Site Features
Hello my friends! And welcome to the feature list, where I brag about all the automagic features I can. I'm going to be keeping the list of active features on this page for those that want a quick list, or examples of how to use them. For development suggestions, bug reports, etc, please use this thread.
Wowhead Integration!
Activated Saturday, January 13th, 2009
Welcome to wowhead fun! Any link to an item, quest, etc at wowhead.com will bring up it's tooltip on our site. We've also added a filter, so you don't even have to look the item up! Just use [item] tagging! All you have to do is surround the exact name of the item with these tags: [item][/item] and our site will link it for you! All the links generated this way will open in a new tab or window.
For an example: Dulled Shiv inside of [item][/item] tags becomes Dulled Shiv. And Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker becomes Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. And A'dal's Gift becomes A'dal's Gift.
Wowhead doesn't support [quest] or [achievement] tagging (yet!) so for now, continue to give exact links to them Momma Said Knock You Out.
Quotes! Chain Quotes even!
Activated Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
Do it. Make yourself a chain of comments into a glorious pyramid. Just click "quote."
Smilies
Activated Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
The text smilies you put in will get converted for you. The full list of smilies can be found here.
But just for fun...
Make sure to put a space between them!
Instant Comment Previews
Activated Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
Everyone has access to an instant preview of how your post will look. Just type in the content, and stop typing for 3 seconds, or click out of the box. You'll get a view right below what you're working on.
FCK Editor
Activated Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
Members & Veterans can access a full text editor that feels more like a word processor, but gives full HTML posts! It also lets you upload and link to files on the server. If you prefer the regular style of posting, you can click the link labeled "Switch to plain text editor." It'll give you back your old editor, and restart the instant comment previews. Best of all, you can swap back and forth halfway through. It'll keep your work.
You can set defaults for it, like disabling toolbars, changing the look, or turning the whole thing off forever in your account. Click "My Account" at the top left. Choose "Edit" and scroll down. Click to expand "Rich Text Editor settings."
Anti Spam Captcha
Activated Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
This is in here for new registrations for the most part to keep bad registrations out and your users names free. But, if we want, we can allow for visitors to toss comments on our public forum.
Signatures
Activated Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
Now you can sign every post, with most anything. To set your signature, click the "My Account" link at the top left. When you update your signature, it will update for every post in the system for you.
Private Messages
Activated Thursday, February 5th, 2009
See that thing that says "Messages" at the top of your user links? That's your new private message center. You can send, read, and block people as you like. You'll need to use the name they are registered with on this site. So fix your names people! Character names, not real names! (Which can be fixed the the "My Account" section under "Edit." If there's interest, it can be tied to your email, sent to you as a text message, posted to a twitter account if you even have one. (If anyone actually wants that feature installed, send me a message).
Armory Views on user profiles
Activated Friday, March 6th, 2009
No work needed on your end, or mine! You will now be able to view anyone's armory right on their page, so long as they have entered their user name as their character name correctly.
