Simple Question- How do you use the code button on the forum? I see it used but I don't know how and I don't want to try for fear of confusing someone badly.

The only thing that's not afraid of a dragon is a marksdwarf.
Or maybe a mechanic, if given enough time to prepare.

The preview button really helps at times like that.

Anyway, just type
[CODE (and then a right bracket
immediately before your message and
[/CODE (and then a right bracket)
immediately after (no whitespace).

Basically all it does is prevent linebreaks.
So don't type a really long message in [CODE ] without manually linebreaking or you'll kill the forums bad.
