The custom markup codes for this board all use square brackets, like [ b ]"text here"[ /b ] (but without the spaces) for bold gives you "text here" and [ i ]"text here"[ /i ] (again without the spaces) for italics gives you "text here".

On the post page, above the box to enter your subject and text, and above your username, there should be a line of text that starts "Fill out the form below..." and at the end of that line is says "Markup is enabled, so you may use markup in your posts." The phrase "markup in your posts" is clickable and will give you a box showing you the codes for urls, images, colors, smilies, etc.

I believe standard html tags are also allowed so you can use < b > and < /b > (with no spaces) for bold and < i > and < /i > for italic etc. I think you can make real html style links that way and also add things like a horizontal rule with < hr >
<hr>
rules rule!
<hr>
and other html elements like:
<ul>[*]unnumbered lists (like this one)[*]numbered lists[*]bold[*]italic[/i][*]links[*]images[*]clickable images[*]horizontal rules[/list]
Mostly I just stick to the custom square bracket links though



Hope this helps.
