We have a set of new UBB tags available for testing -- people note that as we're testing these, their functionality and looks might change at any time during the next 1-2 weeks, so please, don't adopt the habit to use them in all your messages -- and don't use these tags in your sig as of yet.

First of all, now tags will be rendered only if they are closed properly, so "open" [img] tags wont make the site look funny anymore.

The basic new tags are:

[ u ] for underline
[ s ] for strikethrough
[ pre ] or [ code ] for pasting something you wish to show in unformatted format, with fixed-width font

Furthermore, a new "experimental" tag is added:

[ myimg=(standard|thumb) ]image_id[ /myimg ] -- this will render either a standard or thumbnail -sized image from "my.afterdawn.com" images, using the ID of the image.

The improvements:

[ quote ] will now also include an option to add a nick of the person you're quoting: [ quote=dRD ]text here[ /quote ] (the =dRD part being the improvement)

[ url ]http://linkhere.example[ /url ] works as always, but now you can also have text labels for links, using them like this:

[ url=http://linkhere.example ]An example of a link[ /url ]

And one, weird, experimental case:

You can use color red now in your posts, by using

[ color=red ]the text here you want to have in red[ /color ]

No other colors are supported as of now and trying to use other colors wont render the tag at all :-)

Some examples:

This is strikethrough.

This is bold.

This is underlined.

This is italics.

This is in red.

This is A new type of link

This is pre-formatted text

And this is an example of the "myimg" using "thumb":
