General Discussion Thread
« on: September 01, 2014, 03:03:40 PM »
A place to talk about anything and everything. 
Topics that get a lot of attention should probably get their own threads, but this is the place where you can talk about your day, your kids, your parents, your pets, your car, your country, or whatever else you can think of!

This summer we didn't have any Sun in the north. Which sucks. I came on the south to enjoy at least a little summer...

... this week it rains every day.

On the plus side, people here are much, much friendlier than in the north.

At least your house will be vampire-repellent for a few days.

Well, rain can be nice sometimes.  It's my favorite weather, so I'm a little biased though.

I love rain, it's my favorite weather. Still, I love swimming even more than I love rain, and I'll probably get a cold if I swim when it rains. DX

Hm, I live pretty far in the south, so I've gone swimming during rain before, and it's actually pretty cool.  It feels very different, cause all the water is moving around you on the surface from all the ripples that the rain makes.

That actually sounds very cool... maybe I can even try it...

As long as you don't live somewhere too cold, go for it.

For me, it's above the signature option.  It might be an admin/mod thing only... I'm not sure.
Also, is my avatar visible?  I put up a gif.  It shows up and animates for me, but I wanna know if it works properly across the interwebs or not.

Probably yes, because I don't see it either.

Yes, it does! I'll try and do the same with my avatar... once it's morning and I'm awake, anyway.

Ok, well at least we know that now.  Maybe try titling using the text below the avatar?  I'll see If I can set up titles or groups or something.
Yay, now everyone can see Chris Hadfield in all his musical, in-space glory!

SMF uses BBCode.  It's like html, but it uses square brackets, and has some different code here and there.  The "insert picture" button is below "Bold," and the "insert url" button is below "Italics."
Play around with the buttons above the text field, when making a post, to see each kind of code, and then click the "preview" button next to "post" to see its effect.

The family of markup is called "BBcode", and the SMF-specific list is here. (Found it somewhere in the online help, which is linked in the dark-ish menu bar close to the top of the pages.)
