BBCode, or Bulletin Board Code, is a way to format your posts on a forum. Here's a quick guide to some of the most commonly used BBCode tags:

Bold text:
To make text bold, enclose it in [b] and [/b] tags. For example, [b]This text is bold[/b] will produce This text is bold.

Italic text:
To make text italic, enclose it in [i] and [/i] tags. For example, [i]This text is italicized[/i] will produce This text is italicized.

Underlined text:
To underline text, enclose it in [u] and [/u] tags.
For example, [u]This text is underlined[/u] will produce This text is underlined.

Link text:
To create a hyperlink, use the [url] tag with the link inside the tag, followed by the link text. For example,
[url=http://www.example.com]Visit Example.com[/url] will produce Visit Example.com

Image:
To embed an image in your post, use the [img] tag with the image URL inside the tag. For example,
[img] https://trans-action.online/img/logo.png[/img] will embed our logo .

Quoted text:
To quote someone, enclose the quoted text in [quote] and [/quote] tags. For example,
[quote]This is a quote[/quote] will produce:

This is a quote

Code:
To display code, enclose it in [code] and [/code] tags. For example, [code]echo "Hello World!";[/code] will produce:

echo "Hello World!";

Resize text:
To make text larger or smaller , enclose it in [size=##] [/size=small] tags.
For example, [size=16]This text is 16 point[/size] will produce This text is 16 point

Color text:
To make text a different color , enclose it in [color=*] , [/color] tags. where *is the color you want.
example colors are red, green, blue, coral, cyan, yellow and lots more (darkblue lightblue for eg)
For example, [color=red]This text is red[/color] will produce This text is red

Remember that BBCode is case sensitive, so make sure to use the correct capitalization.
You can also combine tags, for example [b][i]Bold and italic[/i][/b] will produce Bold and italic.

Happy posting!
