Video Button

TheDarkCube — Tue, 11 May 2010 21:46:54 GMT

And the video button? The video button does the same thing as the login/profile button, it lowers the video bar which is hidden behind the nav bar. These buttons are not working for me?

TheDarkCube — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:33:41 GMT

There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, 'TheDarkCube' has disabled private messaging for everyone, ...

BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page. Can I use HTML? NO, reason is to stop people ...
