Oh, right – that is something a lot of new boards do. It looks a bit different on “vBulletin” look-alike boards, but it’s functionally the same.

Should be able to nest quotes a lot more easily. Some boards set limits on automatic nesting (though it can still be done manually).

EDIT: Erk – tags broke up top  
EDIT2: Fixed the tags!

URLitude is different if you wanna post linkies. vBulletin has you start a URL tag in square backets with equals sign then the URL, close the bracket, type the text you want underlined, then add a slash-URL square-bracket tag at the end.

[Google it baby](http://www.google.com)

The Discourse version is to put the text you want underlined in square brackets by itself, no quotes, then in parentheses right afterwards, the URL, by itself, no quotation marks.

Whoa, weird how new posts just appear without you having to refresh the screen.

I don’t care for the navigation so far but perhaps I will get used to it eventually.

There’s also a tutorial on site use. Pretty basic, but it helps on some items.

Can’t upload photos yet. ☹
