Got a slight bug which I found.

In HTML programming, which I think is what you are using (this next part is true for just about any internet design programming languages I think) the code

<hr> causes a line, like so:
[hr]
This line is handy. Not a button on the forums, but handy nonetheless for people who can code it in. In the forums, you have conveniently replaced the < and > code tags for HTML with [ and ]. Also handy.

However I think due to leaving the hr newline code out of the forum, you also left out the thing that changes all of the little <> pieces into [] ones on the editing board for it. So when you open a post for edit which has a
[!hr]
in it, then it reverts to <hr> and doesn't show up as a line on the forum anymore.

Just a simple bug, and few enough people use it that it might not warrant the effort of fixing. Thought I'd mention it nonetheless.
