What is BBCode?
BBCode is the coding for using on forums. It's similar to html, but in a way it's easier. Although forums are coded with html (among other things), when you post, you probably have to use bbcode to make an image show up, change the color of your text, or change the size of the text. BBCode stands for Bulletin Board Code.
Here's a comparison between the html way to make an image show up and the bbcode way.
HTML: <img src="smiley.gif">
BBCode: [img]smiley.gif[/img]
BBCode may differ from message board to message board slightly, but most of it will stay the same.
Here are some other codes (keep in mind they only work when you post on forums):
Bold text: [b] text [/b]
Change color: [color=red] text [/color]
Change size: [size=5] text [/size]
Link: [url] address of website [/url]
