New BBCodes

I added BBCode options for aligning text to the right or to centre it.
There's no point in a left alignment since that is the default.
It should be fairly easy to use but tell me if there are issues.

The point being now people can centre or align text to the right.

I've removed one post that was unnecessarily insulting to other users. Remember the forum is not a place to attack other users or start drama. While that might happen in other places we would prefer things on the forum to stay civil, calm and respectful.

Thank you for the addition, Rakuen. To be honest, I was hoping for this purely for an aesthetic effect to use on my signature. It looks rather imbalanced and clunky entirely on the left. Now that can be fixed. :)

If we have other suggestions for specific and practical BBC code, may we suggest it in the future?

Suggestions are always possible. It should be something that's really needed. For example, I added strikethrough at the beginning of the year but I can't recall ever seeing it used.

I was not insulting, uncivil, or causing drama. You just took it personally because of what I targeted.

And you wonder why I quit as CR... :roll:

The post was actually reported to me by someone else.

Really now? I highly doubt it was the user I mentioned, consider their posting habits. Taking offence on behalf of someone else... typical SJW. :lol:

This is not the place for you to talk about who you do or do not like on the forum.

You may as well. With the direction this thread is taking, I believe an 'off-topic lock' is imminent. :P

I'm locking this. This is just announcing two tiny little formatting options. Some like them, some will never use them but no one is negatively affected. There is absolutely no reason to make a fuss about it. This is just sad.
