing something that looks similar to this:
If so, click the Preview button below the text and scroll down. After scrolling down, you should see your article, but instead of seeing the BBCODE, you should see a nice and organized parts list. At this point, you can either finish writing your article, or if its already finished, hit the "Publish My Thread" button below the preview one. And there you have it! You now know how to post the best PCPartsPicker list Possible! If you enjoyed this tutorial, please let me know in the form of a comment, and if you have any questions or would like me to create another tutorial that answers a question of yours, you can either send me a Private Message or leave a comment.
