[Site] Maintenance 5-7-2012
Hi guys,
firstly, just a warning, the site will be undergoing maintenance for the next few hours (changes will happen live), please just bear in mind that certain things could behave weirdly (or break) as I change things, and not all changes will happen immediately. I will keep this post up to date with the changes as I make them.
<b>Complete:</b>
<ul>
<li>Adjust front page view (allowed the page to show everything with less scrolling, replace the javascript twitter widget with a custom written widget)</li>
<li>Added "hearting" to posts</li>
<li>Swap rich text editing with BBCode markup</li>
<li>Enabled Quotes</li>
</ul>
Let me know if there are any problems with these updates in this thread.
<em>Note: there will be an editor for BBCode once I fix the plugin, also old posts will require you to fiddle with the horrible HTML if you edit them, sorry</em>

(I'm posting this here just, because my current concern is that there should be a good place to find, and reference, BBCode.)
Huge thanks edg3!
Best place to put a BBcode tut link is right by the text field itself.
Edit: yes they are currently broken my side at least. its giving me the code
<blockquote class="UserQuote"><div class="QuoteAuthor"><a href="/profile" rel="nofollow"></a> said:</div><div class="QuoteText"><p>Maintenance complete.</p></div></blockquote>
Edit: I swear, everything was working fine when I logged off and it all showed fine (it even shows perfectly in the preview), then somewhere in between something shat a brick. After my work for today can fix it.
Also... I see the BBCode came with smileys. :) If you want the Pixofile ones, you're welcome to. It's been years, but I still think they're really good. ^_^
Also, added a BBCode Guide link to posting boxes and the FAQ page.
@Elyaradine these images were standard with the BBCode plugin, but they arent entirely consistent, so the pixofile ones would work great!
Edit: Added a background to quotes, it makes them more readable.
Don't know if it's something you can control, but if I edit a post, I lose any <3's that I've been given. That makes me sad. :P
Also under the profile there is a hearted tab. It currently shows my posts that have been hearted, any chance there is a way that I can find posts that I have hearted? (If possible keeping them in two lists would be cool.)
This topic will be sunk tomorrow some time (no longer announced), I am sure people have seen the changes by now.
Edit: Sorted.
