How to use the site
#1

I found this online. Hopefully it’s relevant. If you want to see the coding, just ‘quote’ my post so you can see it. The effects themselves are all shown below rather than the code because they’re…well…in code!

Basic BB Codes
Please use tags in this manner: [tag]Item goes here[/tag] or [tag1=blah][tag2]Item goes here[/tag2][/tag1]
Button Usage Description
bold Makes text bold.
italic Makes text italicized.
underline Underlines text.
strike-thru Strikes out text.
glow Adds a glowing effect to text. This BBCode only works with MS Internet Explorer. This is not a standard feature in any other browser.
