Forum re-organisation

[DAve]

Hi all.

Thanks to Sideshow's new website feature, the homepage now picks up the first few posts in the LAN accouncement forum. :)

This means we can't have anyone posting "boobies" and having it on the main page. For a reason that seems to be escaping me now, anyway. This means that only moderators (currently DAve, Bluepixie and Exuus) will be able to start threads on the LAN annoucements forum.

You will still be able to reply to threads on the LAN announcements forum.

A new "LAN chat" forum is here to replace all the banter that went on the annoucement forum. Please use this to chat away as before about issues concerning the lans.

Mods: since BBcode does not work on web-pages, can you use html code only in your posts please.

Thanks,
DAve

addendum: since the guns website complies to W3C recommendations, you will actually have to use xhtml, not html. Briefly:

dont use , <u>, or [b] tags. use [i] for emphasis and for strong emphasis.
To insert an image use http://URL

The ending ' />' is important! Thats space:slash:greater-than, not just a simple greater-than.

[/url] works fine.

The only other thing to worry about is you have to close tags in the correct order:

[url="here"]Link (URL)</p> is fine,

Link</p> (here) is not.

You are better marking paragraphs with

</p> tags, but you can use br if you want. Note that it's
, not just
.

You can use header tags if you want, but start at <h2> - don't use <h1>.

Post here or mail me if you have any problems.

EDIT: DAve? Why does the forum recognise html tags, but not html character codes?

I dunno. It's a mystery. I think it's got something to do with the phpbb code. It's not my fault, honest :D
