1. bbcode (short for bulletin board code) are formatting tags people use on the forums, similar to html. as the post above says, you use tags around the text you want to format and scratch converts them into the specified text. you're currently using bbcode [scratchblocks][/scratchblocks] in your signature right now!
   
   
2. when you type out a message you can see icons above the text field. these are for bbcode! you put the text you want to be formatted between the starting and ending tag and when you click the checkmark you're able to preview your text! you can tell which of the tags are the ending one because they have a slash before it, like this: [/insert tag here]
   
   
3. these are still just pieces of text, so the scratch blocks you see on the forums are unable to run inside the forums themselves. i have heard of programs that can convert the scratchblocks on the forum into actual scripts, though.
   

when green flag clicked
if <(CBeebies) = ((Cbeebies) + (97104))> then
