    You get the idea.

    Is this possible?

    Yes, but due to the nature of forum names is difficult to keep consistent.

    What do you mean?
    Names of forums changing and then having to re-name the url?

    I had another idea earlier, but then I forgot it.

    That's one thing, also there's strange characters in forum names, picking a uniform way of converting those would be necessary, and then there are categories with the same names as subforums.

    Had a similar problem on Discover Tramore. Example.. B&B. We fixed that problem, but came across another issue with the use of the Irish "fada" (Iv never done Irish so excuse me if thats the incorrect name!) which we havent really came across a fix yet.

    or even boards.ie/82 for feedback
    and /23 for webmaster forum
    and /7 for after hours....
    and /228 for the development forum

    ie. using the ID of that forum for it's URL

    it would save having to enter in the boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=** that i have to type in every day...

    Thats easier for the server to interpret, but just as meaningless as the current URLs for the users.

    www.boards.ie/tcd used to point to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=468 but it was switched off at some point in time. I think regi had it set it up originally.

    i think this would be very handy, especially for college forums.

    would be great seeing www.boards.ie/*insertcollegenamehere* etched/wrote on a desk in college.

    don't think anyone would etch this www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=473

    :D

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
