*Note: Quoting with names invovle a few steps:
author - the username of the one you're quoting
board=# post=# time=# - which board and the topic number, followed by post number followed by date/time in ten digits.

frigging Smilies
;D
:) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8-) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-/ :-* :'(

remember: if you spam smilies, I shall smite you. and then punt you. and then make your RP character's life miserable. Unless your name starts with "Tara" and your username is "admin" in which case I'll chuck a pie on your DoMO character c:

Other Codes
these are codes adding on other stuff, suck as images, links, etc.

Youtube
[yt]v=fudgecakes[/yt]
*Note: say if you had a yt link www.youtube.com/watch?v=YErjlmAwSnE, you place only the "v=YErjlmAwSnE" part, like so:


Insert Hyperlink
[url]insert link here[/url]
OR
[url=insert link here]insert word here[/url]

Insert Image
[img]insert image link here[/img]

Insert email
[email]insert email here[/email]

Combining BBCodes
As some of you may already know, it's possible to ~*Combine*~ all these BBCodes~

[b][u][i][color=red][size=7]~*Combine*~[/size][/color][/i][/u][/b]

let's see... we have the bold, underline, italics, colour and size codes in that one word alone! amazing~

Order is important
BBCodes are read from inside to outside. This means that the codes closest to the coded text is activated first. Why does this matter? becasue it's sometimes the brackets in maths. if you had
1+ (2 + (3 + 4) + 5 ) = ?
you'll solve (3 + 4) first, right? right.
likewise, each paired brackets must close first. If you went
(3 + 4 + 5), ignoring the bracket after 4, your answer will be wrong. Likewise, if you had [color=cookies]insert [b]text[/b] here[/color] make sure that the other half of the code, i.e. [/b] and [/color] goes together with the starting counterpart.

comparison:
[color=cookies]insert [b]text[/b] here[/color] gives
insert text here

while [color=cookies]insert [b]text[/color] here[/b] gives
insert text here[/b].

SEE THE DIFFERENCE? if not, i think you and I need to have a long chat about cookie dough and how they develop into wooden match sticks.

Some BBCodes HATE each other
Okay, so, now that we have the order of coding settled, let's look at codes which does not go together.

Sub[sup][sub]texting[/sub][/sup]
hmm, subscript and superscript, huh? let's see how that comes out.
Sub^_texting
wait... it got... subscripted? O.o"
let's try flipping the codings:
Sub[sub][sup]texting[/sup][/sub]
Sub^_texting
now it's... the same :I

As you can see, one code has cancelled out the other.

next: [color=rain][url=http://google.com]google![/url][/color] gives
google!

while
[url=http://google.com][color=rain]google![/color][/url] gives
google!

in that example, the linking code which hates the colour code for stealing its cookies makes the colour code skip where the link code is.

next: [yt][color=red]v=R_yLYM8IDOs[/color][/yt] [video src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_yLYM8IDOs[/color]"][/video]
That's just; I don't even-
why would you even want a colour code on a youtube video? red hue on the visuals?
In this case, the BBCodes hate each other for disrupting their work, they both fight and Disappears.

wells, that's all i can think of now; if you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment or PM me or something~
I don't bite, I just ramble.
