I'm just getting a few kinks out, but you can find several new functions for your messages here: http://forums.aliensoup.com/misc.php?s=&action=bbcode Note: Several features require IE 4.x+, and may or may not work in the latest versions of Netscape. I have not been able to test that yet. Enjoy.
Kick ass!! They might get abused by some folk though! They probably won't, Soupers are generally mature from what I can see..
I wonder how many of these you can stick together, give me a minute to test something... [blur][align=center][updwn] Star Wars Episode 1 THE PHANTOM MENACE Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation or trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute. Hopeing to resolve the matter with a blockade of dealu battleships, the greedy trade federation has stopped all shipping to the planet of Naboo. While the congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, The Supreme Chancellor has discretely dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict... Don't sue me Mr. Lucas, I didn't mean it! [/updwn][/align][/blur] Yellow didn't suit the background Don't ask, I was bored. Now to see if it works!
[updwn] [shadow]Planet Earth[/shadow] [shadow]View of the Alien[/shadow] [blur]Once an Ancient Alien once said, Planet Earth is a productive planet. It might once be a power, we must stop them! The Alien's tryed to stop planet earth, but they shared technology with eachother instead. They were friend from then after.[/blur] The End [/updwn]
Alien, you must have that super galactic mind at work. Geesh! I have a hard time figuring out how to make new categories for members, let alone adding all these features you have here. Way to go! It's looking great and it's been WAY too long since I've been back for a visit. Uhh.... do you EVER stop upgrading?
You'll find that answer out in a couple days. ...and welcome back, it's good to see you around again for sure! Don't be a stranger!
Thanks! I'll be sure to visit often. Me own forum is in a slump and *sigh* one does get bored with posting to oneself. I just can't get over how many options you have here! Of course I've got a couple of great guys who handle most of the tech stuff... but they don't like me in the Control Panel for some reason? *evil grin* Do you like vBulletin better than what you were using before? I've been over to their forum for vBulletin owners - where they explain how to do things, but geesh... can't understand even a 1/3 of what they're talking about. Do you find it helps you? Where did you learn how to DO these things?
Hey. Just takes some practice, but you get the hang of it.. I'm no coder, and can do no more than manipulate existing code (on rare occasion even)! Alot of hack releases are exceptionally well documented, so I've been very impressed with that. I've found considerable help on vB's support forums. As for if I find vB better, I like both products and still continue to use both for different projects. I own both licenses. I found for Alien Soup, that vB works especially well. I look forward to seeing you around more! I wish I could be of more help on your end, it's not easy keeping traffic up without advertising. We're 18 months into this with purely word of mouth lol... I'm hoping to push that further once the rest of this website is released.
