Simple BBcode examples for those with no formatting buttons – Page 2 – Chat Forum

For those who don’t have formatting buttons (quote, link, picture, bold, etc.) available when posting, there’s good old BBCode markup. In the examples below replace the round brackets with square brackets when doing it for real... (b)Bold text(/b) becomes [b]Bold text[/b] (i)Italics(/i) becomes [i]Italics[/i] (quote)Quoted Text(/quote) Becomes: (imgBecomes: [img(urlBecomes: [urlI hope that all works! The main one I haven't been able to work out yet is how to embed a video in a post. The previous (video)YouTube URL(/video) format wouldn't work for me. As I've seen videos embedded in the new forum it must be possible so if anyone knows the solution please post it here!

To edit your link to linky:

1. Click the link icon

2. Paste your link in

3. Click the 'link options' cog

5. Type how you want the link to appear.
