Code Blocks
As i've noticed not too many people know how to use them, there's a few ways to do code blocks
inline like this
inline `like this`
as a separate line, use 4 spaces then your code/syntax
like this
As a block of text with coloured highlighting
#!/usr/bin/python
print("heres some python")```python
#!/usr/bin/python
print("heres some python")
```
Plugins and Stuff
A Solutions Plugin
In some categories (Windows, and Linux for now) there is a solutions plugin enabled, allowing the topic owner to accept a post as a solution to their topic. Super useful for helpdesk/question-related topics.
We might expand this to other areas but think these two are the main places it is useful for.
All you need to do as the topic owner is select the check box for the post that had the solution.
Details Plugin
Updated recently, this allows you to create a compressed details view to hide a bunch of information with a title heading if you want.
[details=title to show]hidden details[/details]title to show
hidden details
Spoiler
You should already be familiar, we've had it a while

Patreon Plugin
You may notice a little tick beside some users avatars, this indicates they are patreon peeps. (its done via email, so if you don't see one but should that's why.)
Support for Tables
You can use tables within your posts using HTML syntax.
Example:
<table>
<tr>
<th>header</th>
<th>header</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>cell</td>
<td>cell</td>
</tr>
</table>Output:
| header | header |
|---|---|
| cell | cell |
