Forum Moderators: open
What do you use it for? A link to Google, etc?

Also I would like to ask Brett to add more colors so that I could have each letter in my name in a different color. A rainbow would be nice ;)
- Many people are using it to put in links back to their favorite pages
- some are inserting content from their own site in an iframe.
- One person even has a full java applet scrolling a yahoo news feed across the screen.
- Moderators are using it to put in a link back to their home subforum.
It is a fairly powerful option really. The length of code you can put in there is limited, but you can certainly link back to your own site for more content from iframes, js inserts, ilayers, and other stuff I've not even considered yet.
There are 2 small programmable options not mentioned anywhere on the site. If you insert (forum) or (thread) in parens anywhere in the inserted content, those two codes will be replaced by the current forum and the current thread you are viewing. Some people are using that to create their own links to reset last read pointers and other on site links.
For example, if you'd put this in a link:
[webmasterworld.com...]
It would be replaced with each threads url as you viewed the thread. Mivox's current "code insert bottom" that ads a link at the bottom back to the index page for that forum and a reset last read pointers for the forum at the bottom:
