Earlier this evening, we did some forum maintenance to update some stuff for the forums.
Here I'll just briefly go over the changes.
Forum Changes:
- The SIMG BBCode is now back in action. However, only Trusted Users are able to use this tag. If you try using it, and you aren't one, it should just be removed.
- New Smilies!
- And as I promised you earlier, an TOS theme has been added to the forums. This is a work in progress and community assistance and feedback is encouraged. Feed back thread here. (Note, since people are saying the TOS theme 'looks bad'. As I said, its a work-in-progress. Instead of saying "bad", suggest ways to fix.)
Regarding BBCodes
Along with the re-release of SIMG, a whole new system was implemented to give more control as to who can use what BBCodes. This will allow us to be more flexible as to who we do and don't allow to use them. For the reasoning behind this, see viewtopic.php?f=11&t=25235.
Currently, if you try to use a BBCode that you do not have permissions for, the tag will be stripped away. IE "[blah]something[/blah]" will just become "something". However, there may be a case where you will get "noallowed" as a tag instead. If this happens, let me know so I can fix this (harmless, but not intended). If you are trying to use a BBCode, and it won't let you, even though you should be able to, let me know and I will try to get it sorted out ASAP.
I hope you enjoy these changes,
-Chris
P.S. Yes, yes, I know you all will want to try out these new smilies for yourself. Go ahead, the smiley rule will be excepted here. Spam is still not tolerated. Therefore, pure smiley, or mostly smiley posts will still be deleted. As always, keep posts thoughtful. Enjoy!
