    [​IMG] I implemented a handy UBB code panel today. You'll see it whenever you make a new reply or post, or edit your own post. I think it'll be much easier than inserting the code by hand. If you have any comments about it, questions, bugs to report or so on, post here.

    YUKK!!!

    Whatever.

    I do see what Mode-off means.

    However I haven't got a clue what does Help, Prompt and Inline do...

    Tal?

    [​IMG] Prompt is the default mode. Help will open a helping pop-up if you click on any of the buttons. As for inline, I don't know exactly. I suspect something to use with programming code. Not really of much use.

    Found it!

    Prompt opens a new window to fill the text inside, but Inline just drops the UBB code in the text without the question.

    For example, try both modes with bold or quote to see it.

    It's for programming code... it preserves original formatting of the text. (Usually meaning it breakes the board layout somewhat horribly.)

    This is what the code is for - TABLES.


    Code:
    
    

    But the problem was with default too small letters.

    Now we can finally do this:

    Sticky rambling


    It is a thread that is always on the top until:
    - mod removes it's "sticky" property
    - the timer of it being sticky expires

    Of course, such is on the other forums, details for SP should be provided by Tal.
    I don't know if ordinary member can set the thread to be sticky, but the mods can.

    There are currently three sticky threads in this forum - this one is one of those.
    Spot the icon in front of them, it's yellow "paper" with a silver pin.

    And don't miss the De-top on the bottom of this thread. Click on it to see what it gives.

    The threads that are not sticky have Top at the bottom.

    This doesn't apply to older threads unless someone posts something inside. We'll have to wait till Tal "recompiles" the boards or whatever to make it on each page.
    Btw, "recompiling" would be nice Tal - older threads still have those nasty monkey pop-ups...lol


    [EDIT]
    Ok, I've checked it, ordinary member can use Top issue (to "bump" the thread), but not De-top one.
    I tried it with the Nuns on the Run, if you watch on the date and time closely, you'll see it's "up" although it's older than some other threads below it.

    It is the temporary sticky of course. That's why you won't see the sticky icon in front of it.
    Ordinary member can't make thread as permanent sticky. Only mods.

    Sniper mumbles to himself...

    All this high technology stuff is taboo! I must see its destruction! Way to complicated for our holy minds! The corrupt ones will destroy us all!

    Man why does one have to so bold as to come up with such technology? But a forsee good times ahead!

    Yes! the good times of primitive lifestyle where the almighty gawds and babes were worshipped! Come again those times!

    [​IMG] Ahhh, the elusive sticky is explained. Thank you much, Extremist.

    I see people abusing this option.

    [​IMG] Not really, but hey, it's like the debate on today's CPUs. We don't REALLY need that much power, but it's nice to have from time to time.

    Hmm, I'm not too sure what to think about some of the new features ...


    quoting ... (just look at the mess on the BIS boards ... :rolleyes: ), however, since this board is pretty well moderated and the quote button only genernates the UBB code needed, the risk for mayhem is lower :D :hahaerr:

    The worst of all is: Now (almost) every idiot can use UBB code ... :mommy:
