Shortcodes

Hello everyone! We now have Shortcodes for linking to a character's profile or a specific thread. They work in profile fields, posts, signatures, and private messages.

Linking a user can be done two ways. One is to put the name in square brackets, the other is to write user=### in square brackets, the numbers being their ID (found at the end of their profile link).
!! This is not the same as tagging. It's just an easy means to create a link to a profile.
Code:
[Name]
[user=###] (e.g. [user=3] for linking to Mauja)

Linking a thread is done by putting thread=### in square brackets. You can find the thread ID at the end of the showthread link. The formats the link with the thread title, like this: » Visions from a Past World

Code:
[thread=###] (e.g. [thread=459] to link to the thread I linked above)

In addition to this, we've added a new Staff page at the top. It might not remain in that exact position when we keep adding features, but for now, it'll sit there. :]

A long time ago on Isilme, there was a tradition of linking a song with each News post, so here we go:
Gorillaz - Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head
