** Spell Check **

We have added a spell check button for everyone to use when posting. Well mainly for me! :rolleye0018:

When posting just click on the abc button http://www.minnesotascenariopaintball.com/forum/images/editor/spelling.gif in the upper right corner.
The first time you may have to load a program for it to work. :character00128:

Now I just have to remember to use it.

** Video Posting Made Easy **

I am still working out a number of bugs with our video code.

This is a list of all the video formats that should work.

You should just have to post the URL and it should automatically embed the video. Youtube works the best and most of the Google video links work. I know that Myspace video still are not working but I am working on that.

YouTube
Google
MySpace
MetaCafe
Yahoo
Koreus
Sapo
LiveLeak
GameTrailers
StreetFire
VEOH
MyVideo
GameSpot
Stage6
SevenLoad
Izlesene
Vidiac
Vidmax
Redtube
Onsmash
GodTube
PhotoBucket
BrightCove
YouKu
LiveVideo
Break

With Youtube do not use the embed link, it will not work.

Youtube test with url link only

** Calendar Event sign up. **

When someone posts an event on the calendar they can allow people to sign up/RSVP (yes, No or Maybe) and leave a short message.

A list of members that have sign up for the event is listed at the bottom of the event. Plus when you look at a members profile you can see a list of all the events a member has signed up for.
