WHAT ARE SMILIES? |
'Smilies' are small graphical images that can be used to convey an emotion or feeling. If you have used email or internet chat, you are likely familiar with the smilie concept. Certain standard strings are automatically converted into smilies. Try twisting your head on one side if you do not get smilies; using a bit of imagination should reveal a face of some description. Here's the list of currently accepted smilies: |
What to Type | Emotion | Graphic That Will Appear |

WHAT IS BBCODE? |
bbCode is a variation on the HTML tags you may already be familiar with. Basically, it allows you to add functionality or style to your message that would normally require HTML.

Of note You must not use both HTML and bbCode to do the same function. Also note that the bbCode is not case-sensitive (thus, you could use [URL] or [url]). Incorrect bbCode usage: [url] www.example.com [/url] - don't put spaces between the bracketed code and the text you are applying the code to. [email]joffer@example.com[email] - the end brackets must include a forward slash ([/email]) |
