Apropos of my thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1780184 is there any bb code for Altcoin symbols like we have [ btc ] for bitcoin?  can we have similar codes for other Altcoins or atleast for top 5 Altcoins?

No, there aren't any and I doubt this'll change any time soon, especially considering how volatile the altcoin world is in terms of which coin is trending at the moment. You could try and dig around Unicode characters for symbols similar to whatever coin you want to represent or just link to small icons (like some do with custom emoticons) in your posts. If you're familiar with Javascript, you could write up a few userscripts, which add additional buttons in the "Post reply" page for quick embedding of such symbols / images.

EDIT:
Aaand I decided to make a userscript anyway: https://github.com/mprep-btc/Bitcointalk-Post-Iconizer

Thanks a lot for your reply and also for creating this userScript. Although a combination of various keys to produce these symbols may be a bit annoying to many but given the huge numbers of Altcoins that we have,we obviously can't have a code for each of them.
