BBCode allows you to specify formatting rules for your text, even if you are not allowed to use HTML in your posts. BBCode originated from the forum software named PHPBB, and this site has a special implementation of it.

As a site administrator and/or a forum moderator, I expect you to follow all the rules of the site and be a good example of them. I want people to be able to look at what you are doing and understand what should be done. Moderators and Admins should be able to recognize appropriate behavior and inappropriate behavior and point it out to the users. This means that if you notice someone making an inappropriate joke, you comment on it or if you see someone with bad spelling/grammar you make a note of it to them.

Attaching an image is easy, if a little convoluted. First, you must be aware, that there are limitations on images. You may only attach GIF or JPEG images and they are limited in size and each user is limited in what they can upload during their time here. Unfortunately, server space is hard to come by without copious amounts of money, and we're not set to start raking in the dough anytime soon. If you want to upload larger files, put them at someplace like Flickr or ImageShack, either way, if you have the URL of the image, BBcode ([img] and [/img]) will allow you to add the image to any type of site content.
