do you like my original signature?!?!

It would be nice to have a whole large section about the 'UserCP' since not many people use it to its full extent. It's actually a helpful forum tool if you know how to use it!
If you don't feel up to it, I wouldn't mind writing it.

I'm not even aware of the power of the UserCP, so I'd love to see your contribution about it. :smile.gif:
The UserCP Introduction:
The UserCP is a greatly underestimated Forum Tool, that contains many powerful features to contribute to your forum browsing experience!
Overview Tab Front Page
This section shows you all the global announcements circling the board. Underneath that, it shows your activity information (Your Posting sections, date joined, etc.)
Manage Subscriptions
In this area you can Delete and View all the threads and forums you have subscribed to. To subscribe to a thread/topic, click the button at the bottom of the page that says either:
Subscribe Topic
OR
Subscribe Forum
You will now receive email notifications when a new post arrives in the subscribed topic/forum.
Manage Bookmarks
In this area you can Delete and View all the threads you have bookmarked. To bookmark a thread, click the button at the bottom of the page that says:

Spoiler tag here is very strange: standart spoiler tag on forums is Show/Hide.
You include some content into and i will be shown only on spoiler button click.
Is it possible to add here spoiler2 bbcode?
It would be best to PM a Forum Administrator (Anyone with a red or purple name), about that. Or you could make another thread on the forum, to discuss your idea.

What exactly do you mean by that? Wasn't the introduction in the first post of this thread enough for you?
I wouldn't even recommend using the forum attachment feature, there are much better alternatives you can use for files (http://drop.io/) and images (http://www.cubeupload.com/ or http://tinypic.com/). I really recommend these sites, they work great and aren't annoying (well for me they aren't; I use an ad-blocker).
I added the banner for this thread about the same time it was posted, and it's hosted on tinypic. Also, the attachment system seems to be buggy and very limited; I have nothing in my list of attachments and it says "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached." when I try to upload a 48kb image file, and zip/rar files are not an allowed file type to attach.
Oh, drop.io was great. That is bad news. :sad.gif:
Yeah, the current board attachment system doesn't allow you to upload anything for some reason n-n
I guess it was to limit the load on the servers pre-curse :3

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
I just discovered an undocumented feature of the forum. or at least one that this thread does not mention.
While using the post editor, the following shortcut keys are available -
Alt+b - bold
Alt+i - italic
Alt_u - underline
Alt+q - quote
Alt+c - code
Alt+l - list
Alt+o - ordered list
Alt+w - url
Alt+p - img
Alt+t - list item
Alt+k - save post
Alt+s - submit post
Dear criticsquid:
please also implement keys for preview post, text sizes, and simg. I propose the following:
change list item to Alt+x (or maybe Alt+8 because the * is on the 8 key)
set preview post to Alt+t (t is for test)
set text size codes to Alt+1 through Alt+5 (smallest to largest)
*claps*
and even though i thought i knew everything about minecarts tracks and redstone. i still learned something :smile.gif:
