_NOPE_

Now I'm curious Hera if your character was deleted when you were finally able to get back in?

Emotions are running high, I can understand that. We've just gotten our City back, and it's frustrating that it's not EXACTLY as perfect as we remember, because it's no longer being hosted by a global multi-million dollar company. We should report the issues, but have patience with each other while we work through the new City's growing pains. My suggestion would be to just report your issues on the official thread for the matter.

Ah, well that's all I wanted to begin with! Also, can you fix the "word wrap" bug, where when you type over around 200 characters, the rest of the page disappears and you can't Preview or Post anymore? Oh, I get vetting things. Since it's a moot point anyways since the actual forum software is working again, here's the source code for anyone that wants to do anything with it. I just threw it together in a couple of hours while at work waiting for some processes to complete on my PC. So it's not the prettiest code, but it's functional: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cmzfj71nu4tzjb6/Homecoming%20BBCoder%20Source%20Code.zip?dl=0

Maybe I ticked someone off with my comments?

I haven't seen it yet, but I love the idea of a queue as well. WAY better than letting a server crash!

Yeah, I offered that as well myself, and they weren't biting. I think they want to keep things clost to the vest for now, which I understand considering the last server got wiped on a whim. That being said... UPDATE!!! As you can see in my modified OP, I've corrected ALL of the issues with the Preview window (took a bit of work, but it was worth it, I think!). So, let me know if you see any further bugs, or if you s ee any BBCodes that I'm missing somehow. I went poking around and testing, and it looks like this SMF board only uses a SMALL portion of all of the BBCodes that are out there for some reason, so I tri ed to include all of the ones I could find, though it's certainly possible that I missed some. Next things on my to-do list might be an undo-redo option. I'm not sure what else users might want in a BBCode editor...

Yes, they are.

Devouring Earth Giant Monsters, no contest. Made me feel truly epic when I fought them with a dozen other heroes. And when they strolled through King's Row randomly sometimes? My low level self crapped my pants.

No, it's in beta. But a beta mostly working forum is better than the forum we have now with spambots and a broken editor...

I just updated the tool to restrict its text limit to 20,000 characters - the same limit as the forum's limit per post, so that you don't have to "guess" anymore. If it fits inside this program's textbox, it'll fit inside a post!

They were up for a while this morning, now they are down again. It'd be nice if there'd be better communication about this...

There should be an option for "City of Heroes is my first and only MMO ever!"

Yeah, it looks like the editor is completely replaced in 2.1 (we're in 2.0 now): https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Differences_between_SMF_2.1_and_SMF_2.0 Also, there's a TON more spam protections in 2.1 and other great QoL stuff. Here's the pertinent items: [*]A new WYSIWYG editor SCEditor [*]Google Authenticator for two-factor logins [*]Improved spam defenses, registration will be blocked if a user tries to register too quickly and also inept bots can be tripped up by hidden form variables. [*]Anti spam Q&A should now be able to support multiple languages (different questions per language) as well as multiple answers per language Can we PRETTY PLEASE upgrade to 2.1???

Maybe you're thinking of the forum for the LAST private server?

As I was getting irritated with the forum's lack of a built in BBCode editor, and I was looking for a way to help serve the community, I figured I'd make just a basic one. So, here it is, the... CoH: Homecoming BBCoder! The tool offers the following BBCodes: Bold Italic Underline Strikethru Font Size Font Color Center Horizontal Rule Image - Link Code [move]Marquee[/move] [*]List [*]List [*]List Table, Table Row, and Table Header Plus, a special "Table Wizard" that will automatically create a table for you, using Tabs as column indicators and newlines/returns as row indicators (just highlight the text that you want to be Tablefied! The first button on the main toolstrip is just a Clear button and the last two are for a Preview window, and to copy all of the text from the main textbox to your clipboard. You can see the Preview button right next to the main program in action in the screenshot above. Something else that you should know about this program is that if you keep typing and typing and typing, after about 200 characters, a newline/return will be AUTOMATICALLY inserted for you. I've added this "feature", because I noticed that when you go over about 200 characters, the text box goes all the way to the right on the forums, and things start to break. Once the admins fix that problem, I' ll take away this "feature". I've also restricted the textbox to 20,000 characters total, which is the limit for one post on the Homecoming forums. Let me know if you see any bugs that I haven't already described above, or any additional features that you'd like. This is of course just an initial alpha version.

Obsidius, now THERE's a name that I haven't heard in forever. Welcome home, man.

Yup, that was even the case when the game was "live". If you got mapservered, you'd just have to keep trying to log in if you got that message until the system caught up to the fact that you weren't actually there.

They are actually built into most powers, etc. if you hover over them for a moment.

Absolutely, everyone that's helping in this process deserves ALL of the praise! But, there'd be less reason for rage, if there was some sort of process in place where we could request things that are commonly asked get stickied, so that we can point people to those locations rather than rehash the same information repeatedly.
