Cheat-master30's vBulletin Modifications

[cheat-master30]

Various Unusual vB Cpde

This modification is not a modification in the sense it requires actual template modifications, but nor is it an add on product in that it uses what is already in vBulletin, as in the BB code manager. This is simply a collection of BB code for features not found online often, and that use standards compliant, semantic code to add curious codes that may come in handy sometimes.

Updates:

1.7- Added a new code (definition) which looks awesome.
1.6- Tried a new code (Internet Explorer only, see post 3.

1.5- Updated Definition List codes. New one allows infinite child items and is perfectly XHTML valid. Also has bold headings.

1.4- Added glossary link code and blink code (plus instructions on how to block blinking text in Firefox

1.3- Forgot to add css for overline in second post.

1.2- Added some other sites to the search link code

1.1- Added horizontal rule and Spoiler code

1.0- Release BB Code

None needed

Works in any version with custom BB code as an option. Tested in vBulletin 3.6.4, 3.6.5, 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 PL1.

Notes:

If you want to know why the modifications are tied to those on the vBulletin.org site, it is because I have also released all modifications there under the same usernmame. Note my profile and home page there:

Images of each modification given there.

Quite the long read, haven't read all of it myself, but looks technical, and I'm not that good at BB codes, so yeah...
