A few on things that this new version of the board lets us do, some new features, and some notes.
-- We have a very nice Member Map (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/index.php?action=googlemap) now, something that several people asked for on the old board.
-- The post editor is HTML-capable by default, very similar to the previous one.
-- You can upload images as well as link to them. Pictures do have a max size limit (800x800 I think).
-- You can pick your own smiley set in your Forum Profile
-- There's an open board where guests can post (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/index.php/board,4.0.html), no registration needed. We'll see how that works out, lol.
-- For obvious reasons, guests can't post links at this time.
-- You can post videos very easily- just paste in the URL to the video for any of the following sites:
Youtube
Youtube (Short Url)
Yahoo
Vimeo
College Humor
DailyMotion
Funnyordie.com
JibJab
LiveLeak
For example to post a Youtube video, just paste in the URL like this:
vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAp3Esp6gs0
If you post the URL above, you'll see this in the post:
vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAp3Esp6gs0
Here's a complete list of all the sites we can enable this for, but most of them aren't worth bother with.
