The code is a bit different now.

UBB code is no different then BB code.
I can not do bold or paste an image.
And I know both codes to do these things.

People were abusing them a bit when the boards first opened up again, sticking in pictures and colors, so Tom shut them down for a bit.

Thanks for the update. :P

I'm not going to make a sig image, I absolutely hate them. They make it much more difficult to skim through a topic. You have to use more brain power to decided what is real and what is not.

I need neither an avatar nor a sig pic to affirm my self-worth (on an unrelated note, I don't like any of the avatars).

I'm with Zortrium on this one. Z, you have my undying support in defending your stance.

I was testing your omniscience, but you failed me. You should've noted I was really referring to sig images.

GD: nice sig there, bud.

I'm not digging the new layout. And stuff. And I can't figure out how to edit posts.

I've also been robbed of about 3,500 posts.

I think I only lost about 50.

The reason I couldn't find the edit button is because it's way-the ###### over to the right, off the screen. And it stays off the screen, no matter how high my resolution is or how big I make the browser window.

EDIT: Hmm...it appears that, while it says I have only 4,167 posts, it remembers that I once had around 7,200. My profile says that 3,028 (42%) of my posts were made in the EVN board. And if you know your math, you can see that 3028 is certainly not 42% of 4,167. It is 42% of (about) 7,209.

I find that sig images neither make the page any longer nor do they disrupt any flow. I mean seriously. Its either a sig img or blank space.

[edit] this board is so slow [/edit] :P
