Tool Time Friday | Fark You!

Farkode (TM) provides a right-click menu in Firefox to simplify adding HTML (image tags, hyperlinks, font fomatting, etc.) to comments on the Fark.com and TotalFark.com websites. It is based on the excellent BBCode, but is trimmed down and tailored for Fark users. It works in Fark comments, Fark threads, Fark profiles, and optionally on any other website.

It includes:

- font HTML – like bold, italic, small, colour, big, strikeout, size +1, size +2, superscript, and subscript.
- various IMG tags – useful for the urban Photoshopper, the “Welcome N00B” and “Pwn3d!!” image poster, and all exhibitionist Boobie/Weener posters
- various HREF tags – for the prolific linkers, with the added bonus of automatic popping links.
- ability to open Fark threads from just a thread number in someone else’s comment (especially for our friendly neighbourhood mods and admins)
- ability to open FPM, Honour Roll, Squirrel’s Scrutinizer, or Profile entries from just a user name
- And to make up for those who still refuse to linkify their URLs, it pops open any plain text URL!
- ability to open Google or GIS searches for any selected text.

So let’s get farking!
