• Adding the [ancor] BBCode tag to let users use internal links on their own posts.

Specifics/Details:

• Metsfanmax wrote:Those tags are not phpBB defaults. But in the admin control panel it's straightforward to replace an [anchor] tag with an HTML <a> equivalent, which is probably how this was done in whatever thread you saw this done in. You would need to request to bigWham that he add this custom BBCode.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• This will let users be able to create links in their post to link to another place in the same post. This is idealistic for long posts, like the CC Newsletter, or other long posts that users / moderators would like to make. Creating a post that has links to different parts of the post, so someone reading would not have to scroll through the entire long post.

You're right, it was done this way. It is an easy thing to do. How would I go about with the request?

Suggestions is still the best place to gather support etc so admin can see its desired, and teamcc can guide it thru channels or put it into a guaranteed suggestion etc

ok... there is no use for this... why? nobody reads the newsletter, it is forced into our boxes (i had to make ron giggle)... and as far as long posts go, fruitcake and MrChangsha no longer post, so this is again, not necessary... can you please show me one instance in your 1,200 posts that you have made, how this change would have benefited the post or whatever? didn't think so... i think ron is right on this one... let's leave craigslist to the craiglisters and CC to the neglected remaining users that are being abused and neglected by ownership... the black jesus has spoken...-Jésus noir
