Two New Forum Features

I'm proud to announce a couple new features that have just been added to the Tampa Bay Anime forums. 

The first one is something a lot of people have asked for.  There is now a section at the top of each page that shows the date for the next TBA meeting.  It automatically updates itself, so it should always be accurate.  If we are going to skip a meeting date, then this will be updated so that it skips that date and reminds you why the date is being skipped.

The second feature is much more fun.  There is now a code that you can use to embed YouTube videos directly into your forum posts.  All you have to do is find that video's id, and then type it in surrounded by [youtube] and [/youtube].  To find a video's id, look at its url. Find the characters after the "v=". If there is an "&" after that, the code is everything between "v=" and "&". Otherwise, it's everything after "v=".

For example, if the url is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM8ODecbuhA, then the ID is "OM8ODecbuhA". If you want to embed that in your forum post, type in this:

[youtube]OM8ODecbuhA[/youtube]

When people read your post, they'll see this:

We're always looking and listening for new ideas, so let us know if you have anything you'd like to see added to the site or the forums.  Have fun!
