Sorry, I just created the Roman Empire in CK2. What is this EU4 you're all talking about?

Maybe something like `[@]El Taco Taco[/@]` and when you're quoted in a topic. > - New posts in subscribed topics. How do you plan to do unread notifications in threads? For example, my favorite forum software (SMF) has a topic log in its database with the member id, topic/thread id and the id of the last message id viewed (which I believe is an AJAX call for browsers with JS enabled, and a message included with POST when users access a new topic page for disabled JS browsers like WAP or Lynx). That makes it simple (relatively so) to handle indicators of new posts by comparing the topic's latest message id with the topic log.

Awesome, Mahz! :D

Hey Mahz, I'm wondering if you've licensed your Guild code? Or is it just All Rights Reserved copyrighted to Mahz?

Bye, bye, buttons.

> BBCode is definitely needed thank you Mahz. Using the asterisk as a bold or italic thing was kinda silly... Honestly, it's not. Think about email and text lists before rich text formatting became common. Asterisks and underlines were common ways of formatting text, in addition to ALL CAPS. Markdown follows that same idea, but as I mentioned before, it's more suitable for conversational posts like an email or discussion. It's not as good for novel-type posts, which is the primary content (debatable by our spammers, I suppose) here.

> > Mahz, are you going to maintain Markdown or a BBCode-alike for those power users (like your's truly) who would rather type it all out on the keyboard than switch between keyboard and mouse for formatting. Or better yet, I often write RP posts in another application like Word or (yes, really!) Notepad, and being able to insert formatting straight into the post is a godsend. It's easier to type `[i]this is italics[/i]` or `*this is italics*` than to type "this is italics," move my hand to my mouse, highlight the text, click the Italics button, and move my hand back to the keyboard. > > > > Also, oh my god, you have **INLINE** code blocks?! /me swoons > > I'm scrapping Markdown.

Beyond that I guess you'd type your posts into source-view and then toggle to WYSIWYG-view for preview. > > I could support whatever markup Word uses as long as it only uses HTML tags for styling `<font color="red">foo</font>`, not arbitrary style tags `<span style="color: red">foo</span>`. Couldn't figure out a google query that would give me more info about what a markup copy-and-paste from Word would actually look like. Even going back to your rudimentary QQ code would be a better means. I find Markdown is nice for conversational posts, but it falls short for RP posts. But having the ability to format posts before posting means I don't have to remember (or my own shorthand) when I'm writing posts in different applications. Not everyone has Word or likes using it, and honestly I usually don't unless I need to see my formatting on the fly.

Mahz, are you going to maintain Markdown or a BBCode-alike for those power users (like your's truly) who would rather type it all out on the keyboard than switch between keyboard and mouse for formatting. Or better yet, I often write RP posts in another application like Word or (yes, really!) Notepad, and being able to insert formatting straight into the post is a godsend. It's easier to type `[i]this is italics[/i]` or `*this is italics*` than to type "this is italics," move my hand to my mouse, highlight the text, click the Italics button, and move my hand back to the keyboard. Also, oh my god, you have **INLINE** code blocks?! /me swoons
