I’d like to see more text formatting options: , , and , for instance. (The former will be particularly useful for discussing hardware to denote signals that are active low.)

YouTube video and Twitter tweet embedding would also be brilliant.

Yep, the YouTube option is sometimes very useful in a forum.

We can add custom BBCodes for you. _{For a start I have added sub}

^{You can also} use sup as well.

Finally you can use s for strike-through.

I would join request for Youtube and Spoiler tag.

It's much bigger chance that someone clicks""play" on embedded youtube video seeing some frame of it than he clicks some plain link. People are very lazy and impatiant nowadays

Also, Youtube should work now:

[youtube]https://youtu.be/gwBsbz4TRD0[/youtube]

Note you need to use the following format:

https://youtu.be/gwBsbz4TRD0

Then surround it in the [youtube] and [/youtube]

Please make sure that any Youtube content you publish is appropriate.

Spoiler though, will have to wait for another evening.

Sweet! Now I can drink some H₂O and calculate 8² while I’m at it.

Eagerly looking forward to your enabling overline. The CSS property for it is text-decoration: overline, but I’m sure you know that.

Hello [mention]Ast A. Moore[/mention]

Overline now works

Thanks for code snippet

Pure awesomeness, [mention]PeterJ[/mention]! Thank you!


Hey, [mention]1024MAK[/mention], how cool is that?

RESET
CLK
MREQ

For some of these BBCode features, you should be able to "switch on" the relevant buttons for them in the edit box. For example, buttons exist for strike, sub, super...

Very cool

Makes talking about logic level and Z80 control signals a lot easier

Alas, a bug has bitten.

When using the quote button and quoting a post that has the at @ symbol in followed by a user name, I get an annoying blue rectangle with said user name inside. Then when I press return after typing my text, it inserts a mention tag

This is while editing on an iPad mini. Have not tried on a PC yet.

That’s the reason I requested it.

Yep. I get this in Safari 11.0.1 on macOS 10.13.1 as well. Keeps following the cursor.

The mention facility is a third party extension. When I'm able to I will raise a bug report with the developers. Have you tried this on other browsers? I don't recall seeing this in Chrome, although I have only quoted a few times.

Have a guess at what has been installed this evening......

Spoiler

This extension has now been enabled

D’oh.

I'll bump this old topic.

Today I was trying to post a Youtube video starting from some chosen time

Youtube generates such link for me:

https://youtu.be/RNOy8PVPj3c?t=20s

But when I take it between [youtube] tags it doesnt display correctly. Without time it works all right

I'm away from my computer for a few days but I think we just use this.

If you can find any solutions that work with the stable release of phpbb then I'm happy to try them.
