For people who haven't noticed yet, some of the codes to get special text effects and stuff in their messages have changed with software upgrade.

For example, for a smile, you used to type "[ smile ]" but now a simple emoticon " : )" is used instead.

Of course it is easier just to click the "Graemlins" or code inserters below the post box, but for those in the habit of just typing in the codes, you'll have to get used to the new codes.

Also notibly the codes to get color text has changed, for red text for example, instead of [ red ] , [ /red ] you now use [ color:red ] , [ /color ]

People with color in their signature lines will have to make that change in their profile.

One last thing: in the old software, you could use both the forum software codes (UBBCode) or true HTML in your posts. Now to use HTML you will have to change the item in the list right above the post box... where it says "Make post" and "using UBBCode" is entered... if you want to use html you will have to change that to "using HTML" or "using HTML or UBBCode". Otherwise HTML will be ignored and will post just as you typed it.

He moves swiftly and silently... Doc changed the default here to allow both HTML and UBBCode, so you don't have to change anything unless you want to specifically exclude codes from your post.

Don't anyone get confused by this... if you are used to just posting simply you don't have to change anything that you are doing, and in fact adding smilies and color and other things is even easier now with the buttons directly below the post box if you want to try them out...
