Short notice about the forums editor

By default, every topic can be answered using the 'Quick Reply' field at the bottom. If you want more functions, like buttons to include videos, mp3s, images or links, you can click on 'Full Editor'. For the convenience of loading time, the Full Editor is now set to use a lighter and quicker version than before, while keeping most of the functionality. Needless to say that you can still use the BBCodes entered manually in the Quick Reply window.
(And seriously, do you really need glowing text and drop-shadows? No lame jokes please!)
To embed youtube videos, use the new function:
where we take the video code found behind the v= in youtube links.
This produces:

Added some new BBCodes:
* the ascii tags let you post ASCII art and display it "correctly" (nah, not really)
divbox=color
makes colorful boxes
for illustration purposes
just don't use white ;)
Code: Select all
[divbox=white]just don't use white ;)[/divbox]
* a progress bar, embraces a value between 0 and 100:
70%
useful if you rate tobaccos or window managers in your reviews ;)
*
Add some background colour
Code: Select all
[bgcolor=green] Add some background colour[/bgcolor]
* google search:
lmgtfy (I see some heavy use of this in the support section)
* same, using ixquick because ->
Pidsley <- likes it ;)
* link directly to the BBQ Wiki if something is
Fishy (check the caps)
* Anchor and goto - this is useful if you have a TOC
Code: Select all
We jump from [goto=jump]here[/goto]
...
.....
..
[anchor=jump] to here
You can use this thread as playground to test. ;)
