This will create an automatically formatted new topic in the map forum for your map (complete with clickable thumbnails to your map images), as demonstrated below:
There will be a link to the topic placed at the top of the description on your map's main info page.
There is a new bbcode tag which isn't really intended to be used by normal users - its just there to enable the clickable thumbnails in the auto-generated post. The tag is [ mapimg ][ /mapimg ] and works in the same way as the normal image tag, except it takes the path to your map screenshots minus the image extension, eg:
[ mapimg ]http://snarkpit.net/maps/HL2/images/3078_1[ /mapimg ]
[mapimg]http://snarkpit.net/maps/HL2/images/3078_1[/mapimg]
Shows the thumbnail image for that map 3078's first image, which when clicked brings up a popup showing the full image. Hopefully its easy enough to decipher, because once the topic has been created thats it - it ain't gonna change if you update your map with more/fewer screenies... although I'm gonna have a think about ways to improve this.
If you have an existing map, you can create one of these linked topics by editing your map and selecting "add discussion topic". The Edit map page has also been redesigned to be more clear & resemble the add map page more closely.
Any issues, lemme know.
Cheers.
