How to format your code so it can be seen on the forum.
Paste code into window.
Highlight all of the code.
Click the preformatted text button. (It looks like </> and is next to the quote one and on the same bar as the other formatting and smilies choice.)
Click reply.
To make spoilers surround the spoiler with [spoiler] [/spoiler]
For example [spoiler] Super spoiler text here [/spoiler] will read as Super spoiler text here
It can also be helpful to readers to put what spoiler text is about outside of the spoiler. Eg,
I’m going to give away a super secret thing about spoilers- Some people don’t like to be spoiled about things, but will read spoiler text if they don’t know what you’re spoiling!
Any other great wisdom that you can share?? X] testing testing testing…testing in the dark…hehehehehe
The forum rules are linked to from here: https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/welcome-to-the-choice-of-games-forum/ We actually have a way of knowing who has and hasn’t read the rules.
Since I’m at this a couple of useful links to the discourse forums.
Bumping my old topic because I’ve noticed a number of people don’t seem to know how to post code in the forums.
But on topic. I just discovered a new command. It’s DETAILS
[details=the summary]blablabla[/details]
gives you
blablabla
This should let us hide paragraphs of spoilers.
I found the best thing ever! They added spoilers into the formatting bar! Now we can just click the cog and select blur spoiler or hide details! And also build a poll!
WOOH!!! I suppose that’s made some of the above redundant now!
I just made a picture for how the cog function works.
Thank you for your screen shot. Just a note of interest: Most of us (me included) do not have the “Canned replies” option. I assume that is a moderator tool but I thought I’d throw that out there to avoid confusion.
Oh! Looks like Canned Replies is a moderator tool. I’ve never used it. I had a brief glance at it and wondered what it was for but couldn’t work out how it would be useful.
But you’ve inspired me to look over at Discourse to see what the function is and they’re shared amongst all staff members. I dunno, it does seem a bit impersonal to me though.
I suppose I can edit out the canned replies from that screenshot, but ha maybe people want to see some special moderator powers.
