Note: If you are new to the forums (a New Scratcher), you may not be able to post links and images. If you are active on the main site and the forums for a while you will become a Scratcher and be able to post links and images.

Half-true, half-false.
You do not have to be on the forums to become a Scratcher - Infact, being on the forums (as far as I know) has no influence on becoming one.
You can also post links, but they'll just appear as plaintext and won't be clickable.

[s] — struck-through text (Ctrl+S)

Isn't calling it just “Strikethrough” the correct term? Sorry for the dumb question.

With Paragraph, you can make new lines in paragraph style.

A paragraph is the same as a new line and a linebreak, and this bbcode tag functions the same way.
This should probably be changed to

This tag starts the a new line.

Or something like such.

The World Icon will insert your version of Scratch.

Could this be changed to

The icon will paste your useragent and operating system.

By any chance? “Your version of Scratch” doesn't make much sense… If anything that sounds quite useless, more like it's just pasting “Scratch version: 3.29.1”, which it doesn't do.

Also I know this is a huge one to ask, but for the ones that are in the forum toolbar, could those's icons be inserted next to them? If there isn't none, there could just be said they have no icon. This could be done after saying their shortcut. If they have no shortcut, then that could be mentioned too.

[b] — bold text (Ctrl+B or the icon)
[i] — italic text (Ctrl+I or the icon)
[u] — underlined text (Ctrl+U or the icon)
[color=color] — colored text (No icon and no shortcut)
[s] — struck-through text (Ctrl+S or the icon)
[big] — big text (No shortcut, )
[small] — small text (No shortcut, )
[url] — link (Ctrl+L or the icon)
[wiki] — Scratch Wiki article link (No icon and no shortcut)
[wp] — Wikipedia article link (No icon and no shortcut)
[google] — Google search link (No icon and no shortcut)
[dictionary] — dictionary link (No icon and no shortcut)
[img] — image (Ctrl+P or the icon)
[list] — unordered list ( - No shortcut)
[list=symbol] — ordered list ( - No shortcut)
[quote] — quote box (No icon and no shortcut)
Code (No icon and no shortcut)
Scratchblocks ( - No shortcut)
Center (No icon and no shortcut)
Paragraph (No icon and no shortcut)

The checkmark will let you preview your BBCode before posting.

Not really needed, but the icon could be used here too:

The checkmark icon () will create a preview of your post.

You should move the bold tag to after the colon so it doesn't look unnatural:

:[b][/b]) —> :)

And yes, this will still work.

How do you color text that’s inside the (code)(/code) bbcode?

If I understand you, the code is

[color=the color, in hex or the name] your text [/color]

If I did

 [color=red] Hi [/color] OR [color=880808] Hi [/color]

it will produce Hi

If you choose a type of code, such as bbcode by doing this: [code=bbcode] (your bbcode) [/code] it will auto-color if something is correct. So if I did python, the code: [code=python]print(“Hello, World”)[/code] would look like:

print("Hello, World")

Let me try

print("Hello, World")

print("This is cool")

alert("Wow")

Use [code=whatever programming language you're coloring- must be all lowercase (not HTML, html)][/code]
