Update - solution here: Custom BBCodes on the forum
Code: Select all
This is a code box
Thanks for that, but as I mostly browse forums using a tablet (iPad) and "hovering" doesn't seem to work, perhaps it would be useful to have a ready reference to all the BBCode available.Moem wrote: ⤴Thu Apr 22, 2021 3:52 am Try hovering over all the buttons above the box where you type your message, one by one. The tool tips will show you what they do and one of them will reveal itself as 'inline code display'. The tool tips also contain the actual tags, which you can type in by hand as well.

is for remote images, if you use that tag with a https link to an image (so the image itself, not the page it is shown on) you can post a large image on the forum and it will be shown as a very reasonably-sized thumbnail. img
is for inserting an image, but they can't be very large. I suggest you try them out, you'll learn more... I appreciate that, but it was a failed attempt because you didn't take into account that the user might be using a tablet and therefore no fishing rod was available. This isn't trying to be nasty, I am only proposing you could have answered the question directly, and mentioned the tool-tips as a post script – such an approach would be friendlier and less obscure in general. Eg:
See? That would have told me (and other readers who also might not know) everything I needed to know.You can insert in-line code using the "c" button in the toolbar. If your browser supports tool-tips, a summary of each tool will pop up when you hover the mouse over it.
I don't know what you have against adequate reference documentation. Why make people guess? I had no reason to believe
[img]
was not for externally hosted images, as I have already had to host my avatar image externally. You also need to account for the fact that some of us (or is it just me?) are super-annuated and therefore do not have a retentive memory. If the reference documentation exists (for [c]
and [rimg]
) I apologise, please direct me to it.Nothing. And: because I don't exactly know, and when I want to know these things, I try them out. And also because you'll learn more by doing than by being told.
You are wrong on this one Dark Owl. That is my objective assessment.I would have a lot more respect if people were willing to admit they were wrong
Rene provided the information needed, whereas Moem provided noise and then defended the noise. What alternative interpretation is there? It's a sad situation when people believe there is no room for improvement, myself included.
You're the one making people guess. You had the question, so it's your responsibility to supply useful information.
Answer my own questions you mean? If you don't mean that, in what way was the original question unclear? How does somebody with a query know what information they need to supply? If they did, they probably wouldn't need to ask the question.
