How to use "UBB" coding - this is universal across the web in many many forums

URL Hyperlinking
To add a hyperlink to your message, just encase the link as shown in the following example (UBB Code is in red).
[url]www.snowboard.com[/url]

In the example above, the UBB Code automatically generates a hyperlink to the URL that is encased. It will also ensure that the link is opened in a new window when the user clicks on it. The "http://" part of the URL is completely optional.

Email Links
To add a hyperlinked email address within your message, just encase the email address as shown in the following example (UBB Code is in red).

[email]spybotscankissmy455@snowboard.com[/email]

In the example above, the UBB Code automatically generates a hyperlink to the email address that is encased.

Adding Images
To add a graphic within your message, just encase the URL of the graphic image as shown in the following example (UBB Code is in red).

[img]http://www.myfreecolouringpages.com/cat_coloring_pages/cat_on_mat.gif[/img]

In the example above, the UBB Code automatically makes the graphic visible in your message. Note: the "http://" part of the URL is REQUIRED for the [img] code. Also note: some

Quoting Other Messages
To reference something something specific that someone has posted, just cut and paste what you want to quote (multiple quote WILL work) (UBB Code is in red).

[QUOTE]this thread will help alot.[/QUOTE]

In the example above, the UBB Code automatically block-quotes the text you reference.
