The Mediocre forums posting guide
4I figured it would be a good idea to let everyone know exactly what features our forums have in case you missed anything in the Changelog.
For example, you can wrap your text with double tilde characters to strikethrough and use [spoiler]spoiler tags[/spoiler] by wrapping text with [spoiler][ /spoiler]
Especially useful with the start of the new season of Game of Thrones!
It works on images
[spoiler] [/spoiler]
And gifs too

Here's what you can do on the Mediocre forum. I'll keep this thread updated when new features come along.
You can edit your comments, notes, and topic titles for up to 5 minutes (plus a 5-minute grace period) after posting by clicking the edit button
Subscribe or unsubscribe to posts by clicking the envelope under the original post in a topic
Tag other users by using the @ symbol, calling @Dave!
You can directly embed Images, Gifs, YouTube, Vimeo, and Vine videos by linking the URL:
You can also embed Tweets, SoundCloud files, and Kickstarter campaigns the same way
Feel free to try them out in this thread and ask any questions you might have.

Whew! I saw this and thought you were giving us posting rules. You know, give a guy a little bit of power and he can become a tyrant.
There is only one rule...
Hey, what's the deal with Add Note, and why can't I respond to it?
Is it just a way to have some input without anyone any mocking you back?
As @ignorant said, notes are meant for shorter direct replies that probably don't need their own comment.
Actually we thought it was a little confusing too and have been talking about changing 'add note' to reply to make it more clear.
And those changes just went live so it should be easier to realize that you're replying directly to a comment.
@Kevin, I believe the add note is for smaller comments like "thanks" that don't really add to or move along the conversation.
PS: still can't unspoiler text on mobile :(
But just figured out I can highlight the spoiled text and click "define" on iOS and see the text that way.
So, that works! The preview is working well also.
(I totally thought you were posting forum rules and I had a major sad. Glad you're just reminding us how to use the cool stuff!)
