Missed that.

Anyways, here's one: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/search/?action=show_subscriptions (shows all of the topics you're following)

The [p] tag is pretty much unused on the Scratch forums, and seems to just be a built-in feature of DjangoBB.

All it does is wrap the text inside it in an HTML <p> element.

There's also some other tags that are rarely used, such as [dict] (searches a dictionary) and [wp] (searches Wikipedia).

There's an unused search page.

Forgot how to access it though.

Technically it is still used, when showing your posts/topics and when showing posts since last visit and unanswered posts (topics with only the OP)- but not as a search engine.

There’s a center tag that basically just centers the text inside it.

Example is this text.

You can color text in the forums. [color] tag

I think that's for any page bigger than there are in the topic. For example, this topic has 1 page, so ?page=2 would give the same result

When a post of the topic gets deleted, sometimes the posts below it will look goofy.

You can add hi all of the special fonts in one which I guess is cool, but also https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/search/?action=show_user&user_id=93950994&show_as=topics shows my topics I have posted on, you can put your ID

Changing the user ID doesn't seem to do anything. The page always shows the posts/topics for whatever account you're signed in to.

there's a hidden <h3> in every post, probably post subjects or smth. by modifying the css to make it display correctly i get this:

There's also a hidden checkmark in the HTML that lets you follow a topic as soon as you post (even without the extension)

specifically id_subscribe is the checkmark, it doesn't have a label tho

I followed the topic as soon as i posted this by using the hidden checkmark
