How to use BB Code

[Bob]

What is this BB code? What can I do with it?

Well, the first advice is to click on the "BBCode" link that you will find on each post page. If you can't find it, it's also here. How did I make that a clickable link? You guessed it, BB Code.

BB Code is short for Bulletin Board code. It allows you to format the text in your post to add emphasis with bold, italic, underline, or combinations of the three. Be careful with the underline code, as many folks are used to the fact that underlined items are clickable links.

Okay, I get it. Now how do I get these codes into my post?

Simple! You have two choices. You can type the codes yourself, or just enter your text as you would normally. Then you can go back and highlight the text you want emphasized and click one of the BB buttons on the top of the form. You can do the following:

Bold
Italic
Underline
