Have yall tried these?  It's kind of like wiki or html email messages where you can use *'s and _'s to make things bold or italics!

For instance, I can type * bold * (minus the spaces) to get bold or _ italics _ (minus the spaces) to get italics!

They even added spoiler tags!  OMG SPOILERS!

*does it really work*?

_oh my god!_

it didn't work ¬_¬

Is there a list of these somewhere?

so you stop being a mod and this is the best troll thread you can come up with? *bold*Lame.

I have no idea what you're talking about...

hooray spoiler tags with italics tags!!!

And at least I didn't tell them that it automatically changes your phone number to x's since there appears to still be some bugsin that...

xxx-x7x-xxxx

Besides, don't be silly, I would have still made this thread if I was still a mod. 

That spoiler tag is handy, but I've been using [ u ] [ i ] [ b ] as tags for ages. This seems like more typing to get those effects.

hey, I'll at least admit that you got me to try

Did you try in the quick reply?  They don't work in that, you have to use the rich text reply.

Here, let me look stupid and try it too. :P

*Bold!*

_Italics!_

I just use the standard (no spaces)
