    A new rule has been added to improve readability on the board by saving space with unnecessary quotes and large images and formatting.

    Please go read it: http://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?act=announce&id=2 The rule is divided into two parts.

    A new HIDE tag is created. It's the same thing as SPOILER, except you don't have to give a custom text for the button.

    Please promote the usage of the HIDE/SPOILER and the tag to everyone in an effort to make the board eaiser to read. Keep the forum clean!

    Here's how you use the HIDE/SPOILER tag:

    CODE
    [hide]TEXT/IMAGE/QUOTE TO HIDE[/hide]

    OR
    CODE
    [spoiler=Text of the hide button]TEXT/IMAGE/QUOTE TO HIDE[/spoiler]


    give you


    Spoiler:
    TEXT IMAGE QUOTE TO HIDE

    AND

    Spoiler:
    TEXT/IMAGE/QUOTE TO HIDE


    The hide/spoiler tag works virtually anywhere and with anything; you can even use it inside quotes to hide its content!

    Please use common sense when deciding what is too large to show directly and what is not.

    --------------------------------------

    Furthermore we have added a new BBCode called "TITLE". Use this as a convenient way to write a title inside your post. Of course, due to rule 11a, DO NOT use the title to enclose your whole post!!!.

    Example:

    CODE
    [title]My Trading List[/title]


    gives you

    My Trading List

    Feel free to test things out in the Test Zone.

    I only use the Darkness and really don't care about the others, but I assume that red text shows up okay on the other skins?

    I like the title tag idea though. thumb.gif

    I think so, here's the cool thing though, as long as you use the title tag, we can make modification to the bbcode and it will automatically apply to all existing instances of the tag smile.gif so we can modifiy later its not a problem

    If you see someone breaking the rules, simply the report feature of our board to notify us.

    Shouldn't it be "...simple use the report..."
