Requests for additional BBC codes

Well, I have no idea where else for this, so...

Admins, could you please enable codes for superscripts, subscripts and spoilers. I understand that it is a fairly straightforward task on the PHPbb software. Of course if all this is enabled, please point me to a how to use.

I'm talking about <sup>"item"</sup>, <sub>"item"</sub> and of course <spoiler> "item"</spoiler> or the equivalents with brackets [,].

Thanks

-Red

my ITS banner.

No matter if I type IMG or img, it tells me that I can't use that BBCode.

Are you trying to use it in a signature? That has different restrictions at the moment.

(The voting is rather split on whether people find signature banners interesting or irritating).

Yes, as a signature. I like how the Infinity forum handles it where we can choose to ignore signatures or view them at our discretion.

Hopefully that will be changed. People coming here to this forum from the Infinity forum probably hope that it will be a similar experience.

I am one of them. I need strike-throughs to make bad jokes where I pretend to type the wrong thing and then correct myself.

I believe we're waiting on a poll to determine the community response to that.

After my experience on the official forums, I'm quite strongly opposed to images in sigs. But don't want to turn sigs off because they often include useful links. There are a number of people who seem to share my views on this, and others who feel that size restricted banners should be allowed.
