What Are BBCode Tags?
Tags are used to do a variety of different things...

Pro tip: Use Ctrl + F to find what you're look for! (Or your browser/system's equivalent)

Fonts:
Fonts are fairly obvious, you can use them to write in different fonts, a warning though, some fonts are very hard to read when small, so if you use fonts in your post, make sure to click "Preview Post" and check it's readable.
Example: This is hardly readable.
Spoiler - Examples of all fonts:

.
Sizes:
Sizes are another pretty obvious one, in fact, you should have seen lots of examples above where I have used different text sizes.
Sizes allow you to make things BIG or small.

Color
NB: BBCode is written in American English and therefore color tags must be spelled without the "u".
Color can be useful when making a color coded key or just to add more of a variety to your posts, it's also used by many people to hide something without using spoilers, just make your text white.
Example (Highlight to see the hidden message): Well done! This message is secret!
Spoiler - Examples of some colors*:

Smilies:
Smilies are brilliant for showing emotions within posts or showing sarcasm, seeing as you can't see the person posting.

Boldening/Italics/Underlining /Striking Out:
Using bold, italic and underline tags are incredibly useful for making a certain word or sentence stand out from the rest, or for making titles.
Strikeout hasabsolutely nolots of uses.

Alignment:
Alignment allows you to align your text to either left, center, or right.
Spoiler - Examples of all alignments:

.
.
Hyperlinks:
Hyperlinks are used for adding a link to any website you want, when someone clicks it, they'll be take right to the website you linked them to.
Spoiler - Hyperlinks!

.
Images:
Using image tags you can embed an image right into any post, like so:
Spoiler - Images!
.
.
.
Videos:
Video tags allow you to embed videos from Hulu, YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Google or Facebook right into your post like so:

Spoiler - Videos!

Quotes are used to show the reader who you are replying to, don't forget to use them, otherwise your post might not make sense.Quotes:

...recalls Doopz479
Recall tags were originally made and used for the Community Game Jam 2010. However, that doesn't mean we can't use them.
Recall tags are very similar to quotes except they will automatically add "...recalls [Name]" at the bottom right.
Spoiler - Recall Tags!

Lists;
- Ordered
- And Unordered
Lists there's so much things you can do with them; make shopping lists; to do lists; instructions or tutorials. The list (pun unintended) goes on...
Spoiler - Examples of lists

Code tags are brilliant for one reason, they allow you to make as many spaces as you desire (as long as you keep within the post character limit) without it erasing any of them like it does when writing without them, for that reason they're brilliant for making epic drawings.Code:Code
Spoiler - Code!

Spoiler Tags:
Sometimes it can be hard to discuss games, movies or books without giving away the ending. So that's why spoiler tags were born! Hoorah!
Unfortunately VBulletin won't let me wrap the following in spoiler tags, how odd:
Code:[SPOILER=Title text here]Your text here[/spoiler]Spoiler - Title text here
.
.
.
Rawcode:
Rawcode is probably one of the least known BBCode tags. Rawcode stops all BBCode inside it from working, which is why I've used it tons of times in this thread already.
Instead of saying, for example,
"Paste this in your signature without the '*':
[IMG*]http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/227871411/LBPCentral_Small_bigger.png[*/IMG]"
You can simply say,
"Paste this in your signature:
[IMG]http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/227871411/LBPCentral_Small_bigger.png[/IMG]"
...And only the BBCode will show, making it copy paste friendly.
Spoiler - Rawcode Tags!

Highlighting:
Need to highlight part of your post, to make it stand out? Find out how...

Work in progress, more coming soon! (Up next: Image Links!)
Hopefully this should help cut down on threads asking about BBCode.

Thanks, Doopz! I am not a computer whiz and I certainly could've done with a guide like this a year ago instead of all the stuffing around I did trying to figure it all out on my own
!! Much appreciated

But good job!
Oh, and you forgot recall tags....recalls Incinerator22
EDIT: And there are two different types of images: those that enlarge or reappear when you click them (like your example) and those that can't be clicked.Last edited by Incinerator22; 07-16-2010 at 11:41 PM.

Since you didn't have recall tags mentioned, I don't think you saw this. It's very clear and straight-to-the point so if you want your guide to be better than it than you should be as comprehensive as possible. I also think the spoiler tags and different text sizes for each font are unnecessary.

The different sizes for each font are so you can easily see what a certain font looks like in different sizes.

Now all we need is [marquee]marquee[/marquee] tags.
