BBCode Reference
Niggas in Space allows users to post using a lightweight markup language called BBCode. BBCode is non-standardized and implementations are idiosyncratic. This page documents the most common BBCode tags available to users.

---|---|---|
Bold | [b]bold text[/b] | bold text |
Oblique | [i]oblique text[/i] | oblique text |
Underline | [u]underline text[/u] | underline text |

A Note on Image Embedding*
Images embedded using bbcode are not hosted on Niggas in Space, they are hosted on other servers and the bbcode renderer simply presents them to you. Most browsers will request images from other servers without prompting you. Since users can embed arbitrary images this behavior can induce your browser to give up some information, most significantly your publicly visible IP address and the approximate time you loaded a given page. If this is unacceptable to you then you should disable image embedding on your user profile page.
Smilies
You can also use a fixed set of emoticons in your posts using shortcode. To use a smiley, type a colon, followed by a smiley's name, followed by another colon. For example :hai: produces .
You can find a list of all the supported emoticons here.
