What is Boardcode?

Boardcode are special tags that will allow you to format your messages. Currently, Joomlaboard supports links, bold, italic, bold, "quoted" text, img, size, list and colored text. The tags are used as follows:

[b]Bold[/b] will produce Bold

[i]Italic[/b] will produce Italic

[u]Underline[/u] will produce Underline

[size=4]Size[/size] will produce Size

[color=#FF0000]Red[/color] will produce Red

Please remember you can go to a maximum width of 425 pixels.

[ul][li]item 1[/li][/ul] will produce an unordered list, but please keep in mind you'll have to insert
