BB Code
BB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with. They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing. The ability to use BB code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.

Below is a list of the BB code tags you can use to format your messages.

Spoiler
The spoiler can be used to put something you don't want people to see unless they want to see it. People won't see what you put in a spoiler unless they click on the button. However, it doesn't hide the words from search engines. The board search engine sees words in spoilers just as if they weren't in spoilers. When posts are posted in public forums, Google's search engine sees the words just as if they weren't in a spoiler. Also, things put in a spoiler can be seen by non-members when those posts are in public forums.
Usage [spoil]value[/spoil]
Example Usage [spoil]test[/spoil]
Example Output

Spoiler 2
This is the very same as the other spoiler, but it's using the word "spoiler" instead of "spoil."
Usage [spoiler]value[/spoiler]
