  The New 'e' Code!
Posted by: TheBuzzSaw - 02-13-2010 01:11 PM - No Replies

This code is a bit more technical than other tags. It involves the placement of something called HTML entities. For you and your everyday posting, it just lets you post unusual symbols.

If I were coding in HTML and wanted to place the copyright symbol, I would use the code ©. However, MyBB (the forum we're in) filters symbols such as & because it assumes you want to output the symbol, not use it in some code. So, it ends up just looking like this:

©

So, enter the e code! When using an HTML entity in this manner, you simply place everything except the & and the ; between the e codes: [ e ]copy[ /e ]

©

Enjoy!

For a big list of symbols you can now easily output, go here:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp

Look at the Entity Name column. And remember, just remove the & and the ; to use the code.

Some notable codes:
eacute : é
mdash : —
copy : ©
reg : ®
frac14 : ¼
frac12 : ½
frac34 : ¾
cent : ¢

  New SMYN Home Site

Along with the domain upgrade, there is now a new-and-improved home page for Show Me Your News! The domain no longer redirects straight to the Wordpress podcast feed.

http://www.showmeyournews.com/

Let us know what you think of the new layout! Share the URL with fellow SMYN fans! Introduce new people to the show!

  The big move... (COMPLETED)

The time has come. I will be moving the forum over to the new domain. If the forum suddenly disappears randomly, you'll know I'm working on it. I will also try to have automated redirects from the old web addresses to the new ones. Hopefully, that will capture all the stray sheep.

Bookmark this (even though it's not up yet):
http://www.showmeyournews.com/forum/

UPDATE -- Hopefully, you have been directed over to the new forum location. If there are any technical issues, please post them here!

TheCremator, known to some as Negi-Kun, has chosen to resign from his position as Moderator of the Show Me Your News! Forums. I will leave it up to him to decide whether he wants to make his reasons public.

At this point in time, there are no plans to replace him.
