These are Frisian flags. The OstFrisian (= East Frisian) people are told to be special.

A bus in East Frisian is one meter long and 40 meters wide because everybody wants to sit in front.

Maybe support for avatars through http://gravatar.com could be added? Avatars could be turned off in the control panel for those who dislike them.. Would make this forum look a bit more interesting?

How highlight this revision?
Not with red underlined text. I would suggest writing Edit: or Addendum: or something similar.
The idea is not to be able to piece together previous versions of the post verbatim, but to just to give the latest information, while maintaining a context for any subsequent posts, without being too intrusive.

There's a bug tag now that allows linking to the fbc bug tracker by just given the bug id:

Code: Select all

[bug]626[/bug]
[bug]3554189[/bug]
#626
#3554189

Neat :)
The ability to use old and new tracker IDs is an unexpected bonus.

According to fxm, wiki tags are behaving differently to url tags, e.g. [wiki=KeyPgInteger]KeyPgInteger[/wiki] is displaying differently from [url=www.freebasic.net/wiki/KeyPgInteger]KeyPgInteger[/url]. Can anyone comment on this? I've just checked Opera Mini and Ubuntu Firefox, and both look/behave the same to me.

In Chrome on a desktop machine the bottom link is underlined in blue.

Checking the page source (CTRL+U) in Firefox there is a slight difference:

Code: Select all

<a href="...">KeyPgInteger</a>
<a href="..." class="postlink">KeyPgInteger</a>

Ah, it looks like it's because of the Maxthon style. I tried in Chrome (without logging in) and discovered that [url]s get an olive green link underlined in sky blue, which turns dark blue and gets a pale blue background on mouseover. On the [wiki] url I got just an olive green link, which just underlined in olive green on mousover. (From the weird colours, I thought this was the broken one at first!)
In subsilver2, they both look the same - blue, no underlining, orange+underline on mouseover.

Anyway, the code for both is:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/KeyPgInteger">KeyPgInteger</a><br>
<a href="http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/KeyPgInteger" class="postlink">KeyPgInteger</a>
I can add class="postlink" to all the custom url tags. That would be best I think from a consistency point of view.
EDIT: Done.

Thanks.
This is well now.
The [url] and [wiki] links are identically displayed.
