You'll notice that the Welcome Wagon has been expanded to feature a full-blown IRC client! Come chat with fellow SMYN fans (if anyone is awake in there). If you would like to use your own IRC client, just connect to irc.freenode.net and find the channel #smyn.

Enjoy!

  Sig Height Max = 250px
Posted by: TheBuzzSaw - 06-02-2010 02:50 PM - Replies (3)

Sorry. It was just too much. Signatures are a great place to put a piece of your personality, but considering the fact that they attach to all your posts, they need to be restrained. As of right now, signatures that exceed 250px (whether it contains images or text), it will be automatically clipped (unless you run garbage like Internet Explorer version 6).

Have a nice day!

  Spam-Blocker Activated!
Posted by: TheBuzzSaw - 05-26-2010 11:49 AM - Replies (33)

I installed the Akismet spam blocker plugin for MyBB.

If any of your posts are flagged as spam incorrectly, please let me know.

I am still working on the issue of bots registering in the first place, but at least the spam will never see the light of day... hopefully...

  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 : ¢
