I'd just like to say how much I like BBcode. Now that I've got my head around it, I'm finding it addictive.
Some Questions though, ( and yes I am relatively new to the internet):
- Is BBcode unique to Esato?
- Does BBcode work in Win XP, such as Outlook - when composing emails?
- What other types of BBcode exist/are popular?
This adds sooooooo much style to one's posts! Top stuff Esato!

no, its not unique to Esato. I think you get this with the php kit (which is what runs this and many other forums).
btw, I'm no expert but I guess the BB in BBcode standard for buletin board
I expect someone else can elaborate further

I ask because I once tried to add a hyperlink in an email by typing BBcode as per Esato and it didnt work, but I have seen similar stuff elsewhere on the net.
I've found Esato BBcode easy to learn and I'm certainly no programmer... would I need to learn a whole new BBcode language to do the same thing in another forum?

BBCode works on phpBB based forums.
phpBB implementation has parsers so when it finds a BBcode tag it formats the text according to that tag using plain HTML.
Outlook doens't have a parser like that, so its just plain text to it...

@carkitter, according to laffen, images in signatures other than the smilies on esato are not allowed.(i think)
I hotlinked that image from a smiley site and it won't appear when i post normally....only when i edit my posts will it appear!!

Ok, here's the deal, you want technical info, i'll give it to you. Bbcode is a string that the php function preg_replace tries to match in the text. When it finds a valid instance, the instance is replaced with a pre defined html string, anything from font tags to tables. Using the preg replace is good because you can set it to replace only if there is a certain type of text in the bbcode tags, and a valid ending tag. An alternative is str_replace, which works the same, but it can't check for valid text.
