The BB Code Help Page Should be Easier to Find.
The BB code help page is really hard to find on the website, but it's really useful! It should be somewhere easier to find. There are always people asking about BB code on the forums. It would be better if they could just go to that page.

I know this one exists:
http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=20859
But the title says nothing about BBcode.
That is a good page. Maybe there could be something on the "support" page or a link following "Forums Home Search Profile" on the forums. So many people have questions about this. There should be an easy way to find the answer!

That sticky says "Tips and tricks about using the Scratch Forums". Doesn't BBCode go in there?
What's so big? The sticky has three things on BBCode:
Forum Code / BBCode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the tips and tricks!!!!!!! (Quite good, but is missing stuff and is a bit messy/confusing)
All you need to know about BBCode. (Made by me, because the official BBCode guide and other topic didn't have everything. So...)

I do think that it needs to be more visible...

Re: The BB Code Help Page Should be Easier to Find.
I agree!
Maybe there should be a Help link built into the Forums in the blue line at the top? That seems like it would be a handy feature. It could lead to a wiki area or a specific forum dedicated to the forums themselves.
We do have the FAQ forum but it's more Scratch oriented than Forum oriented.

Good idea! I hope that happens.

I absolutely support this. Some newer users have problems with the url link to one of their projects, and this page being more visible could cut down on that.
