When you're writing an article or posting a comment in the forum, there may be buttons at the bottom of the composition area. These buttons allow you to format your message with some attractive accents. The tags used to create these formatting effects are called UBBC (Universal Bulletin Board Code). All UBBC tags and smilies are just bracketed letters or words that make your posts or articles "pretty". If you want a word to stand out, before you type the word, type a bracket [then the letter b and then a closing bracket]. Now type the word you want to be bold. After typing the word(s) you want to stand out, close the tag. Type a bracket [then a forward slash (on the question mark key, unshifted) like this / and a closed bracket] . Then continue typing your text. Alternately, you can just click the B button... but be warned... the code for that button will be placed at the very end of your message, not wherever your cursor is blinking. You'll soon come to prefer typing the codes rather than clicking their icons, if you're like most people. It's easy to remember the codes. I mean: Italics. U means underline... and so on. You can center your text, or right align it. You can put in an email address that is hyperlinked, as well. The rule to using UBBC Codes is that anything you open, you close again. So, for every bracketed item, you have to close with a bracketed "slash" item. The following is a list of the UBBC Code tags and what effects they'll produce. Both the open and close tag for each formatting feature is included in these examples.
