Short notice about the forums editor

Unread post by machinebacon » Tue Oct 08, 2013 7:08 am

By default, every topic can be answered using the 'Quick Reply' field at the bottom. If you want more functions, like buttons to include videos, mp3s, images or links, you can click on 'Full Editor'. For the convenience of loading time, the Full Editor is now set to use a lighter and quicker version than before, while keeping most of the functionality. Needless to say that you can still use the BBCodes entered manually in the Quick Reply window.

(And seriously, do you really need glowing text and drop-shadows? No lame jokes please!)

To embed youtube videos, use the new function:

Code: Select all

[yt]UPNK_WlPLsg[/yt]
where we take the video code found behind the v= in youtube links.
This produces:
[yt]UPNK_WlPLsg[/yt]

Added some new BBCodes:

* the ascii tags let you post ASCII art and display it "correctly" (nah, not really)

Code: Select all

[ascii] __
/o \/
\__/\[/ascii]
divbox=color
makes colorful boxes
for illustration purposes
just don't use white ;)

Code: Select all

[divbox=white]just don't use white ;)[/divbox] 
* a progress bar, embraces a value between 0 and 100:
70%
useful if you rate tobaccos or window managers in your reviews ;)

Code: Select all

[progress]70[/progress]
* Add some background colour

Code: Select all

[bgcolor=green] Add some background colour[/bgcolor]
* google search: lmgtfy (I see some heavy use of this in the support section)

Code: Select all

[google]lmgtfy[/google] 
* same, using ixquick because -> Pidsley <- likes it ;)

Code: Select all

[ix]Pidsley[/ix]
* link directly to the BBQ Wiki if something is Fishy (check the caps)

Code: Select all

[wiki]Fishy[/wiki]
* Anchor and goto - this is useful if you have a TOC

Code: Select all

We jump from [goto=jump]here[/goto]
...
.....
..
[anchor=jump] to here 
You can use this thread as playground to test. ;)
