Yes, BBCode works here. Very limited HTML does as well. The reason there aren't any buttons or anything to insert BBCode or apply it to selected text or whatever is that lulzbb is very incomplete and lacks a lot of things other forums have, yet at the same time doesn't use a database that's 100% compatible with anything else so it's not easily migratable to anything better (like, say, SMF).
So, BBCode. Note that there is no post preview feature, however, there
is a post edit feature, so you can just edit your post until it looks right.
Bold: [
b]bold text[/b]
Produces:
bold textHTML works.
Italics: [
i]italic text[/i]
Produces:
italic textHTML works.
Underline: [
u]underlined text[/u]
Produces:
underlined textHTML works.
Strikethrough (just use HTML): <
s>struck through text<
/s>
Produces:
struck through textImages: [

Produces:

(note that you can upload one image with each post using the button below the text box)
Links (two varieties):
Note that URLs in posts are not automatically turned into links. If you find that a URL you posted has been turned into a link, it's because I edited your post. lol
Also, HTML links work.
Simple link: [
url]http://www.desudesudesu.org/[/url]
Produces:
http://www.desudesudesu.org/Link with custom text: [
url=http://www.desudesudesu.org/]CAINE Forums[/url]
Produces:

Spoilers: [
spoiler]spoiler text[/spoiler]
Produces:
YouTube embed: [
url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtFotf7NEWg[/url]
(simply put the link to the video inside url tags)
Quoting posts:
Most of the time, the quick quote or quote links above the post will suffice. But sometimes, you'll want to split a quote up or paste something in from elsewhere and quote it, so here you go.
Simple quote: [
quote]quoted text[/quote]
Produces:
quoted text
Attributed quote: [
quote="source"]quoted text[/quote]
Produces:
Original post by source
quoted text
Please use these two sparingly:
Color: [
color=#FF0000]text[
/color]
Produces:
textYou'll need to know how to write color values with hexadecimal. If that doesn't strike your fancy...
Color name: [
color=red]text[
/color]
Produces:
textSize: [
size=36]text[/size]
Produces:
textNote that this size is in pixels, not points!
Other things which are useful but aren't BBCode:
You can quick-reference a post using its post ID. Every post's ID is shown at the top, next to the timestamp. In fact, clicking it will insert a reference into the quick reply box for you, but in case you want to type your own, simply type >> followed by the post ID, with no space before the post ID.
Post quick-reference:
>>4140
