Thanks to Joe's post intending to add a horizontal rule, I've added a new tag: [hr]

The syntax is:

    [hr=height]color[/hr]

The height and color are required. The height is a number of pixels high, and the color can be a color name (such as red, white, blue, black) or a hexadecimal color specification (#RRGGBB such as #FF7F00 for orange with red=FF, green=7F, blue=00).

Here are 3 horizontal rules in colors red, white, and blue in heights 2, 5, and 20:

[hr=2]red[/hr]

---

[hr=5]white[/hr]

---

[hr=20]blue[/hr]

---

Here they are stacked together (all of height 20): [hr=20]red[/hr] [hr=20]white[/hr] [hr=20]blue[/hr]

Here are more horizontal rules with rainbow colors #FF0000, #FF7F00, #FFFF00, #00FF00, #0000FF, #FF00FF, #FF0000 (all of height 10):

Here's a thick divider done with: [hr=2]black[/hr] [hr=5]black[/hr] [hr=2]black[/hr]:

Note that you can also combine the new "hr=" tag with other tags such as the "left=" tag to further highlight portions of your post:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

As of June 26, 2026, a new "ai" BBCode tag has been added to the U.S. Hawks forum. The "ai" tag is intended to let people to know when they are reading information generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The "ai" tag operates in a manner similar to the familiar quote tag where you specify the name of the AI inside the opening BBCode. For example, if you were quoting ChatGPT, your opening "ai" tag might be [ai=ChatGPT]. That would be followed by the actual quote and then the closing tag of [/ai]. A typical "ai" quote might look like this in BBCode:

[ai=Chat GPT]Follow these steps to assemble the hang glider
directly over the ground cloth, which also serves
as the wrapping bag for the toted pack.[/ai]

The result will currently look like this:

AI content from "Chat GPT":

Follow these steps to assemble the hang glider directly over the ground cloth, which also serves as the wrapping bag for the toted pack.

Note that the actual formatting of the "ai" tag in the forum may change in the future. While the details of the formatting may change, it will always be intended to stand out so that people will know when they are reading AI-generated content.

Please use the new "ai" tag whenever you are quoting AI-generated content. Thanks.
