UBB is coded just like HTML is except you do not enclose your commands with greater-than and less-than brackets like < and >. Instead, you use left and right square brackets like [ and ].
Rule 1
--------
NO spaces between a command or end command and the text
Rule 2
--------
The end command MUST NOT be placed after a Carriage Return. That means, if you have two (2) paragraphs separated by a Carriage Return (line break), you'll have to use the command on both paragraphs.
Example: [command]The Sky is Blue. And so am I.[/endcommand]
[command]The Sky is Blue.[/endcommand]
[command]And so am I.[/endcommand]
Rule 3
--------
UBB is not case-sensitive, so you can use either upper or lower-cases at your leisure.
List of commands used on AW (that I know of). NOTE that I intentionally put a space between the left square bracket and the EndCommand for each example. Otherwise, the code would run and you would only see its effect.
BOLD is [b]your text here[ /b]
Italicized is [I]your text here[ /I]
To put a link in your post to another web site is [url]your link here[ /url]
To put an image into your post you use [img]your image's url[ /img]
To put an e-mail link into a post, it's [email][email protected][ /email]
Here is a link to a simple web page on the subject of UBB codes:

Thanks, Borillar!
I have seen threads on ubb before on here, and knew it was fairly simple....but when I need it, I never can remember and don't have time to search for the old threads. I had promised myself to bookmark the next one...and you're it! Wish me luck!

Good Luck, gc2!
I wish everyone would either bookmark this page or print it out or both. Nothing sadder to see than a forlorn post asking for these simple, basic commands.

Since we have a lot of new people that need it, thought I would bring this one up. Borillar is one of the all-time great posters at AW....sure do miss him, and all the rest!
