we decided to simplify things a bit, the old "forums" section of the site was a bit too 90's.

hope you guys enjoy the stripped back vibes :)

oh, also, if you're a fan of BBcode used in other forum software, you can use that in comments and posts, and if you're familiar with the formatting used by 37signals (basecamp, highrise, etc...) then you can use that too.

ok, so an update on all this:

  • You can now use the buttons provided to auto-generate BBcode
  • Some of the buttons have keyboard shortcuts to make life easier
  • You can not use Textile anymore
  • URLs will turn themselves into links automagically
  • The BBcode we use is not the original BBcode, it has been reinterpreted slightly
