I've noticed that some people have trouble with BBC codes and all of its little intricacies and tricks. So I'm going to create a cohesive list here that I hope will help you all out. I'll start with the basic stuff that we all know just to be fair, the more complicated stuff/stuff that isn't told basically to your face, will be toward the bottom. I'll constantly be updating this as well, as I figure out more of the BBC shizz. Note: Apparently 'glow' and 'shadow' aren't working >_> dunno what that's about, but i'll list them any way.
Bold
Italics
Underline
Strike through
[glow=red,2,300]Glow. Please note that color and size of the glow can be changed by messing with the coding after the '='[/glow]
[shadow=red,left,300]Shadow. Please note that color, direction, and size of the shadow can be changed by messing with the code after the '='[/shadow]
Horizontal Rule. Just puts a small line of a divider in the post.
Size change. Can go from zero to...I think about 10.(This is a 1, BTW)
Font Change. Again, the code (and thus the font) can be changed by playing with the code after the '='. The default font is Verdana, and can be changed to any font that your computer supports.
Basic Color Change. Code can be manipulated by changing the code after the '='. Can be used with things such as 'black', 'white', or even so complicated as to go into 6 digit Hexadecimal code such as '000000' and 'FA01C2'
Youtube video embed. Can only occur if embedding is enabled on the video itself.
google.com A basic URL. You don't even need to put a code in for this one, proboards does it automatically.
Display a url as text.
Image embed.
Place a link within an image. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! I'VE GOTTEN THIS QUESTION A LOT OVER THE YEARS!
mekill123@yahoo.com This is an email link. This will open up an Email service from your desktop to email the linked.
Displaying an Email Link as text. Works just like a normal link.
Superscript. Makes text smaller, and places it above else.
Subscript. Makes text smaller, and places it below else.
Another subtext jobby...>_> not suree what this does.
Code box:
Code boxes don't work on spoilers, though, so i'll show you how they work this way:
[spo iler] Blah blah blah[/spo iler]
Just remove the spaces in the actual code.
[spo iler= Title of yer jobby] Yadda Yadda Yadda.[/spo iler]
Same deal, cep you can obviously have spaces after the '='
THIS IS WHERE YA'LL REAAAALLY NEED TO PAY ATTENTION!!
That's right, you can mix codes. You can mix A LOT! of codes in different combinations. The amount of shit you can do with this is near limitless, so I won't bother trying to go into it. Just know that as long as you keep things in order, it ought to work out well.
By order, I mean this:
See how every thing is following a pattern? A code within a code within a code? Not organized like this:
While this may work, it might not, so just keep things nice and neat and you shouldn't have a problem.

- List's are a bit complicated as well.
- Thought Like tables, once you understand them, they're easy.
- The list thing has 3 different bullets, after that, it'll be the same as this one.

These things come in a variety of tasty packages depending on what code the board you're on is using. Ours has this particular little jobby. I've seen about half a dozen different sorts.

Figured this one out last week >_> <_<.
Dunno if you can do it with other spoiler codes. Give it a try if you find a board with one =D
