Updates in the forum

Several sites, like SourceForge and Stackoverflow, are using Markdown as
the language to format text. The basic concept of Markdown is to be able
to write text that's looking good in plain text editors, and easily
converted to HTML. Another big advantage is that it's fast to write.

Markdown is now used in our [forum] as well. Don't worry, there are still buttons so you won't have to learn all the syntax to be able to use it. If you're using the Quick Reply box though you need to be aware of this. You may also use some simple HTML, but the old BBCode will not work anymore.

As a positive side effect we also implemented an instant preview feature, which is updated in realtime when you're writing posts.
