Why is it when you are on the message board you have to press the links in the blue bar above to go to the other parts of the board and then go to the subcategories, but anywhere else on the site you can just hover over the link and the subcategories appear?
Good question!

Because the messageboard is PHP and not HTML I can't use the same template as the rest of the site, so whenever I want to change the links in the pulldown menus I have to manually edit them on the messageboard which is a huge pain in the butt. So I just got rid of them here altogether. Everywhere else you can either click the blue bar or use the pulldown menus. Smile

That guy has a lot of time on his hands. Looks good though. Hmm, his source code could be rewritten to add whatever tag we want.

You can type something, but then have a line going through it like it's being crossed out and you didn't want it there. It's nifty! Cool

Its actually possible to add your own buttons.

What that FAQ answers is that you can't through phpbb (i.e. through add-ons or through the admin controls). if you really want a button, you can sift through the php source code and add it. Recompile, modulate and upload. I did that once for a friend of mine.

It is, however, obinoxiously painful to do.
