BBCode

This forum supports a special input format commonly known as BBCode. BBCode allows a user to easily format text entries without needing to know or understand HTML. When BBCode is enabled, the following input conversions will occur:

All RETURN/ENTER characters are translated into line breaks (<BR> for those that know HTML)
Text between [b]..[/b] tags will be bolded; [b]i love moxie[/b] becomes i love moxie
Text between [i]..[/i] tags will be italicised; [i]i love moxie[/i] becomes i love moxie
Text between [u]..[/u] tags will be underlined; [u]i love moxie[/u] becomes i love moxie
[img=http://image.com/image.jpg] will insert the specified image
[url=http://foo.com/]foo's website[/url] will create a link to http://foo.com with the text "foo's website"
Any string beginning with http:// will automatically be turned into a clickable link that opens in a new browser window

By default, every input box has BBCode enabled. Some parts of the system, such as the private message system and journal entry replies, only allow BBCode encoded entries. Other parts of the system, including the biography editor and journal editor, allow you to turn off BBCode. When BBCode is disabled, none of the conversions mentioned above will be applied.

HTML Entries

In all cases, including where BBCode is turned on, a subset of HTML is also allowed. This is intended primarily for advanced users who want more control over the formatting of entries. The following table lists the HTML tags which are allowed and the associated tag attributes that are allowed.

Attempting to insert a tag that is not on the above list will simply insert it's viewable equivalent. Sorry skr1pt k1dd13z, you can't use javascript here.
