MyCode is used to format posts in MyBB. If you know HTML, MyCode will not be a problem. MyCode is enclosed in square brackets: [ ]

There are several types of MyCode:

• Those with an opening tag and a closing tag like the bold tag: [b]text[/b]
• Those with only one tag: [hr]
• Those with attributes within the tags: [font=Comic Sans MS]This will be in Comic Sans MS[/font]
• Those that need an opening tag, a closing tag, and tags in the middle (such as in lists)
• There is Custom MyCode
