The vB Code page has some useful codes which even some long-term members (such as me) may not be aware of. For a start, there's the useful "noparse" container to include vbCode examples without them being interpreted.

For linking threads there's the [thread] container; for instance, to link to this thread --

Long way: [url]http://www.emaildiscussions.com/showthread.php?t=24768[/url] or [url=http://www.emaildiscussions.com/showthread.php?t=24768]Hi![/url]

Short way: [thread]24768[/thread] or [thread=24768]Hi![/thread]

To link to the first post of this thread --

Long way: [url]http://www.emaildiscussions.com/showpost.php?p=234494&postcount=1[/url] or [url=http://www.emaildiscussions.com/showpost.php?p=234494&postcount=1]Hi![/url]

Short way: [post]234494[/post] or [post=234494]Hi![/post]

There are other facilities which some might find useful, such as the ability to have Roman-numbered lists. Note however that the "img" tag doesn't work, and the "attach" tag probably doesn't either.
