img would be fun, but the negatives outweigh the benefits; at least with a hyperlink you have some control over whether you see the image. There are a few BB codes above that probably aren’t necessary either, for example I am surprised that [color] isn’t yoinked. I have no qualms really but I do wonder how long it will be before somebody thinks it’s clever to use rainbow text or starts posting all their posts in obnoxious colours to distinguish themselves? I think most of us will agree “that guy” can consider themselves ostracised in advance.

But couldn’t someone use the to display images or a youtube embed maybe…?

Nah, that isn't how it works. All it makes is a reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggggggggggg text boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooox, the purpose is so that it doesn't ruin the formatting of html. It is pretty redundant tbh, it is just a quote box with the ability to scroll along.

But that’s fun though…
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Shouldn’t this be pinned?

No.

Bumped for it’s usefulness.
Took me a while to find this thread, alright now time to check out these codes again.

Edit: Looks like colors are disabled.

A few things have been disabled. Underline is the only useful one missing.

Also

ctrl+i = italic
ctrl+b = bold
ctrl+u = underlined

Thanks a bunch!! I feel enlightened!
