|  Re: Site Improvements
I've added one more thing, which I was planning on doing for a long time. It makes my job a lot easier when writing the news, but this feature is also very useful for the forum! I call it AutoLink. Basically what it does is if you write any text and enclose it with double square brackets like this [[Something]] then the site will look up and link that entity. It works for programs (looks up by name), groups/companies (looks up by name or handle), and members (looks up only by handle).
So here are some examples:
[[Lando]] becomes Lando
[[Tom Thumb]] becomes Tom Thumb
[[Kingsoft]] becomes Kingsoft
Use it, if you are referring to a program that's already in the database. That's all for today  (Oh yeah, and I created a link between Maps and their creators on the Member Details page.)
