just to say if in the html layout, you could include some of the basic code for links and mailto like in old qmap.

i know its basic but sometimes i get a link wrong just because i miss a space in the line

Valid Code: bold italic quote
<a http://www.link.com>link</a>
<a mailto:someone@somewhere.com>someone</a>

Advanced Code Usage

^^^from peej 

yes, i should do that. 

Please use standard html tags for that stuff. Avoids confusion =). 

i still have to explain what tags are allowed. And anyway, what is the standard html for a quote? 

<blockquote></blockquote> 

blockquotes aren't inline. Perhaps i could force them to be using CSS? But then they would no longer be what people would expect from something called 'blockquote.' Hmm... 

< quote > or < q > atm?

i'd just leave it as < q > (if it is, or change it if it isn't) as it's faster... 

just like qmap. 

just like qmap.

right on! 

On the people page, when you click on the web site (for example Ziffons) it links you to http://celephais.net/board/www.planetquake.com/ziffon instead of the normal pq addy 

That's becuase some people left off the "http://" part of their url. 

metlslime you have done a great job!.....also is there any reason why we cant have the choice of editing our posts, or failing that, at least a preview button.

Most forums have these functions... 

but seriously, take my wife. Please.

but seriously, i plan to have a preview button. 

underline and bold please. 

a feature to block double posts (so we save the self-embarassment after doing it by mistake). if it's rocket science then leave it. if it's easy enough to monitor whether the words are all the same then i hope it might be useful. dont pay me royalties. i already got 6 ferraris and 10 bugattis (i whish...) 

It would be easyer to spot any new posts if it showed in an other colour than white.

And also, when logging in I have to: log in, change page go back and log in again to get it to work. (no biggie but so you know) 

alternate color, or bold, is one of the things on my list. In fact i was just working on it five minutes ago and then i read your post :)

re: logging in -- what happens if you log in once, and then on the next page, refresh it? 

yes, i should block double posts somehow. (ironically, this is not the first time someone has suggested that, and i said i would.) 

log in suggestion does'nt work for me, but like I said it's no biggie once you know the trick. And I'm sure you've got other probmem solving things spinning in your mind right now. 

I think new posts should be at the top.

I can only wonder how many others have suggested this? 

zero others. 

it's a bother having to scroll down just to read the latest. 

even if there is an "end" key... :P 

if you're logged in, the board keeps track of what posts you've seen. Then, when you come back later, there is a "new" link next to each thread, and if you click on that link, it will take you to a page containing just those posts that you haven't seen. 

New posts at the top is just plain wierd. (Why the hell would I want to start at the bottom and read my way up?).
