I was just about to ask for Ctrl-I/B/U etc. shortcut keys for italic/bold/underline, but I just discovered that I can use Alt-Shift-<key> to do that. For example, Alt-Shift-B for bold.

Huh, I just tried Alt-Shift-S and it posted a reply instead of doing a strikeout.

Yeah, strikeout isn't a standard/common text modifier, so it's not linked to anything. Alt-shift-Y doesn't youtube things either.

Maybe the eplaya needs a *special* forum for threads that the mods intend to heavily edit by deleting relatively innocuous posts with virtually no explanation.

More specifically, I'd prefer that if org functionaries want to communicate in a very controlled and controlling fashion, they keep it on the main or blog-dot websites.

[ahem] That said, I would have deleted the entire rape thread because it seemed problematic wrt the TOS and legal implications from the very first post.

Can the Youtube tag support timestamps (e.g. the "#t=33s" in "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuQGfk9Gmgo#t=33s") so that for some videos we can have it jump to a specific point in the video?

Note how this does not work:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuQGfk9Gmgo#t=33s[/youtube]

It might even be better to just use a more universal video embedding plugin such as this (supports vimeo and other sites within a [video] tag):

Funny you should mention that, it's being tested now along with a couple others.

You know that thing link on the right of the screen, just above the listings of the sub-fora that reads "Mark Forums Read"? Can you make that read "Mark Fora Read". Because, I like irregular plurals, and wish for them to be maintained as much as possible.

Please

[trilobyte]

Sorry, no.

In the spirit of the 'new users guide to ePlaya', maybe a look at the email that goes out when people get upon first signing up.

The email could have a short call to action, a note on culture and some links.

No guarantees they would read it, but it is a teachable moment.
