This is a special thread I'm creating for sharing little things that don't necessarily require their own thread. FOR INSTANCE! Did you know that you can block out sections of your text when you post, so that people have to click to view it? It's very useful for including spoilers for either TV shows or your own stories so you don't have to hold back entirely from conversing about the show or story. People who DO know the spoiler can simply click to view! , or for hiding large splurgeposts which you really only posted because these are important notes that you wanted to remember, but which everyone else might not be interested in. In addition, You can nest these! To use it, place your text between the [ SPOILER ] and [ /SPOILER ] tags (remove spaces). Note, if anyone else has an interesting thing to share that is good to know, please post here!

If you have a large picture that's too large to properly be viewed in all its high-def glory, you can add a link to the picture so you just have to click on it by nesting the url and img tags with [ url=link ][ img]link[ /img][ /url] Such as You can also use the newfangled image tag thing to adjust the size, like I did with the above picture under the part with 'max-width:###' [ img src="http://content8.flixster.com/rtactor/42/50/42502_ori.jpg" style="max-width:25%;"]

This may be obvious to some, but if not...did you know that we have several skins available? If the default dark theme is not your cup of tea, click on the Profile option in the menu bar, click the Edit Profile button, then click the Settings tab. You'll see a dropdown with Dark Night selected by default. Select your choice, hit Save, and you're done!
Options:
1. Film - black on grey/white. Gray theme. 2. Heart of Darkness - grey on black with orange links. Very dark theme. 3. Dark Night - Dark blue and dark green tones with pops of coral and lime-ish green. Dark theme. 4. Planetary - purple/pink/yellow on a spacey background. Dark theme. 5. Vintage - shades of soft gold, green, and amber with a slight old-fashioned feel. Mid toned theme. 6. Frost - Previously a skin on NaNoPlotMo. Shades of icy blue. Light theme.

Did you know?
If you have anything you would like to see here on Steve -- a challenge idea, a particular topic of discussion, a thread, etc. -- do feel free to go ahead and create it. Of course, you can always ask one of the staff if you're not sure where to put it.

Quoting:
- If you want to quote multiple posts, click the dropdown button next to the gear, and select 'Select Post' for each post that you want to quote (this will persist between pages on a thread, but not between threads) and then hit the Reply button. All your selected posts will show up in quote tags.
- If you're typing up a reply, and you want to quote a post from the thread summary (the posts listed below the reply box), scroll down and hit the 'Quote' button. The post will be added in quotes to your reply.

The other day I added a 'Recent' button to the top menu just under the Steve banner. This links to the same place as the 'Recent Threads' link right down at the bottom of the page, but saves a whole lot of scrolling.
(I guess everyone probably already knows 'Recent Threads' isn't the same as 'New Participated'?)

As you'll have noticed, I'm playing around with the colors as a change for 2016. I'm open to opinions, as I've been in my own head for too long. Too light? Too dark? Too messy? In addition, there are new things! Mini profiles now have several custom fields you can use to link to your NaNo novel, link to a custom novel of your own, and post a cover as well. These will show up on your mini profile in all your posts. See mine to the left to see what it will look like. Descriptions: NaNoWriMo: If you paste in the link to your novel, it'll show up as a link called My NaNoWriMo Novel under My Links. Novel Link Name/Novel Link URL: Paste in the link to a custom novel page (or skip the NaNoWriMo entry and use these instead) into the Novel Link URL (just a plain url), and the name you want to give your link (like a title), and it will show up as a custom hyperlink below My Links. If you use these, you must populate BOTH fields in order for it to show up, otherwise your text won't be visible or the link will be empty. Cover Image URL: Drop in the url to your cover picture to show off your cover wherever you are on Steve. Pictures will be scaled down to 150px wide, so smaller is better. Cover Link URL: If you want your picture to link somewhere when you click on it, drop in the desired url here. If you'd like any more custom stuff like a blog banner area or something, or just wish you had a particular feature, please let myself or Siana Blackwood know.

AH, I LOVE THE COLOR UPDATE SO MUCH BETTER!
I'd been using the 'Film' theme so I didn't notice anything (and the mini profile thing wasn't working correctly there so I all I could see were links) but now I think I'll switch back to Dark Night again. Permanently.
I like the mini profile, too. It's cool. -goes in search for cover art-

Yeah, guess I should've mentioned that some things only work with Dark Night. That one tends to get all the changes first. Or at all because I'm lazy. Other themes may have color issues because most of the colors were chosen to complement the Default.
