We had these years ago, I dunno why/when they ever disappeared. Either way, re-implemented. With the same bbcodes too, not that I know of any posts that ever used them.

If you don't know what "float"ing something is when talking about the layout of a webpage, read this article about floats (http://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/). The important bits are floating things left and right, but also clearing.
Put simply: A floated object aligns to the left or right, with the remaining content wrapping around it. Different to normal left/right tags which break lines.
A clear is useful if you want to make sure something appears under your floated content and doesn't wrap around it. No matter how wide you make your browser window, this text will never appear alongside the kitten but always under it. Without the clear, it'd go up between the pidgeot and the kitten. A clear is like a special invisible HR to always go under any floats you've used. Note that the real HR above still wraps even though it's an otherwise block level element.
Floated text to the right.
Floating text behaves a little odd, this tag is mainly aimed at objects like images or youtube video embeds and the like. The invisible box of a floated object is invisible / unstyled on purpose so it doesn't get in the way of any creative uses people might have, for layouts of fancy posts and such.
So with that said, here are the tags:
[fleft]Stuff to float left[/fleft]
[fright]Stuff to float right[/fright]
[clear] - used on its own
:roph2: Quote this post to see its BBCode source if you're still curious how this post is layed out. Also, the bbcode source for my current sig is this:
