Bulletin Board Code, (or BBCode or Forum Code), is a simplfied kind of html coding which allows you to add formatting and links to forum messages.
Although the basic tags of BBCode are similar for most forum software, there are some variations. The following codes are those that are more commonly accepted. As you can see, the text you wish to be formatted is always enclosed with tags that begin with [ ] and closed with [/ ] .

• This text is bold
  code:
  [b]This text is bold[/b]
• This text is italicized
  code:
  [i]This text is italicized[/i]
• This text is underlined
  code:
  [u]This text is underlined text[/u]
• http://www.sueblimely.com
  code:
  [url]http://www.sueblimely.com[/url]
• Blogging Sueblimely
  code:
[url=http://www.sueblimely.com]Blogging Sueblimely[/url]
• Red Text
  code:
  [color=red]Red Text[/color]
• 
  code:
  

• “Quoted Text”

  code:
  [quote]"Quoted Text"[/quote]

• Combining two codes:
  [B][color=red]This text is bold & red[/color][/B]
  code:
  This text is bold and red

If the bulletin board comes with an editor, clicking on the relevant button will insert the surrounding code tags for you. All you have to do then is enter the required text inbetween the inserted [] and [/ ] tags.

If these codes do not work on the forum you are posting to or you wish to add tags not listed above, check the documentation for the Forum software that is being used. You can usually find this in the forum’s footer.
