Common ForumCode errors

One of the most common error is when you open a tag and forget to close it like this example:
<!-- this will never work -->
[link]http://www.yourlink.com
or
[email]you@yourdomain.com
[email]you@yourdomain.com[email] <!-- must be closed with a [/email] tag -->
or even
<!-- this works out a terrible result -->
[b]your bold text without closing
