The slideshow *might* get put into the Mystic Night theme. I haven't gotten a chance to even think about putting in the code for it (I've been concentrating on things like the spoiler feature, which isn't exactly going well so far because the person who wrote the mod is using PHP code that I'm not familiar with and which is so advanced that it doesn't even appear in any of my PHP manuals (
) so I've been spending a good deal of time familiarizing myself with it via various PHP Web sites). And that theme is simply a temporary alternative for the people who choose not to use the SMF default and Lightning themes, both of which do feature the slideshow.
Speaking of the slideshow, it has been slated to end once it completes its second run with the June 26th episodes, but I haven't given any thought as to what might replace it...
Changing the subject, I've noticed that this system is far more finicky when it comes to nesting BBC tags than previous versions. The placement on tags that did indeed work in past systems are no longer working. For example, this code had worked:

PS: I only got 8 out of 11--who can do better? ;)[/b]
but now it has to be:

so, whenever anyone is using multiple tags, please be sure to preview your posts before posting them to make sure everything is displaying the way you'd like it to.
