I decided to make a thread that lists any changes I make to our forums. Come back here any time the title of this thread says (Updated *Mo* *Da* *Yr*) so you can not only keep up on the changes, but post your comments.
Forum Changes:
*Note: I can't remember all the changes I made last year.
**Spoiler works like this... [ spoiler ]text you want to hide.[ /spoiler ]
(take out the spaces in the tags though)
And it should look like this...
***You may also add a header to your spoilers by adding it to the 1st tag like this... [ spoiler=HEADER ] ...and it will look like this...
Note about spoiler: You must click the spoiler bar to show message.
****Whisper tags let you whisper to someone. Only the person you want to read a whisper will see them. They aren't 100% secure though, anyone can read them if they know where to look. To use them, put the user's name in the tag like this... [ whisper=USERNAME1,USERNAME2,ect ]Text here![ / whisper ] (without spaces though) Some of you may see a whisper below. One more thing, I just made it so displayname will also work.
