mob
        Help()
            var/text = {"
            <html>
            <head>
            <title>
            Test World - Help Browser
            </title>
            <style>
            body {
            background-color: '#000000';
            color: '#ffffff'
            }
            </style>
            </head>
            <body>
            <center>
            <font size = "5" face = "Matura MT Script Capitals">

mob
    verb
        FixIcon(mob/M in world)
            M.icon='Base white.dmi'
            M<<"Your Base Icon has been restored!"

If you aren't using an interface, you can call browse() without the second argument, since by default, it will send the HTML to the default browser (which is the browser tab). If you do have an interface, you can still call browse() without the second argument if you set a browser control as the default control. If you want to target a specific control, you will have to use output().

uh your Fix Icon verb is kinda... bad.

it can pick from ANYONE, not even the person who used it.
so, it's like you can change any player's icon.

i'd do...
mob/verb/back_to_base_icon() //no args.
     //just do your stuff here. replace the 'M<<'s with 'usr<<' as if it's a VERB, who else will call it?

You don't seem to understand how a forum works. You reply to the person you're replying to, not to someone else. That way people can easily follow the flow of conversation and not get confused when a reference is made to something that isn't there.

BYOND is the ONLY forum i can think of that goes like:

95% of good forums that you look through all posts if you see you like the thread or something is like:
post (after the first one, your replying to each reply)

PHPBB software doesn't show threads like BYOND does, but there is a lot of other software that does. Digg uses software like that, I belive.
