This is almost entirely pulled from my NS-side Technical FAQ, but I tried to adjust things for Euro-specific coding as is appropriate. If I goofed something (or if you want to know how to code something I don't have included here), let me know, and I can try to edit it in.
CODING
How do I code X, Y, Z?
There is this BBCode guide. However, I'll run through some of the more common/frequently used codes here, as well. (If there are others you'd like to see added, please reply with what else you'd want added, and I will happily do so.)

How do I change the size of my text on the forums?
Font size is determined based on a numbering system. 1 is "normal" size. Smaller numbers shrink the font size. Larger numbers enlarge the font size.
[size=-5]This is size -5.[/size]
[size=-3]This is size -3[/size]
[size=-1]This is size -1.[/size]
This is size 1.
This is size 3
This is size 5.
This is size 7.
This is size 10.
Euro forums also lets you use Big and Small tags (and combine them) to change the size of your font.

You can hide a spoiler tag within a spoiler tag. One needs to have the custom text, and the other cannot have the custom text.

Euro forums also have "hide" tags that work about the same, but they look different:
[hide=Click to see!]Hidden text. Oooooh. Ahhhhh![/hide]
How do I quote another person's post?
The other obvious option is to click the "quote" button in the bottom-right hand corner of each post.
How do I create a list?
Alternate options include:
Numbered lists -
Lettered lists -
Roman Numerals -
You can also combine lists to make a multi-level list:
Just make sure to close out each of the sub-lists you create. Otherwise, it can cause some weird indentation for your text that follows the list.
