What is This All About?
When you participate on forums discussions, sometimes to type plain text would make it, but often, you need to make your posts more interesting: to add styles, change fonts, play with colors, insert links or to display images ...
In web development, HTML is used for all that, but in forums posts, a simplified code inspired from it allows users to format text, that code's called the "bbCode".
This blog will help you easily understand & use bbCode. Have Fun!!! :)
ps: don't hesitate to post a comment for any help needed or a suggestion, or just to say hi! :)
In general bbCode works the same in any forum, but there are some little differences from which I already mentioned some in previous posts. (some variants in tags insertion, non support of some tags or support for extra tags)
I pointed differences between the four most used forums softwares which are
vBulletin,
phpBB,
IP.Board &
Simple Machine.
Rest a question: how to know which script of forum is used in the board you are part of?
That's pretty simple, ordinarily, all you need to do is to scroll down to the footer of forum looking for a text similar to this:
Powered by *Forum Developer*
*Forum Developer* is replaced with the name of the developer of the software, so if it's a vBulletin forum, it would be:
"Powered by vBulletin"; same for phpBB & IP.Board,
"Powered by phpBB" &
"Powered by IP.Board" respectively.
On a Simple Machine powered forum you should see
"Powered by SMF".
