You can do this now. :) Don't think it lets me stick it in a post here though.

Awesome. One thing though, you should really let users log in as "guest", and not have to take the moment to sign up.

Yuck, iframes. Can you make a stripped down version that just requires an object embed a la the YouTube player? Requiring all that cruft to mostly just display some boilerplate HTML links seems excessive. Also, you've done a good job of obfuscating the link to the Wiki page where the embedding instructions are.

You can grab the embed code from the tools in your world from the Share It menu.

Guest support is on the roadmap, but we thought we'd test it this way before opening the floodgates.

Oh, the Wiki page also has how to add bbCode for phpBB now. Dunno how different it is for SMF.

For our version somebody would have to write a mod (plugin) or hack the code directly.
