You can access the 2.0 guide by clicking here.

tips for bbcode (unfinished):
~ use #FFFFFF or white text for spoiler hiding, as white text can only be seen when highlighted (for example: this)
~ when making hacked block representations or making your own blocks, please keep in mind that you have to manually color your blocks like this: :: motion, or else your blocks will look like strawberries

congrats on the sticky

This is my official note of approval.
