Since we've been adding all sorts of BBcode tags recently, I thought it would be nice to have a little summary here. I'm pretty sure there are some tags that NO ONE knows about, even me.
I'll pass on the usual tags: B, I, U, FONT, SIZE, COLOR, HTTP, IMG, QUOTE and CODE, which you all know well.
If you have any suggestion for a new BBcode tag, please post it. They're usually very easy to add.

I'll pass on the usual tags: B, I, U, FONT, SIZE, COLOR, HTTP, IMG, QUOTE and CODE, which you all know well.
- EMAIL: insert an email address. But no one posts their email address nowadays
- HR: horizontal line.
Example:
hello - JUSTIFY, LEFT, RIGHT: you probably already know about [ center ], which is for text/content alignment in a post. Well, here comes [ justify ], which justifies text, [ left ] which aligns the text to the left, and [ right ] to the right.
- MEMBER, or M: this creates a link to a member's profile. MEMBER and M do the same thing, except that M is much shorter! Example: Costello and shaunj66.
- PRE: if you want to display pre-formatted text (similar to the tag in HTML).
- STRIKE or S: strike through text.
- THUMBNAIL: use a thumbnail as a link to an image.
- TN: thumbnail, with an additional option: the height of the image. [ tn=200 ] will become a thumbnail with its height set to 200 pixels.
- TOPIC: link to a topic, providing the topic ID. Usage: [ topic=topicid ]hello[ /topic ]. The topic ID can be found in the address bar. My last aticle's topic ID is 72387, so the code will be: [ topic=72387 ]my last article[ /topic ]
- YOUTUBE: see this topic.
