PSA: When using bbcode inside of a code tag, be sure to use code=rich to format it correctly.

Hide BBCode implemented for VIP, Developers and Legends (it'll be expanded to other groups in a limited capacity in the future). This only applies to new threads created.

Scenario: John Smith down the road has come up with an epic release for the MMO plus section but he dislikes people using his creation and not showing appreciation.

John uses the appropriate tag for his download link. Bingo. That noob now has to reply to the thread or hit that like button.

Codes: https://forum.ragezone.com/help/hide-bb-codes/

John became super famous on RZ and everyone liked his content.

Yay for John.
John doesn't exist.

I just want to express my gratitude to all of you on the forum. The feedback has been amazing, constructive and useful. It means a lot to me when moral is high as I was skeptical on the response post migration, especially with the daunting task that was at hand. I appreciate the positivity.

Thank you,
MentaL.

I've compressed a lot of attachment images to save space. In total there was a 48% reduction overall. The A/B comparisons were indistinguishable.
