Nice to see that signatures don't take up extra vertical space, like it does on EF

You will see what I mean when you reply to this thread again

Now, I wish Id read this some ten minutes ago, I may have saved my head from headbutting the desk

GamersHQ has a very cool feature that allows members to paste all sorts of URLs into a post, which are automatically parsed by the forum software to display the media.

A basic example is a YouTube Link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg

which will automatically display this:


The parsing also works with popular internet sites like:

You can give reputation to other members, the button is just located in a different place:

GamersHQ features a system of peer review known as reputation. This allows members of the community to express approval or disapproval for the behavior, contributions and general conduct of fellow members.

To give reputation to another member, click on the scale icon in the member info area next to a post:



A small popup window will appear allowing you the option to give positive or negative reputation to that member, along with a comment.

Reputation levels are displayed just below a member's avatar and/or username, represented by neon colored pips:



As your reputation increases, so does the number and color of the pips. At very high reputation levels, a star is displayed, and the pip counter begins again.

Recent reputation comments you have received from other members are displayed in your User Control Panel page:

• Green Pip: Positive reputation
• Red Pip: Negative reputation
• Blue Pip: User's reputation level is too low to affect your level

To avoid abuse, there is a limit on how many members to whom you may give reputation in one day, and how far you must "spread" reputation before awarding the same member twice.
