This next section is on what I pride myself on. 
vB code.
-------------
vB codes - explained
Note: Some people refer to vB codes as BBCodes as they are used in other forum builds. But whatever.
What are vB codes?
vB codes are codes that work like HTML but to prevent the exploitive nature of HTML, vBulletin and all forum builds use their own coding scheme, using square brackets ([ and ]).
Can you tell me how to exploit using HTML?
No.
Are vB codes case-sensitive?
No, but certain attributes may be (like images on hosted servers).
OK, how will this go?
I will tell you each tag with attributes if needed, with examples. I have a coding scheme to help separate the jargon.
- Red is the name of the tag
- Yellow will be attributes
- Green shows you what is within tags
- Orange is any = or / character

You should notice a new addition to your postbit. It's a single flag (or two flags if you are in the United States of America or in the European Union) below some of the posts.
You can set yours by going to User CP > Edit Profile, then scrolling to the bottom. There, you can select what country you would like to represent, and a US State if you wish. The very same applies for Canada and its provinces. Selecting an European Union country will automatically add an EU flag.
Viva les Britishers! (Whatever that means)
