When you go to post a forum topic or reply to a forum thread, you can use certain HTML tags. You would use these to add things like italics and bold-face type. However, if you want to use BBCode instead of HTML, you can. Here’s how. Under the text area where you type your message, there’s a link called “Input format.” If you click on it, you’ll see that you can choose to use BBCode instead of HTML. You’ll have to do this for every message you post. Most messages, however, don’t have any special formatting. So it doesn’t usually matter whether you use HTML or BBCode mode.
