A little note:
You might want to give credit for the resources website to ihaveamac and adriangl too - they are also administrators and they help me soooo much

If you don't want to quote anyone in particular, you can use the quote tag without specifying a name.

   

This is the text i want to quote.

produces a quote box like this:

This is the text i want to quote.

Code
When displaying source code you should make sure that you use the code tag. Text displayed with the code tag will use a monospaced font and will not be affected by other tags.

   

This is some code.

produces a code box like this:

Code:
This is some code.
Nested tags
BBCode can be nested to create more advanced formatting. For example:

    Bold, underlined text produces Bold, underlined text


Smilies
If you like (and if it is enabled), the forum can convert a series of smilies to images representations of that smiley. This forum recognizes the following smilies and replaces them with images:

    : ) and = ) produces   
    : | and = | produces   
    : ( and = ( produces   
    : D and = D produces   
    : o and : O produces   
    ; ) produces   
    : / produces   
    : P produces   
    : lol : produces   
    : mad: produces   
    :rolleyes : produces   
    : cool: produces   

Make sure there is NO spaces.
