  Those are just a few of the ones I've used and examples on how to use them. Now if you're looking for some really awesome ones then please visit this fantastic site:
  
• http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com
  

This concludes my little tutorial on BBCodes. I hope you found it informative and you're a little bit clearer on how to implement them

Thank you.

Please note that I did not create any of these BBCodes, I simply sourced them from past experience of my favorite ones. Always be careful if you create you own, HTML could really screw your site if you don't implement correctly. Thank you.

The Coloured Post Background isn't working on MyBB? Any ideas.

Try inserting a HTML color code in the replacement. This will mean only one background colour is allowed though... Not quite sure what your problem is.

I actually needed this on my forum. Thanks alot. (:

Very helpful, I'll be using these very soon.

Thanks for your support fellas.

No, it's not working. Have you tried it on MyBB?

For starters it's:

Title
Short Description
Regular Expression
Replacement
Parse Order
