Bungie.net forums allow you to use links and modified styles of type, such as bold or italics. To use them, simply type the word with the brackets, then type whatever you want to be modified, then type the word in brackets again with the backslash. For bold you would type [b]bold[/b].
Links are the same. For links, type [url]the link here, then[/url].
Link name is slightly different. It allows you to create a link on a word of your choice. For instance, Bungie.net is the coolest place online! To do this, type in [url=http://www.bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl]Bungie.net is the coolest place online![/url]
You can also change the color of your text. To do this, type in [color=some color like red or blue or pink]The text you want to be colored[/color]. For instance, [color=red]blah blah[/color]. This also works with hexadecimal color values. To do that, type in [color=#six numbers] then the rest is the same. For instance, red would be [color=#ff0000]blah blah[/color]. For more info on hexadecimal colors, click here. Some image editing programs also let you copy a color as a hex code (Photoshop, for instance).
There you go. Don't abuse the modifying by making every post in bold or italics. Use them to signal a point in your sentence where your tone of voice would be different. For instance, "I told you not to do that."
You can place these tags just about anywhere you want. In your signature, in a message to others, or in a database, but not in a subject field.
