Description
More Smart-links____________________
A pretty straightforward suggestion:
Just like we have :devusername: , :iconusername: and :thumb#####: we should have similar smart-links to link to news-articles

Y'know, now that I see this... I bet the same principle would be cool for journal entries.

And for deviation titles, :link######: or... some better name than that, I dunno, 'cause they work on number IDs.
And there is a chat fast code... :#devart: = #devart

Since the codes would have to generate static HTML, you wouldn't be able to put a heart count or anything dynamic into comments or journals, as it would become out of date very quickly. But just being able to paste links to journals, news and forums etc by name or by ID would be very convenient.

That's why this hasn't happened yet. >_>

Mmm, yes, but those kinds of things are just extras. The request for simply providing static links to news, journals, etc., with the title of the item being the link text, is a relatively simple one.

I have no idea about the technical issues, but I just liked the idea

We brought it up to Andrew a while back and he had reservations about adding in more colon codes.

Unfortunately, Andrew told me that all new markup changes go through him and he didn't seem keen on adding any new :whatever: tags
News links would be cool though!

That would be so useful for pimping! No need to type up HTML codes!
That'd definitely be pretty awesome. :D

It's been suggested before, and some people brought up a good point. It would give you a permanent, direct link to your thread and open the door to rampant necro posting. The solution was to couple that with an auto-lock feature so threads after a certain age wouldn't be open for posting anymore.

Yeah i actually saw that discussion and it would be good if posts older than lets say a month get locked.
