I was just wondering if anyone knows how to use the Macros for this Forum.  If you click on My Profile at the top and then click on the Macros Tabs, you can add Macros... does anyone know how to use this, or any helpful macro's?  Thanks...

It says "Macros allow you to post or reply with predefined content. You
may choose macros by using the dropdown on the post page."



Maybe you could have a post macro that says "Thats a good idea." with a
Title of "Good Idea" Then maybe you choose the macro name on the post
page to automatically reply to the thread. Wild guess there, Ive never
used it before, although it sounds partially useful.

Yeah like if you are constantly typing visit a certain site or making a
same comment.  Or just want a simple method of adding a repeatable
comment just add it there.



I haven't fully grasped the insert of the HTML and links into the page
with ease yet to include them in macros.  Would have been handy on
the old boards during the 'alais' phase..

It just automatically enters text into your message when you select the
name of your macro from a drop down menu. Useful if you regularly write
the same thing in your posts. Saves you typing it out every time.

I'd suggest making it clickable at least... then it might be a more usefull macro.
