Here is a list of some BBCode commands, because this forum is based mostly on BBCode, which means users will use it a lot (usually through the editing bar at the top when you make posts).
BBCode is a simple code typically used in most forum style websites, this one included. It uses square brackets [] to input commands.
[] Begins a command, and [/] ends a command. The text put inside of these brackets determines what command it will perform.
You can copy & paste most of these commands from this
reference page. Just remember that the squiggly brackets {} should be removed after you enter the required field.

Text put in between these brackets will be
bolded.
Emphasis!
Text put in between these brackets will be
italicized. Again,
Emphasis!
Text put in between these brackets will be
underlined. Yet again,
Emphasis!
If you think it is needed, you can combine these together for
maximum emphasis! Just look at the example.

Text put in between these brackets will be striked. Use it for things no longer relevant.
just forget about it
You can also change the size of your text.
Like this! For the {number} part of the command you should put (pt) after your font size, like {12pt}. Putting (pt) after the number will allow the text size to use the same resizing as programs like Microsoft Word.

Puting text inbetween these brackets will be centered. You can also replace "center" with "left" or "right" to move your text to the left or right of the post.

You can use this command to quote people and follow up with a response. There is already a quote button on the forum, so you probably won't use this typed out version. You could use this to misquote people if you really wanted to (but don't do that).
I love the Assassin's Creed series. I really, really do.

Putting a URL to a Youtube video in between these brackets will put it directly on the post.

Normally you would just slap on a URL onto posts to link things, but with this handy command you can
put text instead of a URL for your link!
Now here's a important command!
Putting in an image URL in between these brackets will show the image in the post.
Also...
This command is
very useful! With this you can
resize images! Really understanding this command takes a minute, however.
Notice the
width={width} and the
height={height} part of this command. Inside the
{width} and
{height} brackets you can put in a number. This number will mean how many pixels wide/tall the resized image will be. For example...

Let's say this image is too big and we need to make it 10% of its current size.

If I open the image in Paint (or most photoediting programs) it will tell me the image is 300 pixels wide and 240 pixels tall. 10% is equal to 0.1. Now we can multiply the image width and height by 0.1, which would make the 10% image 30 pixels wide and 24 pixels tall.

Here is what the command should look like with the original image URL and the new resized width and height.
Now, let's see what it looks like in the post.
Very small!You probably want to reduce your image proportions by 50% rather than 10% if you really need to resize your image.
Do not have decimals in your image resize command. BBCode cannot read decimals. Just round decimals up to the nearest whole number.
Also, don't include those dots in the copy & paste reference. Those dots will mess up the command.Getting back to other commands...
This command will let you
color your text! Just put the color you want in the
{colour} part of the command. Try to use the normal name for the colors you choose, and keep it easy on the eyes.
Now for some things not listed in the reference page.You can mention people by putting the "@" symbol in front of their name.

This command will allow images to link to somewhere when they are clicked on.


This command will put text in a
spoiler area you have to rollover with your mouse to see.

Putting text in between these brackets will get it

This command will allow your text to
glow. Follow the color rules when putting in the
{colour} option.

This command will allow your text to have a shadow. This shadow can go either
left or
right, depending on what you put into the
{position} option, either
{left} or
{right}. Follow color rules when putting in the
{colour} option.

Putting text in between these brackets will make the text a
little bit higher.
Putting text in between these brackets will make the text a
little bit lower.
Putting in text after the square bracket will make it a bullet point. There is no [/] required for this command, to end it you just need to move to a new line (enter).
- Pretty useful for listing things.
- At least, I think so.
And that is all I have to offer for now.Remember, these BBCode can be used in posts and in your signature. I hope you use some of these commands (especially that sweet resize image command). If you have any questions or confusion,
let me know. Or someone who knows BBCode.
Keep it clean.
