    I made a small upgrade, one that I forgot to do.

    If you can figure out what it is, what it does, and post a screen shot of it, I'll give you a $10 Amazon Gift Card for our 10 year anniversary. First one to post it gets it.

    If it's about that Tapatalk link that blocks my log in.... grrrrrrr....:mad:
    Plus, when I clicked the alert, I was logged out, then got "page not available" when I logged back in.
    Somehow, I don't think that was the upgrade.

    Sorry no screen shot, but I think it is the "Recent Threads" section on the main page it looks nice now, single line per entry.

    ooh, I like how it shows the usnername right below the post input box when you type the "@whoever" thing. Just typing "@wh" showed me all of the usernames that start with those character. Niiice.

    I was posting via TapaTalk, so I saw the code was different (shows user=user #, which it didn't do previously), but didn't see the hack in effect. Nice option though.

    you mean how does the coding work? or using it? Just do the @bar and it will pull up all the names like in the screenshot. Baraka_Guru see it now? It won't work in tapatalk... only the full browser.

    @bar

    Doesn't work. It pops up automagically? I'm in TFP Dark. Do I have to stop being so goth?

    ah ha, no wonder I didn't find it...I was in the dark.

    eh, I prefer the dark theme, doesn't hurt my eyes as much.
    speaking of which...can we have a similar one for the posting area? That white is BRIGHT.

    It shows up in TFP dark, and the posting area is dark... unless you mean another space.

    Okay, I know the problem now. It only works when you go to Preferences and check the option "Use the rich text editor to create and edit messages." Otherwise, the black text box doesn't stay black, it turns into a light tone.

    I can't remember why, but when we first launched XenForo, I unchecked it because of some annoyance. Maybe with copy and pasting text or something.

    EDIT:
    Hey, you can indent!​

    EDIT2:

    • they
    • fixed
    • bullets
    1. and
    2. numbers
    I can't believe I've been missing this stuff. O happy accident! Serendipitous!

    Sorry for not being clear...I meant the Posting Games area. (at least that's what I was talking about...which is a totally tangent topic)
