Categories and Tags
Categories are the main organizational tool on the Ultiworld Forums. Be sure you are posting in the correct category when you create a new topic thread.
Tags can be optionally used to classify topic threads in ways that go beyond the set of available categories. At present, the only tags available are the following three:
- mens
- womens
- mixed
Markdown
Posts can be formatted using simple HTML, BBCode, or Markdown:
This is **bold**.
This is <b>bold</b>.
This is [b]bold[/b].
