The board seems to be loading kind of slow today.

It was after I posted the Top Ten. Maybe it couldn't handle that level of autism. It seems fine now.

In addition to the [youtube] tag, now there is also a [video] tag, which covers more sites than just YouTube.

The [video] tag supports the following media services (more are being added periodically by the author):
  • youtube.com (youtu.be) — playlists are also supported
  • vimeo.com
  • dailymotion.com
  • ustream.tv
  • webm, ogv and mp4 files via HTML5 <video>
With the [video] tag, you enter the whole URL of the video link, unlike the [youtube] tag where you have to pick out the 11-character ID#.

The [youtube] tag still functions, but it no longer appears in the options on the Post A Reply page. This way, previous posts that use it won't suddenly stop working.

Update on an arcade: Not gonna happen anytime soon.

There are several reasons: 1) There is only one developer currently maintaining the arcade plugin. 2) This developer now forces websites to run their arcades through a connection to his website, AND he charges for downloading games. 3) Games have always been Flash-based, and the internet is already in the process of abandoning Flash for HTML5. 4) This developer recently announced that he is currently no longer working on an HTML5 version of the arcade.

Sorry. phpBB3 sucks. But it's free.

Added "Activity in last 24 hours" to bottom of Index page.

Tried to add an enhanced Quick Reply box with style buttons but it wasn't working right. Supposedly there is an update coming soon.

Hi Eggs would it be possible to add keyboard shortcuts for the bold and italics tags (CTRL+B and CTRL+I) as TK had them and as it turns out I'm used to using them and now I have to type like a sucker.

Much as I would love to, phpBB3 don't play that way and so far I haven't found an extension to plug in.

Best thing to do is use the full reply editor and click the icons.

SORRY!

Quick Reply box is working, although there is still no way to use keyboard shortcuts for style tags like in vB.
