CSS Tags:

For those who do or don't get how the css bbcode works, I think it's pretty simple. Once again, I think you can create some pretty sick stuff with these tags. You should experiment with these sometime. The best place to experiment with these is in your profiles. Create a test page in your profile and just let your ideas run wild in there. Here's some common CSS tags that you can use whenever using the bbcode.

width: (value)
height: (value)
overflow: scroll/none/auto (for vertical only set to auto)
float: left/right


background-color: value
background-image: url("address")

More about backgrounds: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp


border: color, thin/medium/thick and Style:
hidden

dotted

dashed

solid

double

groove

ridge

inset

outset

Borders can be set for each side individually as well.

padding: #px (Can be useful if nest [css] tags within another for a more elaborate border.
As an example

color: #value (this is text color)
text-decoration: overline/blink/
