@Bakey here's a few tips you might not know...

Do a line that appears to both linkify and no linkify users...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
^
wrap that in a [ s] [/s] tag. (copy/paste, must be the exact same length) Character limit can be an issue but it works for all.

it will appear as ----------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^and will look like this for linkify users


­­

­­
­­There is this font (I call Rowley's Font) that uses [f 0] text here [/f 0]­­
­­

­­

^
Wrapping a colour tag around bubble tags will colour the border and text. What I did here is wrap a blue colour tag around bubble and white colour tag around the text

wrapping a center tag around a bubble tag does this...
[c ][ bub]    [/b ub][ /c]
­­­­Squashed bubble!­­­­

center tag inside bubble...
[b ub][ c][ /c][/ bub]
­­­­Full width bubble!­­­­
Not sure how this useful this one is. By typing this [s ]--[ /s]
--
you get this^

­­If some tags are getting broken by the censor below are some replacement tags that wont get censored...

[c enter][/c enter]
[b ubble][/b ubble]
[fo nt_big][/f ont_big]

These add quite a bit to character limit­­


As for backgrounds there is nothing for that. Maybe one day.

Wow I just checked out your thread it looks amazing. Great stuff! :)


I'll try and make a poll right now and see how it goes.

Edit poll worked, so not sure where the problem was but its okay now. See here

I think the HLF Polls are broken. I made a thread a little while ago and tried to use the HLF poll system but I had to swap back over to a strawpoll because it wouldn't work.

Likely to do with form validation I haven't finished, I should probably look into fixing that and making other improvements

E: And making a thread for it >.<

Oooh wow. Thanks Indy, I'll see if I can add some of those to the thread too. ^_^

@ Blasty, the issue I'm getting is that when I click to create the poll it freezes like this:

I imagine this would be a huge job, but I think it would be nice if Linkify could create a page with like an overview of the threads you posted on. Kinda like the "my profile" page, but then in a way that you can quickly see if someone replied after you. Would something like that be possible? You will never get anything for free. Anyone claiming that is trying to scam, lure or hijack you.

Possible in some ways, yes. But there are some things preventing me from doing this.

- It would require lots thread scanning. In theory every thread you posted on would have to be scanned for changes.

- Determining if a reply is directed at you is the other thing I cant do. Sure I can see if the number of posts has increased, but who those posts are directed at is something I cant be sure of.

- Storage, all this data has to be stored somewhere and that place is your local storage. For the average user this isn't an issue, but every thread you posted on would have to have the number of posts saved along with something that identifies the thread (qfc). I have limited space to work with and this is something I need to be careful with.

There may be some other little things too but those are my main issues.

But...

There may be something I can do. This just off the top of my head...

Perhaps a watch list of 5 chosen threads. The list could be refreshed by the user and would display the increase in posts (if any). I could also display the location of the thread, for example: thread X has 0 new posts and is on page 49 (about to be eaten).

Something along those lines I'd like to do and is definitely possible.

I have also recently found that player profiles are viewed a lot more than I expect by linkify users. Over 1100 profile views (either looking at own or someone else's) yesterday by linkify users alone. This has shown me it's an area I really need to focus on and improve. Your suggestion fits in well with that.

Edit: sorry for the long reply.
