subSilver2 has a legend at the bottom of every forum page. Doesn't look like proSilver does though.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Ahh, I had switched to proSilver. Thanks, pickle. But even in subSilver2, it doesn't say what the black dot on the icon means. I don't know why I'm so concerned about it, I guess I just like to understand what somebody is trying to tell me.

EDIT | d11wtq - Because you've got the "Disable BBCode" box checked ;)

Yeah... when posting make sure 'Disable BBCode' checkbox is unchecked. It's in the 'Options' tab, below a posting form.

Like I said, it marks topics you participated in.

You said that??

In any case, thanks for both clarifications. Right now, I'm using subSilver2 and staring directly at the Options area, and it tells me that BBCode is OFF, but there is no box to uncheck and the link just goes to a FAQ page about BBCode. I've looked in my profile, but I can't find any global setting there, either.

Yes, on the previous page. You must have missed my post.

The only thing that really annoyed me was where it shows if you have any friends online, it told me I don't HAVE any friends! :p

Unpopular Don is..... unpopular.

I actually have NO idea what the friend thing is all about - I added a few people to see if it made any sort of difference to anything, and I have yet to notice. But or what it's worth, I'll be your friend. For a price.

Kieran, you're alright! (I don't care what everybody else says)

But back on topic, I still don't understand why I can't use BBCode, even though my profile is set to Enable By Default.

Have you tried switching themes to see if it affects you there as well?
