The BBS FAQ has been updated to reflect a few new UBBCode changes. Right now, only the english version has been changed, I'll try to translate the other popular languages here shortly. New quote styles are the main addition, and blockquote tags.

Sweet! Now I don't have to type in [orange][i] ... [/i][/orange] every time I want to quote someone!

Now can we just get an auto-quote button that pastes in the previous user's text? Which we will ,of course, edit down for brevity...

That will come with the upgrade to 6.2. I'm skipping 6.0 and 6.1 due to some annoyning new features that didn't have an off switch. Hopefully 6.2 will be running this board in the next month or so.

Tom, there's a typo in the FAQ for quoting the fourth person. It uses the [q1][/q1] tag again.

How long before people get lazy...
Oh, folks will get lazy right away. I think auto-quotes should be off by default, and people should have to jump through hoops to turn it on. Let's hope the new code lets us do that.

One thing I hate about other BBS's is lots of useless replies which quote huge sections of the original text. It's like Usenet all over again. Ick.

Not my style, but I'll get used to the convenience. Now all we need is a sarcastic smiley and I'll be all set.

Bah, we should have the ability to vote away other people's ability to use the feature
