Special thanks to Vlad, who finished the job Jukka started, fixing the bugs the Table Tag had, and Jukka himself of course. Credits to Gulf Porsche Racing and Jaguar Racing for being sources in my research. The job they did FOBYing codes was very valuable and at least 50% of the guide content.
For the fresher managers, was the graphic appearing after GPRO Individual/Team Champion's names. When teams got to 2 digits it was replaced for the current one to save space
If you want to link a particular post, the Quote button generates a fully formatted code, including a link back to the post, all at one click.
Short Quotation [ q=TopicNumber|PostNumber][ /q] Example: [ q=9404|715983]Newbie Forum Guidelines[ /q] Newbie Forum Guidelines
Notice that the post number stands for the entire forum, not the topic post number. Post ID numbers are found within the URL of the post, when you click on # link at the top left of the particular post /forum/ViewTopic.asp?TopicId=9404&PostId=715983#post715983
To get it without typing so much, simply click Quote command in the post and copy this part of the quote [ q=9404|715983 ] Quote [ /q ] then replace with desired text.
It can also be used with the topic number only, without post reference, to link a chosen topic
You can also use this method to quote team forum posts. The only difference is that the code will have |t added after the post ID to reference the team forum. It works internally and if clicked by someone not within the team, it'll lead them to their own team forum (in case the manager is in a team)
Once again, post # reference is for whole team forum section and not the particular topic.

If you want to build a simple table, you can do it by counting the characters and working out the spacing. You need to use 8 characters intervals. Example:
Text Len
G 1 GR 2 GRA 3 GRAN 4 GRAND 5 GRAND_ 6 GRAND_P 7 GRAND_PR 8 GRAND_PRI 9 GRAND_PRIX 10 GRAND_PRIX_ 11 GRAND_PRIX_R 12 GRAND_PRIX_RA 13 GRAND_PRIX_RAC 14 GRAND_PRIX_RACI 15 GRAND_PRIX_RACIN 16 GRAND_PRIX_RACING 17 GRAND_PRIX_RACING_ 18 GRAND_PRIX_RACING_O 19 GRAND_PRIX_RACING_ON 20 GRAND_PRIX_RACING_ONL 21 GRAND_PRIX_RACING_ONLI 22 GRAND_PRIX_RACING_ONLIN 23 GRAND_PRIX_RACING_ONLINE 24
Table Tag
Table tag uses associated tags. In order of hierarchy: [ table] [ /table ] [ trow] [ /trow ] [ th] [ /th ] [ td][ /td ]
You open and close 1 row tag per row. On the first row, you open as many th tags as needed to place the headers. After that, each cell of the subsequent rows need a td tag. Notice that the higher number of header or cell tags (either of those) determines the number of columns.
In this example you can see a more complex table. multiple columns are possible, as well as adding formatting tags for text, img tag, etc.

That last table took 118 lines of code, so if you want such table, be very patient, work hard and, if possible, get assistance from an edition software. I used an online editor that can be found here: https://www.teamopolis.com/tools/bbcode-table-generator.aspx
You need to edit the code it generates in a text editor though, as the tr tag was replaced at GPRO for trow tag

Simplified hexadecimal color wheel
Instead of the color name, after the = sign the code is formed by #RRGGBB, where first 2 digits represent red, following 2 represent green, and last 2 represent blue, using alphabetic characters A to F (hexa) and numeric characters 0 to 9 (decimal). Some examples:

• Tags need to be coded within a given sintaxis. First of all, all tags require an opening and a closing tag, and second; there's a hierarchy that needs to be respected for the content to display as expected.
• Container tags always need to be at the extremes of the code. For example, Manager Profile Link tag:
• FOBY is also in order here. You can try tags combinations at your team forum and mailbox (you can PM yourself, did you know?) Those with team forums will find the edition feature useful to test the codes and modify as needed.
