What is UBB Code?

UBB Code is a simplified version of HTML code which you can use to format your messages. HTML is also enabled in most of the forums on The Bar, so you can choose which method to use.
 

URL Hyperlinks
To create a basic hyperlink (like http://www.th3b4r.com), use the following code:

[url]http://www.th3b4r.com[/url]

To create a complex link (like The Bar), use this code:

[url=http://www.th3b4r.com]The Bar[/url]

Note: you do NOT have to use UBB code to create a basic link - the software will interpret a URL in your message and convert it into a link for you.
Note: you cannot have spaces in your URLs.
 

Email Hyperlinks
To create a basic email hyperlink (like forums@th3b4r.com), use the following code:

[email]forums@th3b4r.com[/email]

To create a complex link (like Email Me!), use the following code:

[email=forums@th3b4r.com]Email Me![/email]

Note: you cannot have spaces in the email address you link.
 

General Formatting

You can use the following tags to format your messages:

[b]text[/b] Bold
[i]text[/i] Italic
[u]text[/u] Underlined
[tt]text[/tt] Fixed width font
[small]text[/small] Small
[big]text[/big] Big
[red]text[/red] Red
[blue]text[/blue] Blue
[size=X]text[/size] Size X
[color=#XXXXXX]text[/color] Color #XXXXXX (must be specified as hexadecimal colour code, eg. #00FF00 for green)
 
Lists
To create a bulleted list, use the following code:

[list]
[*]
List Item #1
[*]List Item #2
...
[/list]

To create a numbered list, change [list] for [list=1] in the above code. For a lettered list, change it to [list=A].
 

Images
To insert an image into your message (such as ), use the following code:

[img]http://www.alexkirkwood.com/thebar/smilies/smile.gif[/img]

To insert your personal smiley into your message, use the following code:

[smile]Your-Login-Name[/smile]

Note: the [img] tag is NOT permitted in your signature, but the [smile] tag is. To get a personal smiley, PM AJK.
 

Quoting
To create a quote, use the following code:

[quote]Text to quote[/quote]

which looks like this:

quote:
Text to quote
Incorrect UBB Code Usage
 
  • Do not include spaces in email addresses or URLs
  • Try to avoid mixing UBB code and HTML
  • When nesting tags, particularly [colour] and [size] tags, make sure you close them in the right places.
