Perhaps this should be in a feedback forum. But the new thing that links functions to the manual is spectacular.

it's not that they don't like it. It's the color being used. :roll:

Some of us dislike the out-of-syntax colouring... We merry few also note using ! seems to evade the linking process...

See, our concerns are valid! :D

Who cares about the color, thats just stupid. Those links are very useful, I use them almost everyday.

I don't think it would be all that difficult to make the link match the same colour as a syntax highlighted function, but even without that tweak, I love this addition.

I don't think we need to start down that path again; we've already got a thread on changing it in the public, that's enough. :|

I do, just because you don't care about the colors dont mean other people don't

yes I agree that this is a great addition to the forum. there where a lot of things kinda like that when I fist joined but then it got hacked and everything went back to defaults. Hope that does not happen again and that this stuff is kept in a nice secure place incase everything goes down again. fun fun addons!
