Thanks for the kind words, everyone! Didn't even expect the full-size version to get over 100 downloads. I'm thrilled.
About the pink layout, it was actually just a draft layout that never made it to the launch. When we were still drafting the look and feel of the new skin, I joked and made something with a full-blown, pinkish colour scheme and slapped a yuri banner on top of it.
Mostly to spite Checkmate, who I knew didn't like both the colour scheme and the banner. But it was more or less a "what if" design that never made it to the final product. We never actually worked to design such a layout beyond the draft. (If you look closely at the banner, you'll see that it has a similar style to what we currently have, only less refined and not as well cooked.)
Like the other "what if" examples portrayed in the guide―such as the one about post backgrounds―it's 99% Photoshop and 1% magic, no real applications. That doesn't close the possibility of us having such a layout in the future, of course.
[...] i think that flash is also security risk.
Yes, you nailed it yourself. I don't think we'll enable embedding swf, at least not anytime soon, as you can put more than just images and sounds in an swf object. For embedding sounds, however, I wonder if we can also enable other services like Bandcamp besides Soundcloud. (I've never worked with their embeds, much less APIs, so I have no idea at this point.)
If I may ask a question (since this is a guide), how does one use the GUI editor for tables?
I trust the options (columns, rows, etc) are self-explanatory, though I can see how it gets confusing once you submit your preferences and the BBcode pops up in your post box. This thing works just like
HTML tables, only simplified:
- [tr], short for table row, defines the start―[tr]―and end―[/tr]―of a row. Everything inside a combination of [tr][/tr] is confined to the same row.
- [td], short for table data [cell], defines the columns within a row. Everything inside a combination of [td][/td] is confined to the same column.
Hope that's clear enough.
