Short for
Ultimate Bulletin Board, it is a popular
Web based
bulletin board
system (a type of Internet-based discussion
forum).
Internet users who
post and use forums
based on UBB often see the message "
You may use UBB code in your post". UBB
code is a
simple variation on the common
HTML tags that allow you to add formatting (font
& style)
hyperlinks, or images to your message
post .
Example of HTML code, compared with UBB Code: (
no spaces required in actual
code):
- HTML URL hyperlink tag:
< a href="http://www.webopedia.com" >http://www.webopedia.com < /a >
- UBB URL hyperlink tag:
[ url ] http://www.webopedia.com [ /url ]
