Hello guys,
First of all I am thoroughly excited to join TTU and get involved in this scrimteam.
Just a quick note, there have been multiple additions to the ranks in the forums and the according people (CHECKED BY ROSTER) will get their rank.
TTU ELITE - This is a special rank that just allows more forum abilities and is same as a TTU Leader (but with Vad3r's permission of some forum specific abilities)
The go-stats had to be removed for now until I find a way of them not stuffing up the forums.
Basically this thread is going to be similar to the one at the G!X forums about forum coding, skins and so on.
So please check here often to learn about updates...
SO HERE THEY ARE:
ALERT TO ALL TTU REGISTERED MEMBERS ON FORUMS
Please go to your profiles and you will find two new inputs near where you put your avatar images. This new area is labeled Inactive and Inactivity Reason, which as I said before is in place of the 'Set my Status to Away' code used before.
Can all members please set that to 'NO' even though it may say 'NO' right now it will not begin to appear under your mini-profile (that is the profile next to every one of your posts on the left with your avatar, karma, like mine if you notice it says Inactive:No below Karma)
If you are INACTIVE USE THOSE 2 AREAS PLEASE NO LONG ESSAYS SHORT SHARP REASONS GIVE LONG RESPONSES IN YOUR RESPECTIVE COLOR BASES IF YOU WISH OR TO SENIOR COLOR MEMBERS.
More will come...
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY HERE DO THAT IN THE COMMENTS PAGE THIS PAGE IS UPDATED OFTEN SO IF IT BECOMES CROWDED PEOPLE MISS IMPORTANT UPDATES!!

SO HERE THEY ARE:
- Firstly, you will have noticed a character's left code whenever you create or reply to a thread.
- In Member Profiles a NEW OPTION IS NOW IMPLEMENTED.
It is about inactivity. It has a checkbox to indicate if you are away and also a small reason area. THIS INFORMATION IS VISIBLE TO MEMBERS BELOW YOUR KARMA IN THE MINI PROFILE SECTION - As you may notice there is also a button called 'fork' next to 'quote' in every post. This is a new method for creating a thread on the basis of a post in another thread without disrupting the original thread. Try it out when you want but make SURE TO DELETE the TEST thread IF you MAKE ONE.
- Guests will be prompted with a one-time pop up just saying nice stuff.
- A new feature in member's 'Modify Profile' is available. To edit their custom skin, you need to the modify profile page. There is a much needed new color picker which will make picking colors easy. To apply your custom skin, you can click on the link on their profile page. To reload the board default skin, you can click on the link on the profile page.
The custom skin information is stored in the signature field so to use it you must enable signatures. The current custom skin is stored in the user's cookie. So if you delete your cookies or use a different computer, you will have to re-apply their custom skin. - A random password generator for those who fancy it is now available in everyone's profiles.
First select a strength from the drop down, then press Generate. Keep generating until your comfortable with what you see. Click your password in the input box. A message will now appear; don't forget to read it before clicking Ok.
Passwords are generated in alphanumerical, special, and ASCII characters; all of which are compatible characters to use as a ProBoards password. I advise you allow the browser to store this password since they are really RANDOM!! - Quick reply has been changed to really implement a full message without certain check boxes such as lock, stick and the like. Smileys and UBBC coding now usable easily through the settings in the new Quick reply section.
- All posts now have an inbuilt Imageshack uploader
- All posts now have an inbuilt UBBC tag for youtube videos if you want to give shortcuts to them.
What you need to add is the following:
dFitQLCL9vI
dFitQLCL9vI is the ID of the YouTube video. You can find the ID in the URL of a video. Look at this URL for an example.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFitQLCL9vI - The File Uploader
This allows people to attach files to their posts, saving them from uploading them somewhere else.
This allows you to upload any of the following file types:
*.bmp, *.gif, *.png, *.jpg, *.zip and *.rar.
There is a max file size limit of 1mb.
Files can be flagged as dangerous or inappropriate.
Preview
Inactive Downloads
Files that haven't been downloaded in 20 days will be deleted, to save space for more uploads.
This code may cause the PM menu and things below the menu buttons to disappear, just click BACK on your browser, this does not stuff anything up though. - A new ubbc button is added on the post page and users can use that to align their images. The options are left, center and right.
- This code will add this button or the image of your choosing to the standard ProBoards UBBC buttons. What this new button does is add an expiration date to whatever text you have selected. You choose the date and after that date, the text within the expiration tags will no longer be displayed and will be replaced with whatever text you specify in the code. Edit where indicated in the Global Footer.
- The 'Questions and Problems' board has a resolved/unresolved button to help in organization.
People who are moderators of it, go to the very first post of the thread and click the 'resolved' button or 'unresolved' button if a previous resolved issue is needed to be brought back.
