Bug while using BBcode on dispatch

Postby The Latinamerican federation » Sat Aug 14, 2021 5:57 am

I tried to find an appropiate thread to ask someone for help but failed to do so. I've never really talked in forums at all so not sure if this is the place to ask for help.

I was trying to make a sort of Master Dispatch-ish thing using an already finished BBcode text which I had copied-and-pasted. While editing it to be looking more like a description of the region with useful resources and links, I noticed something was not right.

Usually when you post a link to a dispatch on NationStates it will automatically to look like a preview, the problem is that it also make a large space which I do not know how to fix... it's hard to describe, it's better if I link to for you to see. i tested with other NS links as well and it does the same thing everytime not displaying properly... If anyone knows what is wrong or is good at BBcode I would appreciate your help!

On the section where it says "Foreign Affairs", below the title is where the weird thing is. I really would love to make it work properly since I'm really happy with how my master dispatch for my region is turning out and I would hate to change format...

That's not a bug, it's just the width of the preview, the side table won't allow it. You could put it in the [url] tag like your other links to completely get rid of the preview, but this is very unlikely to be changed by admin.

I think this may have something to do with borders and alignment, I don't know if it is fixable though sorry
