SGS International Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 A member on my forum suggested a new BBCode. Basically, if you want to write a quick message to a particular user in your post, instead of using a PM, if you need to give a personal comment to that user using these tags like this:<Post content goeth here> [user:4356]Could you possibly fix that downloads bug later?[/user] That's just the way that my member suggested, but I suppose it would be more logical to use the tag like [user=4356] than [user:4356]. I can see it being useful in situations like development, where you want a particular developer to fix a bug, rather than everyone seeing it.

krocheck Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I like this, although I question its usefulness ... what if you want to address multiple members? Besides the user BBCODE, while you're at it, might as well put in a group BBCODE as well. Same thing ... applies to groups.[group=6]This topic was just pushing my buttons[/group] Maybe even you want to address only the people on your buddy list[buddies]Coffee later?[/buddies] :D Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Two Kay Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I like this idea, especially the group message. But, if somebody doesnt have permission to view the "message", and they quote the post, they shouldnt be able to see the code/text that they dont have permission to view. Get it? :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGS International Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Obviously a user could only quote the public part of the post. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Certianly would have its uses. Having said that, you should be able to restrict who can use it in the ACP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGS International Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 It could be on a per-group basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Is HTML logic usable via the BB code editor, if so this is possible, although I dont think it is usable, will try :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
