We have spoiler tags, why not just say to use them? | ||

That rule is generally for Anime/Manga discussion where some people might not have the chance to watch/read the series yet. The general rule is to avoid spoilers if possible. But if one must post a spoiler, they should use the spoiler tag of course. But on top of that, say something like "this may spoil it if you have not read chapter xx" or something along the line. I've yet to see people abuse that rule. |

The goal of the mobile version is to make load times as short as possible. As most signatures here are made of images, that would go against the intended "feature" of the skin. The straight answer to your question is "no, it wouldn't be difficult", but it will not be implemented because it would increase load times. | ||

I shall tell Perry about this as soon as I see him though. *scribbles something down on a piece of paper* I will get back to you as soon as he gives me an answer. Don't worry Tessou sir! You now have +1 person to bother Perry! |

Some folks want to talk about the game without having to set up another account. Until some sort of universal account system arises, that's just the way it goes. On that note, don't expect something like that to happen for a long time. |

The last thread made there was May 9 2012, but ignoring that, the section hasn't even seen one post since Aug 30 2011, 04:04 AM. You call that active? | ||

I will look at the WMMT section and determine what to do about it. Outright deleting it is out of the question, because policy here is to never delete any posts or threads unless they're truly junk material. Eliminating an entire section is kind of a big deal. |

That is, I made it invisible and read-only. Members seeking discussion of all things Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune should head on over to our sister site, Wangan Midnight Expressway. |

Patient Zero Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,279 Member No.: 37,947 Joined: Oct 1st 2011 Location: Update Profile | Just wondering, what are all the different tags what we can use on the forums? I mean I already know that we have the standard ones that are shown on posting toolbar, but isn't there a code for super/sub scripts? |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | The forum uses bbcode (bulletin board code), which is a simple yet versatile markup language specifically tailored for message boards/forums. The "quick list" of tags on the post form is quite small and features the most popular tags used for posting here, but there are a lot more that can be used. Here is a sampling of what you can do with it. |

Keep in mind that BBCode is an evolving, non-standard scripting language. It isn't like HTML where all the functions are pre-defined. You can in fact create new functions in BBCode that will only work on your custom forum software. For instance, while we use the {youtube} code, I have seen forums that instead use {flash} for the same function (though it works on many more services). The basic formatting functions (bold, italics, font, color, quotes, etc) are guaranteed to work on any forum that uses BBCode. The exception is strikeout which may or may not exist (I've seen some older software that didn't support {s}). Once you get into more advanced code, though, all bets are off. I've never seen the {edit} tag before, personally. This is why a list of BBCode that works with your forum isn't something that you can get off of a random reference page, only the person who manages your forum can provide the full list of useable functions. | ||

Also, would there be any possibility of creating a "Post-Merge" button, which just adds your new post onto your existing, like the edit button, but still bumps the thread without the double/triple post? Maybe making the button insert the post merged tag. [ SIZE=0.5][ Post merged on [ mrgtm]value [/mrgtm] ][/SIZE] [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

I'm not staff and I'm certainly not the database administrator but personally I feel that such a function would be a waste of code for a feature that is more annoying than anything else. The potential for abuse is too great. |
