for those who dont know (just in case) in html an anchor looks like this:
Code: Select all
<a name="anchorname">
you access an anchor by going to someurl#anchorname
currently on usp anchors are used for jumping to specific posts or for jumping to the top of the page
anchors could be implemented in many different ways, maybe the bbcode could look something like this
Code: Select all
[anchor]anchorname[/anchor]
or
[anchor=anchorname]
then access it using the standard url link
Code: Select all
[url=#anchorname]go to anchorname[/url]
this would be useful for threads that use an index style format which point to large blocks of text, exu2 thread as an example
currently the only way to create anything like an anchor for such a post is to make several replies and "reserving" those post numbers so you can use an anchor link to jump to those posts
doing that looks messy however
good if you know exactly how many posts you need to reserve, not good if you need to anchor more content
anyway thats it i dont really have an issue using the "ghetto method" it works, but just thought i would mention it
