Here's a new one:
Embedd a Hulu Video
Take the funky-looking code from the embedd tag from Hulu.com (looks like this: CgNZFeNGFBM-cXQxWaXtcg) and put it inbetween the following tags

Code: Select all

[hulu] [/hulu]

It will look like this

Code: Select all

[hulu]CgNZFeNGFBM-cXQxWaXtcg[/hulu]

Here's a full episode of Family Guy

How did I do this? It's complicated, but once you try it, you'll find it to be easy.

here's how

1] Goto Google Maps and set up your map.

2] Click 'Link to this page' on the top right of the mapand copy the upper link and paste it into your post.

Code: Select all

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=43.161898,-77.614245&spn=0.010158,0.019183&t=k&z=16

3] note the zoom level. in this case it's 16 ( /?ie=UTF8&ll=43.161898,-77.614245&spn=0.010158,0.019183&t=k&z=16)

4] Then remove everything from the link except the co-ordinates. ( //?ie=UTF8&ll=43.161898,-77.614245&spn=0.010158,0.019183&t=k&z=16 )

5] Now drag your mouse over the coordinates and hit the gmap= button to surround the coordinates with tags

Code: Select all

[gmap=]43.161898,-77.614245[/gmap]

6] now plug in your zoom level after the gmap=

Code: Select all

[gmap=16]43.161898,-77.614245[/gmap]

Using the tmap tag instead of the gmap tag will get you a terrain map.

I'm working on have a marker show at the GPS coordiantes.

Code: Select all

[tmap=14]42.728668,-76.687832[/tmap]

Just replace "nyfalls" with your Capture Rochester username

Here's an oldie, but goodie.

If you know someone that you think would be interested in a post on this board (like the funny pictures or video threads), click the mail icon in the upper right and send the page to them. It's a great way to spread the word about the site.

[Brenda]

Good idea, but with some of my friends I'd have to "filter" them first.

[Matt]

Want to play an MP3?
Just put the URL to an MP3 in the following TAGS:

Code: Select all

[mp3][/mp3]

like so

Code: Select all

[mp3]http://www.nyfalls.com/mp3/test.mp3[/mp3]

And you get this cool player

Is someone annoying you. Click on their name and then add them to you FOE list.
Foes are users which will be ignored by default. Posts by these users will not be fully visible. Personal messages from foes are still permitted. Please note that you cannot ignore moderators or administrators.

Sorry moderators, I'd prefer you not have any "foes" listed.

Friend'ing someone allows you to see if they are online/offline at a glance when you check the UCP (User Control Panel). And it makes it easier to select them individually or as a group when composing PMs.

Foe'ing someone is basically the ignore button. You won't see their posts in topics, although someone may quote them, in which case you'll see it. They will still be able to contact you through PM. If you ignore a Foe, yet they harasses you via PM, let the admins know and we'll handle it.

I don't know if anyone else is using Private Messaging or not (I know I do), but because I keep filling up my mailbox, I doubled the allowed messages to 220.

[Brenda]

That's either because you're way more popular than the rest of us, or because you don't keep it cleaned up!

[Winnie]

I use mine occassionally!

It's all the back-and-forth with Tim.
