Portal & Forum Updates/Support

[wii]

Is there a specific reason why you only post about the forum code/design instead of what's important here, which is MUSIC

I'm very well aware about new versions, other forum scripts and so on, but this one works just fine for us, and it still receives security updates, so there's no reason to change anything...and with Facebook taking over for so many forums, no need for me to spend time working on a new version/script, when this works so well

Outdated software and designs will turn people away, but if you insist that it "works for you", go ahead keep using it. Your loss.

I totally agree with @Wii it works fine for us,if you dont like it then you dont have to stay here.
If you stay here youre welcome to discuss Alphaville and other stuff

Is there someone trying to sell forum design services or products here?

[wii]

In over 18 years, no one (before now) has ever complained about this forum, the design or usability, if you want to sell me something, just write me a message via the message form, which also works

I have a suggestion, if technically possible: I keep forgetting how to embed the YT videos, could we modify the tooltip of the button from 'Wrap [YT] tags around selected text' to something like 'Syntax: [ yt ]video ID after the = sign[ /yt ]'?
(had to add extra spaces in the brackets, otherwise the code generates a YT frame).

Or learn how simple it is.....

I did use to know it but forgot, and believe it or not I had to look up one of my own ancient post to remember the technique... Some websites embed Youtube links automatically once the full URL is pasted -which is not technically possible here- hence my suggestion. Let's wait for Wii's input :)

[wii]

Hmmm, so you would like the option to be able to post the entire URL

Should be possible, I will check this

That would make it more simple for new users too. :)
