The Beginner's Guide to BB Codes

BB Code stands for Bulletin Board Code, and is what people use to do awesome stuff on forums. XD For example, there are two ways to post pics:

URL:
http://i50.tinypic.com/iwluo7.png

OR 'img' code:
Code:
 
[IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/iwluo7.png[/IMG]


Which, when posted outside of code tags, makes this:
Posted Image
Or whatever image you posted.

Also, you make underlined text like this:
Code:
 
[U]hey[/U]


And bold text like this:
Code:
 
[B]hey[/B]


Or make a weird looking link (like http://i50.tinypic.com/iwluo7.png) into a word like this:
Code:
 
[URL=http://i50.tinypic.com/iwluo7.png]Enga Province Zoo Banner[/URL]


Different sizes can be made like this:
Code:
 
[SIZE=7]Size[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14]Size[/SIZE]


Another, convenient thing about BBC is that you don't have to make the words all caps. You can also change the color Like this:
Code:
 
[COLOR=(Type a color name here)]hey[/COLOR]


Quote:
 
Quotes

are made like this:
Code:
 
[QUOTE]yo[/QUOTE]

You can also add the name of the person who you're quoting and when they said it like this:
Code:
 
[QUOTE=Dino Keeper @ 5:24 PM]The Beginner's Guide to BBC[/QUOTE]


And there's also one more that I have actually never used (not counting email inserting)- list code.

  • LIST!!

  • LIST?

  • List...
Code:
 

[LIST]
[*]LIST!!
[*]LIST?
[*]List...
[/LIST]


Adding extra part about non-button BB Codes ~~ Manu

As well as the codes mentioned above, there are also many more that do not have buttons on the reply screen.

Code:
 
[hr]

Makes a horizontal line



Code:
 
[sup]TEXT[/sup]

Makes the text appear at the top of the line.

and

Code:
 
[sub]TEXT[/sub]

Makes the text, you guessed it, at the bottom of the line.




Code:
 
[s]TEXT[/s]


Makes a strike appear on the word

Code:
 
[align=center]TEXT[/align]
[align=right]TEXT[/align]


Makes the words centered
Makes the words appear at the right of the page

So, how do you center them?

Do you just put the [align=center] thing around the IMG code?
