Auto Link
A suggestion for Development. If I take type a game name in a post it will convert it to a hyperlink to the game on HOL. I notice some do it manually but i think it would be cool if it did it automatically.

Interesting, but I think it would just get in the way, myself - what if I typed something like, say, "I was in complete agony", and then Agony was automatically converted to a link? Wouldn't make much sense out of context like that.

Maybe have the Hall of Light Search box a floating one, so when you scroll down it stays in the top right hand corner? As sometimes a user will mention a game I've not heard of and I have to scroll right to the top to search for it, not a biggy but would be nice.

Maybe there could be a special 'HOL link' in the post editor? That would be the best solution IMO ![]() |

Someone has already had a go at implementing it!
[ HOL ] gamename [/ HOL ] Shame it puts so much GUNK text around the game name. HOL Database (id=Agony) is a great game! Love the music. |

Ah, a hidden feature
![]() I agree that the output should just be the game name. Nice feature and thanks for the info Alex. |

HOL Database (id=Dozer) Test....
Yeah that is a bit messy. If it was edited a bit I'd definitely use it more! HOL Database (id=Gibberish Crap) Hehe, I guess there is no validation on what you type ![]() |

Should look more like 'http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?find=Agony' and not 'http://hol.abime.net/Agony'. Would be even better if it would directly link to the game, but guess that is possible with a bit of extra work.

We have such a feature at Lemon and it's quite handy. You can even select a screenshot to accompany the link.

Can we make the HOL tag automatically add DBSes as well?
Or can we have a DBS tag? ![]() |

Currently not possible because of HOL image protection system, but yes, it's definitively a good idea
