Custom BBCodes for the new forum

[North Wiedna]

Yes, your spoilers seem to work fine. The problem with the [align= ] is that it would put the spoiler on the next line whereas [floatcenter] would allow me to have my second spoiler on the same line near the center.

His work fine because they don't exceed the size of the spoiler.

Aha. I see the problem. That would most likely be

---

some test material and such
more test material
even MORE material

test material blah blah blah
heh... material.
saying it over and over makes it sound funny.

there we go.

As to floatcenter, floatleft and floatright are using the CSS float tag, which doesn't HAVE a center option. Limitation of the code, which you can't really get around. just use align=center (or better yet make it so your sig doesn't need 3 separate columns of text)

There should be a [highlight] code that allows you to highlight text.
Also, you should be able to click the button to work codes in TGs like you can with the forum
Also, why did the only moderator who replied to my many [user] tag say "no no one cares" when I got a bunch of other NSers to say yes without even trying to?

You mean like this?

There is one. It's the "Background" tag.
On page 1, there are a lot of smileys that are not here anymore. WTF?

Also, a good tag would be [spam] that:
1. Does this: http://wilsonbiggs.com/spamtag1.html
2. Makes a new thread with the template:

Your explanation isn't very clear, but from what I'm gathering, it would serve virtually no purpose on the NS forums. If someone spams, either a mod spots it or another player reports it and then the mods go and deal with it. This sounds like an entirely too complex widget to accomplish the same task.

Hey, it does work!

[New East Asian Nation]

Could there be options for the HR tag? We know that there is just the plain:

---

But maybe if you use some kind of option like [hr=*] to make:
*****************************************************************************************************************************
That would be cool.

[Aeyariss]

This stickies just saved me. Thanks a lot guys.

[Astholm]

Not trying to gravedig this thread, but then it is a "sticky" so I'll post my idea here anyway...
Is there any BBCode we could use for this:

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
All businesses appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real businesses, trading or out of business, is purely coincidental.

If there was some code, like

Code: Select all

[apf][/apf]

it could work.

Just an idea.

Is it possible to puts a spoiler in a spoiler?

[The Emmerian Unions]

Is it possible to puts a spoiler in a spoiler?

See.

Edit: Adding the code box so you can see how I did it.

Code: Select all

[spoiler=Yes, it is][spoiler]See.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

I'm having trouble with putting custimizable text into my spoiler box thingie. Halp me please.

[Reploid Productions]

I'm having trouble with putting custimizable text into my spoiler box thingie. Halp me please.

I assume you mean the text on the spoiler button?

It's done like this:

Code: Select all

 [spoiler=Insert text here] Etc etc etc blah blah text and words[/spoiler]

Which displays like this:

Etc etc etc blah blah text and words

Most punctuation marks aren't allowed in the buttons, however simple text works fine.

Any chance you can have it so you can have a table with no border?

[North Mack]

Any chance you can have it so you can have a table with no border?

or some options within border that let you set the border width?

[Nort Eurasia]

Hmm... Is there any way we could add "glow", "shadow" and "moving" codes?

[glow=red,2,50]glow[/glow]

[shadow=red,left]shadow[/shadow]

and

[move]text[/move]

(Basic, I know )

[Reploid Productions]

Hmm... Is there any way we could add "glow", "shadow" and "moving" codes?

Those sorts of visual effects really aren't necessary for forum text, and typically require something a little more hefty than just HTML to accomplish.

Let me think... no.

We don't allow users to format their stuff with actual HTML/CSS because it's a security risk. It is possible to enable users to use HTML/CSS on a site, however it requires extensive security work. For our needs, BBCode works fine.

Damn , I always forget about that. Well, gonna have to practice somewhere else then...

Shadow is fairly easy to accomplish via HTML, something like

Code: Select all

<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.3em 0.3em 0.3em">Text to gain a shadow</span>

more info on the possible variables here. I could see them being useful if the shadow effect was subdued, as they tend to 'pop' shadowed text more for things like headers or the like. Glow, not as much...

As to the moving text... why why WHY would anyone, ever want that. EVER. We finally got rid of 99% of all gaudy, annoying, and useless moving text and <marquee> tags when geocities shut down, why would you want ANYTHING like that on nationstates!? </ramble>
