Re: Youtube Embedding

P.P.S. Wow I didn't even know you could track a post's editing history! Freaky!

How do you do this?

Edit: nevermind, I just saw an edited post.

Any chance of LaTeX rendering? It would help out infinitely in the math forums.

I am working on this - it has been requested by a number of people.

 

[Lazarus]

As a temporary measure until I have time to setup a proper LaTeX interface, you can use the [ maths ] tag (without spaces).

For example:

[ maths ]\int_{1}^{2} x^{2} - 1[ /maths ]

produces:

[maths]\int_{1}^{2} x^{2} - 1[/maths]

In the meantime you can use this equation editor to figure out how to write your equations in code form.

 

[Dumsum]

[maths]\text{Let } x\in\mathbb{R}.[/maths]

Hawt. Nice work Mr Lazurus!

 

[AsyLum]

Any way to add a date restriction on the similar threads list generated? So people don't resurrect 5 year old threads?

 

[David Spade]

But the 5 year old threads are the best.

Reminiscent of BOS at its peak.

Edit: LOL at the thread in question. Andrew Quah was partner in a web design company? Haha.

 

[enthused]

Thanks very much for this.

Will try to fix tonight.

woo yeah, it's fixed

It's good that we're able to now right click, copy and paste in the reply box.

There is no point in keeping a database of six years worth of threads if we want to hide them away from people - there's a lot of useful information buried within those threads.

Perhaps a better solution might be to find a way to automatically close really old threads?

There are sometimes genuine reasons for resurrecting a thread though...

Yeah that might be a better solution, but I see the last point may be troublesome for certain sections which are genuinely still on track.

edit: Perhaps you could make a game out of it, it would take away some rep to access these older files, kinda like a user pays system! *chuckle*

OMG the LaTeX interface would be awesome! I've only just started familiarising myself with the LaTeX language so yeah...

 

[King.BBjames]

what happened last night?

 

[Lazarus]

What I thought was going to be a routine kernel upgrade ended up failing and then had to be fixed.

Very frustrating.

 

[Omie Jay]

did something else just happened?

 

[Lazarus]

Schroe - yes, I suppose here is as good a place as any.

The priority right now is server optimisation, but I am happy to consider features that are relatively quick and painless to implement.

 

[Minai]

So where are them Goldmembers....

 

[Tulipa]

So where are them Goldmembers....

Their absence is all your doing isn't it?

*sigh*

Petty Minai, very petty.

 

[kevinx2]

Any chance of stickied thread being more 'noticable' for all the little bos nooblings?
