MAJOR OVERHAUL.
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 8:09 pm
I'm sure you've notice a major change to the forum layout. I've upgraded the forum software to the latest version, which should allow us a li'l more flexibility. I didn't realize how out-of-date our old site really was.
The biggest downside to the upgrade is that they have permanently disabled the feature to allow viewable HTML in posts. I've hacked it up a bit to allow it... but it is complicated.
• In order to post/view HTML - I have to set permissions for each account through the admin panel.
• You have to type before and after the HTML code. (or click the HTML button up top).
• Eventually I will add YouTube and Google Video bbcode buttons - but I don't think I can do one for Vimeo. You will have to wrap Vimeo embed code with the HTML bbcode tags.
The most unfortunate aspect of this... is that every post with embedded HTML will now be read as code... because it does not have the HTML bbcode wrapped around it. I am going to have to back-log over 850 posts and add this. It sucks... and it is a TON of work - but I love you guys. If you see any HTML code not wrapped with bbcode tags... please edit the post and add it.
I will continue tweaking the look and feel of the new layout... so things may continue to change slightly.
