    Bleh, java xP

    I don't really think it's needed..

    With the use of bold, underlined, italic and red font(s), I think it's pretty easy to lay out a thread clearly.

    Also, there is always the

    Code:
    code option
    in-case you have some info that needs separating, such as code, heh.

    Edit:

    Also, if you're smart, and you're writing a comprehensive guide, you'd type it all out into notepad in sections and then copy and paste the sections into new posts, one below the other.

    After this, you'd go back and add hyperlinks to the sections in the contents page (first post).

    D'ya follow? xD

    Then you could leave your images as links, or, I think if you host the images here @ aD, you can use a "thumbnail" feature - that was a trial BB code, though, so not sure if it's still in use.

    Hey Jack :)

    Do you know how those buttons work? I do and I don't think it helps any with a site as complex as AD is already. I tried them on my site for a few hours and TBH they just take up more drive space than they are worth. Every button links to a file and then drops it into an invisible iframe.. meaning it is open also to sql injection exploit through html parsing?? is that the right term????... some russians did it to me anyways..
    That's probably why the feature is only open to site administrators on open forums. I haven't ever seen them used by everybody on a site.. only mods and admins...
