No showing off now! Though my example was a small one my intention is otherwise, 😉 . I always appreciate tips, though, I’m a bit of a hapless stumbler. But I already knew how to do that, what else you got? ---

I’m still learning myself, so it’s mostly remembering the cool stuff I see. This is fun {invisible post ink} {[COLOR = f8f8f8]invisible post ink[/ COLOR]} Which is almost completely useless, unless you get the, “The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 2 characters.” message. Then instead of putting “…” in my post I put this, {2HopefullyInvisibleCharacters} It’s really like the “Quote box=Link” trick, it just makes the post look better. Also lets ya add fnord to your posts [fnord](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fnord). The really cool thing I got is only good if your using Firefox, these two extensions [BBCode](https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Miscellaneous&numpg=10&id=128) and [BBCodeXtra](https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Miscellaneous&numpg=10&id=491), They add items to the context menu so you can insert vBCode/Html/XHtml code with out having to go to the advanced “Reply to Thread” screen. So if I cut text from a cite I can paste it directly into a quote box with just a right click. If you’ve got FF this is a must have [SpellBound](http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/index), spell checker for Firefox. CMC fnord ---
