one that does the colors and the bolded text to shorten the code in your signature?
 
I'm not sure vBulletin could even be configured to read such a tag
My guess is... no

But I doubt there would be enough usage of it to justify the trouble anyway

It's doable, and definitely easy to add. All it takes is this HTML:
HTML:
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://mroogle.*************" target="_blank"><font size="3"><b><font color="Red">M</font><font color="Blue">R</font><font color="Green">o</font><font color="#e0de1f">o</font><font color="Blue">g</font><font color="Green">l</font><font color="Red">e</font></b></font></a>

But I don't think you could just use [mroogle] with the version of vBulletin this site is running. It'd have to be [mroogle][/mroogle]
 
@ xbuddycorex - "madness it requires now"? :confused: It's a URL, not even a particularly long one. I know it can eat up space if you want the coloured letters (with the markup being included in the signature character limit) but it's not that bad, really.


I'd LOVE to see a MRoogle tag but that is totally up to the admins of this site.

Interesting and good to know
I did not know MR could customize its own tags for parsing
It would be good for standardization I suppose

I am talking about the colored mockup, and it is nothing short of madness. How did you make all that you have fit? I'm at the limit and I had to make both of my Os green :-/

I know PHPBB let you. I think I have seen some custom tags on this forum too. like the [embedguide] one.

PHPBB3 is like that. That is a good point. but still it is shorter than it is now.
 
I like it the way it is now. Having it in your sig right now says, "I am so dedicated to the cause of Mroogle that I am willing to forgo other information in my signature just to let you know a place to search the forums is in colorful and stylish fashion." That is dedication!


(actually I don't care one way or the other)
