Forum Updated: WYSIWYG, Easier Video Embedding, and More
« on: August 10, 2008, 02:07:48 PM »
I thought it was about time to update the forum today, and so that is what I set out to do. We are now running on the latest version of Simple Machines Forum (currently a Beta), and it has some really nice features. One of the features I'm sure you'll love is the WYSIWYG editor. It's almost like having a live preview as you create your post!

Secondly, posting videos is now a ton easier. All you have to do in your post is insert a copy of the video's URL from your browser's address bar, and the forum software will recognize it and insert the corresponding embed code for you. This works for a 130+ video sites including YouTube, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, Viddler, and Vimeo! So the next time you want to post a video try inserting just the video's URL in your post where you'd like it displayed.

Lastly, image uploading is back! AllYouCanUpload.com has been down for a little while now, and so our image uploader now uses TinyPic.com as the hosting service. You'll find the image uploader option on the page where you post replies (not a quick reply) or start a topic, just like before

The upgrade took me a few hours today, but I think I've gotten all of the kinks worked out. If you see anything weird just let me know.

The only thing I see that I do not like is that there is no active link to get back to the blog.  Before the upgrade, all that had to be done was click on the CyberNet image.

Fixed... Thanks for reminding me about that.

Of course it works for you, that's because I just fixed it like a minute ago.  ::)
