How do I put in a form for this:

[#1]	Release date: 8 September 2007 (USA) Genre: , Summary: [scrolly:h(50),w(460),sy] Type here [/scrolly] External links:

I need it to put pretty much all that in, and I get the part for release date genre and external links I think, but how to put it all in.....
Help please ?

a posting template is more for making replies fit a certain format. that code there allows you to have different templates in the same thread that can be chosen from a drop down. it makes it where specific information HAS to be included or a post cant be made.

if you are putting all these things in yourself, you mist likely dont need a template since you know what information needs to be included.

[Dragon]

I suppose then what I need isnt a template but a preset thing ? I need it to be setup so in a new post that whole table is put inside already and then just paste in the blanks.

[Dragon]

What do you think wormo? Is there a code to drop in the whole table there in the post so we can just fill in the blanks?

[Wormopolis]

just on new threads right?

[Dragon]

Sir, yes sir!
