Forum Use: How to Use Noparse Tags?

Duane Degn

While posting about the YouTube link problem I couldn't figure out a way to keep the forum software from parsing the links I was posting.
I know in the old forum we could use [noparse][/noparse] to keep the software from parsing BBCodes or links. Is there a way to do this in the new forum?
I don't want to start another thread to ask another How To question so I'll ask it here. How does one add a new tag to the list of tags. I didn't think any of the tags applied to this post and I wanted to add something like "forum-use" or "forum-how-to" but I didn't see a way of adding a tag. I ended up using "forum" as the tag.
Edit to add link to YouTube issue. I wish we had a few minutes to edit posts before they get marked "edited." And no, I don't know why it bothers me to have the post marked "edited."

Well, that was supposed to do it, but the xmp tag still shows. Let's try pre:

Nope. Where, oh where?, are the BBCodes when we need them?

Duane asked, "How does one add a new tag to the list of tags?"
You type the tag, then a comma. You know it's accepted the tag when it appears "boxed." You can delete the tag by clicking on the X (or backspacing, as I recall).
You don't have to use existing tags. Make your own.

Heater.

Gordon,
"You don't have to use existing tags. Make your own."

Oh boy, sounds like we can have some fun with that

Just a friendly reminder that abuse of forum resources/features, including the ability to create a tag, will result in unpleasant moderation.

Use tags wisely.
