If you want detailed information on the codes and how to use them there is a link at bottom left of every 'Post a reply' page (where you write your message) which explains the buttons - it's called BBCode (or Bulletin Board Code) and the link is http://www.russianmilitarytrucks.com/ph ... ode=bbcode
