"/me"

I added another feature request JIRA

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-41637

with the hope that "/me" formatting could be added to the forums. Probably a crazy request, but it would, IMO, be handy

/me hopes

I have nothing to say about your request, but I do want to say that I love your Title. FIC = Feted Inner Child = brilliant!

I definitively would like this feature -- although it's rather unusual for a forum.

I'm not sure if it is really that useful.  It is easy enough to get the effect with existing tools.  While it will save you from typing your name, of course, it would be limited to our account names.

/me bites her lip while she thinks of what to say.

Leaving it like it is still gets the point across

Ya, I don't think it an exactly high priority thing to have, but I think of it more as a "would be nice if" bit of code trickery.

Our provider does not support this particular format and there is no easy way for us to accomplish. This request will not be something we can address.

Interesting they use the word "provider" for their own programmers. Have they third partied development now?

Hey,

I was just about to come in here and say that unfortunately I don't think this is a feature we are going to be able to implement, it looks like someone else beat me to it though (I have been very busy with many projects lately). I know it is not quite the same, but the use of italics and speaking in the 3rd person is unfortunately the best solution I have to this.

Tommy offers a consoling smile as part of the apology.

I believe the provider in this case can be found at the bottom of every page.

Community Software by Invision Power Services, Inc.

IPS Inc is the provider of these forums.

Was worth a shot!
