Great topic thread!

I'm very rusty in tags and codes, been ages since I was on forums and have forgotten most of what I knew. Was at a time I typed them on the fly.

Wondering if [noparse] Hello [/noparse] works. It does with some software and not with others.

MSL · « **Reply #2 on:** February 21, 2016, 02:50:50 AM »

That's right. Not every single BBCode may work in every website. This is what I know.

SEO · « **Reply #3 on:** February 21, 2016, 02:52:13 AM »

Oh, I'm happy you find it useful! Glad to be useful and creative a bit around.

Alexa · « **Reply #4 on:** February 21, 2016, 02:54:01 AM »

Mojo HOW ARE YOU?

It is not necessery to remember all of these BBcodes, because we have got buttons above every 'POST REPLY'. When you are repling you can click above them: the letter B is for bold, next to it is the letter I for italicized, next to it is U for underline and so on. Under them are our blue lovely emoticons:

, etc.

You are a good writer; I mean you post quick, meaningfully and in good quantity + quality. Just because of this I think you are entirelly alright without any code. But when you need our help, just ask some of us. We can find at least once in 24 hours some free time to explain more. But we're not geeks and we can help only sometimes, when you have simpler questions like these related to the HTML, BBCode, SEO, SEM, SMO and ... I don't remember what else, because I had some drinks this evening!

CHEERS!

*Blushes*

Thank you Alexa. You folk are making me feel right at home.

It will just take a bit of time and I'll get used to it. It's a little different than the tags for vBulletin but given time I'll pick it up. Normally I'm used to typing the tags on the fly. The software here doesn't show that and without the edit you can't go back and look.

But that is ok, I understand the whys of it not being there and it's a small inconvenience that can be overcome.

MSL · « **Reply #6 on:** February 21, 2016, 04:16:54 AM »

I also suggest the function Toggle View. It's the last red A in the right corner (second raw). If you click it once it allows you to see the coding in real time, for instance: you type

Code: [Select]

[b]bold[/b] and it show it at the real time bold.
I don't want to compare, but I really feel this code here is much MORE and much easier than the one in Reddit.com and the similar websites (Voat.co, Skimur.com).
And I think the most useful for a forum/comment are only 3-4 codes like H1 (H2, H3), bold, underline, colors and images (i.e.

Code: [Select]

[img][/img])... everything else is just for fun or semi-fun.

mojo · « **Reply #7 on:** February 21, 2016, 04:41:56 AM »

Thanks for the assistance. Given time I'll pick it up, no doubt. With aids like this hard not to.

Thanks again!

I think bbcode is mainly used in the forum post and some message board even though it is an useful information any way great work

MSL · « **Reply #10 on:** February 25, 2016, 11:35:21 PM »

I do agree with Johnnie Walk!

mojo · « **Reply #11 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:35:42 PM »

No matter how much you know, it seems you never learn it all. I'll be picking at this from time to time when I hit something I want to know more about. I've one or two I've been meaning to pick up from these for occasional usage.

Non-SEO · « **Reply #12 on:** March 12, 2016, 05:33:21 PM »

I learned it step by step. 1 or 2 BBCodes per month.

And I still can't use them all, but, in fact it's not necessary. I think that from 10 to maximum 15 are enough for a normal forum activity.

mojo · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2016, 07:20:36 PM »

I'm sort of the oddball I guess. I'll take the extra time to add stuff, like unicode or other items to add a differing touch to a post to make it a unique style.

As you say, mostly 10 or 15 cover most usages. Never really did care for the buttons all that much. I long ago got used to typing tags on the fly and once you do that for a while, it's hard to go back to mousing tags. Guess that's just me or for folks such as yourself that are on a software for a while. Most of the basics are the same such as bold and italics. Some of the others I'll be switching views between the plain text and autotag to get them down.

If someone is good at HTML, this code (BBCode) can't be a problem for him or her. Examples:

Code: [Select]

<h1>h1</h1> =

Code: [Select]

[h1]h1[/h1],

Code: [Select]

<b>bold</b> =

Code: [Select]

[b]bold[/b],

Code: [Select]

<a href="url">link text</a> =

Code: [Select]

[url=url]link text[/url],

Code: [Select]

<ul>
  <li>list 1</li>
  <li>list 2</li>
  <li>list 3</li>
</ul>

,

Code: [Select]

[list]
[li]list 1[/li]
[li]list 2[/li]
[li]list 3[/li]
[/list]

You can see the similarity.
Here is something important, that I mentioned and you'll like to know: for some days I wondered again and again, why I can't repair a quote in one of your posts. When I tried to repair it, the message was that there is 'empty' post. The message was:

Quote

The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
The message body was left empty.

Well, then I notices you added a sign at the beginning, which was something like 'grin' sign (it's 'grinning', I think). I removed it from your message and voila! The quote repaired successfully: http://www.seo-forum-seo-luntan.com/social-network-seo-social-network/feedback-what-do-you-dislike-in-seo-forum-seo-luntan-com/msg27084/#msg27084

So, when you have a problem with the post or the post's preview, probably it's because of something small like this. I have no idea why here that 'grin' sign isn't 'welcome'. Software bug or server protection? But it's not important, so no worries.
