Ahh yeah the bullet closing thing is annoying. For numbered lists, replace </list> with </list:o> for bullets replace it with </list:u> except with square brackets obviously
Then if you use an ordered list you might have to disable smilies too or the :o will be replaced with

changable fonts?

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.

I don't think adding fonts is a good idea. It might make things look messy, and it's kind of useless, though cool...

Random Pictures sometimes shows twice the same picture - can you change that?

It would be nice to be able to quote more than one post at a time.

Pictures are fixed indeed, and spoiler tag is a good idea

EDIT: when I click the Spoiler tag in the quote box, it opens in the original post. While funny, I don't think that's meant to be

Sorry if I give you too much work, but you're doing great.

EDIT II: It seems to have fixed itself... Strange, I'm going to double-post for research purpose.

EDIT III: So far, it seems the bug only 'works' if you didn't edit your post. Editing and saving fixes it.

EDIT IV: Refreshing after editing the post re-activates the bug.

lol Eagle. yeah there is only allowed to be one spoiler box per topic right now. That includes in other posts / inside quotes. It's a simple bug, just tedious to fix.

I wouldn't be surprised if he only ever used the link to the newest post in a topic rather than trying to go to the first unread post in a topic. It would explain a lot.

Anyway, we have need of a code tag. First of all, it's impossible to 'draw' correctly with ASCII without it or a monospaced font like Courier as hopefully will get noticed when people give my depiction of two different swords a scan. Secondly, it could be helpful in the Programming forum because spacing can be not only important to keep straight what block of text does what, but also because certain languages *require* you follow some spacing rules in order for text to function.

*cough* Somagu has informed me we *do* have a code tag. However, it isn't graphically represented so I humbly suggest that get fixed.
