Things you are doing wrong include:
  1. Using a backslash instead of a forward slash.
  2. Not trying the instant buttons and seeing the code they use as an example.
  3. Using a sockpuppet account instead of figuring out how to get your old account working.
The first two are no big deal. The 3ᴿᴰ one is a bit of a problem, though. Please contact me (or the board.admin@shipoffools.com address) to sort out what to do.

Actually, we've opted for UBB coding for posts on the new Ship as well. There are some minor differences, mostly expanded capabilities.

OK, so what does this mean? UBB coding is one of the less pleasant aspects of the ship when on one's mobile. As is quoting.

I'm actually pleased to hear this. I've gotten quite used to UBB, and it does things such as automatic URL links which I haven't found on other message boards.

The square-bracket simplified hypertext markup known as UBB is what we're opting for in posts. So, if you like to 'code your own', it will be very similar to what you're used to here. The automated coding functions are honestly far superior such that using the markup on mobile devices should be vastly simplified.
