Lol, half the things he posted aren't supported by this forum. Code tags for example.

And did you notice that he had to type his code with spaces in it because this forum doesn't support noparse tags? That can be confusing for some because there isn't supposed to be spaces in the tags syntax.
Code:
Code tags work fine. Were you talking about something else?
Code tags are supposed to preserve indentation, something these ones don't.

For example: Every time I try to show someone BBcode on here because they don't know about it, I have no way to show them the actual code instead of the result of the code because these forums don't support code, html, php, or noparse tags. So when I post code, the forums always parse the code and show the result instead of the actual code, so there's no way to show someone your code on these forums. This could be fixed with one simple tag: the noparse tag. (all it does is not parse anything inside it, so no matter what is inside the noparse tag it will be rendered as text)
The solution is simple. Take this example:
[b]How to create bold text.[/b]

I've done it by nesting bold tags within the BBcode tag, i.e.
[b[b][/b]]How to create bold text.[/b]
where the nesting has gone one level further to demonstrate the actual code I used for the first example.

Code:
What are you talking about, code tags work fine. Also, I've yet to find a single BBcode guide that has identified all commands, for example no one ever talks about the very useful &nbsp (doesn't work well in code tags, quote to see).

Sorry, I thought the code tag was something else, and also, it wasn't working on another page I was trying to post it on I don't know why, but I checked my syntax and it was correct and it wasn't recognizing the code tags as tags at all, then after I posted here, I realized that they're not what they should be. (Since BBcode is based on HTML, I thought code tags would do the same thing they do in HTML, but they don't)

Now that's just confusing. It would be much simpler if you didn't have to use some makeshift solution because this forum doesn't have noparse tags

Either way, you aren't doing well in the "clearly explain what I want" department.
