Link to Mod
This mod adds a couple of BBCodes into the forum. It copies various GUI elements to posts, to say the least.

(theme used in last screenshot: PremiumMGC)

License:
This mod is too simple to assign a license to it, but if I must, I'd probably go with the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.
As long as you do not steal my idea I'm fine with it. Modify this, kill it, let it doom someone's forum, I couldn't care less.

Languages:
This mod does not use languages.

Installation:
Install through the package manager.

Files modified:
None. This mod uses hooks to insert BBCodes.

New BBCodes:
These BBCodes are added:

Doctor Deejay:
Nice mod :)

Marcus Forsberg:
Not bad. Not bad at all!

Yoshi:
Thanks both :)

I have yet to install this on my own site, because I was smacking some bugs in the meantime, gotta install it later to give you a demo :)

EDIT: Dr. Deejay has been playing with the mod:
http://map3cms.co.cc/index.php/topic,268.msg298.html#new

EDIT2: Uploaded new version which should fix a few bugs. It's called the same as the previous package ("FancyPosts.zip").

Jessica.:
