Recently Runboard increased the size of allowable "hosted CSS" for all boards. After thinking about it for about a week I decided to "un-pack" the CSS that had been scrunched together on some of the boards I own and/or have admin access to. Let me tell you, it is a real pleasure to be able to read the CSS now without using a sheet of paper pushed on the screen to make sure I don't miss a comma or semi-colon while coding a "live" board.

Many thanks to Thor for making the coding a much more pleasant experience by giving all of us a little room to spread out. *grin*

No I am not begging for viewer's.

I was looking to see what I could do to help Runboard this morning and it occured to me that while Runboard has added a "Link to this post" feature we had no free graphic image created for those that want to save space or decorate their links! Sooo... I created this image and have placed it with the images hosted by rbbt.net in this post.

Being able to post a blog entry is really cool and the new format created by Runboard is slick but it is missing the the ability to post comments about a blog which has been made which limits things a little bit... or does it? This blog is a test of an idea given to me by Mo. Since BB-Codes work in a blog let us try creating a "comments" link to one of the boards I admin and see how that works...

To start we create the topic for responses on the message board then copy the reply link url. In my test that url is: http://www.runboard.com/btimeandagain.f11.t447|pleasedo=followup

Now using a graphic image found on rbbt.net I create the reply link like so:

[url=http://www.runboard.com/btimeandagain.f11.t447|pleasedo=followup][img]http://www.rbbt.net/rb/comment.gif[/img][/url]

To see if this works click on the "comments" button below and see if a reply can be made...




Now this works but what if I want two options? IE:
A option to view the comments first by going to the message board the comments are on.
And a option to make replies directly (as in the above example).

Simple, we use two buttons found on the rbbt.net and code it like this:

[url=http://www.runboard.com/btimeandagain.f11.t447][img]http://www.rbbt.net/rb/comment-view.gif[/img][/url]

[url=http://www.runboard.com/btimeandagain.f11.t447|pleasedo=followup][img]http://www.rbbt.net/rb/comment-post.gif[/img][/url]

If you run the codes together then the "buttons" will appear side by side as I have it below...

Oh yes, if someone has a better set of "button" graphics than the ones currently on rbbt.net I will gladly replace the current set with yours.

A Very Happy Independence Day to all my friends in Texas.

Time to start getting ready for the 175th anniversary next year!

I just made a new banner for the RunSearch engine (the first with the new logo). Now to see about replacing the older banners with new ones.

Oh yeah, if a board has won the BotM award anytime in the last 3 years then that board is entitled to a banner on RunSearch. PM me for the details...
