weekender

can you guys plug in a button to insert the [ man ] [ /man ] vB code?

i have been writing a load of messages the last few days, and am sick to death of having to type it in every time i reference the php manual

cut-n-paste?

really though, i don't think jstarkey wants to hack the board anymore than he has to, since all will be a pain when we upgrade to the latest vB

I think the PHP button is standard on VB, atleast I have seen it on non-programing related boards running VB..

Huh? What does [ man ] do?

Oh I see...it would be a good idea, and hacking the board is fun, but yeah, there's no need to lazy...well I guess a [man] button would be cool, but it's a lot harder than you think because i guess you'd have to tinker around with the close current tag and close all tags buttons.

Having the button will definately increase popularity of the tag on this board.

I have re-enabled the announcement regarding this tag.

weekender, I did a quick upgrade on a board with 500,000+ members last week and forgot an important hack and it turned into a total cluster. The site that contained the hack and install instructions was gone., so there were quite a few unhappy people while I hacked it back in by comparing files.

I'll see what I can do, but if it's a hack that I can't just include in the header, I really have to avoid it.
