While currently very limited, the new forums do have a few features, both intentional and unintentional, to help users add quality and organization to their posts. Here are a few to help you improve your posts!

Tables

While tables don't actually exist in the forums yet, a useful character is: the tab character. While the forums don't recognize tab key input, it does support the tab character. This is because the new forums use pre-wrapping, which isn't standard in HTML outside of the <pre> tags or with the white-space:pre property set in an element's inherited or specific styles. Long story short, you can now use a fabulous alignment character programmers love to use: the horizontal tab.

Just copy the character below within the quotations:
" "

Here's an example of its applicaiton. The way the horizontal tab works is by counting every 5 spaces and continuing from there, whether or not characters fill the spot. It's easier done than said and you'll find it aligns everything perfectly!

Language Tags

Originally spotted in Sydoline's announcement, Tiggy seems to have incorporated language tags for alternative versions of your post in different language. While completely unnecessary and just plain annoying in language-specific forums, these tags can be very useful for your topic in the fanarts forum, in international tribe forums, or in diverse replies to announcements which are also international.
Currently there exists a language tag for every language server in the game.

To use language tags, type [​#la]message in that language[/​#la] where "la" is your language abbreviation (en, fr, br, etc.). Each tag is an entirely different post and anything posted outside of the tags will not be visible. Also, links currently don't appear in language tags.

Quotes

Obviously, quotes exist! However, they can also be used to spruce up your postings and not only to quote others' messages. Quoted text has a unique style to it and, without specifying who's being quoted, doesn't just stand out as a quote. Just using the [​quote] tags will give your text the quoted look but without the "he says she says:" hovering over it.

Et cetera

This thread is great! Although I would like to add that when you do the [ #la][/ #la] Thing you have to translate the text yourself, you cant just put [# en][# fr] Hi! [/ #en][/ #fr] And expect it to translate it self! You must do this: [# en] Hi! [/ #en][# fr] Bonjour! [/ #fr]. Thanks!


P.S. Without the spaces on the [ #en] things!

Umm... I think you messed up a bit :P

It's perfectly aligned for me. Your post isn't, but in my post it is.

On my screen your post isn't aligned... the pie, H2O and Gaaaatoraaade rows aren't aligned

Its aligned on my screen/

Likewise. What computer are you using, Anomunus? I don't think browser should make a difference... perhaps it's Mac's character set if you're using a Mac.

<bold>how to bold text?</bold>

bold ?

Power abuse!!11!1!!

Detlefdiehos a dit :

Only sents and mods can post <b>bold text</b> (use HTML in general) so far.

What specs are the forum's HTML? If by some magic it includes HTML5, you should definitely play audio with HTML5 audio tags. Much lulz would ensue.

Oshoe a dit :

I tried, doesn't work, unless I'm doing it wrong (which is very possible).

This is what I used:

I guess these forums don't go all the way up to the HTML5 specs. I wasn't expecting them to anyway...

I doubt whatever extremely substandard HTML Flash does support can produce audio either. Have you tried embedding the forums into the forums, though? Lol if the object tag works.

Edit: Quoted links still break posts...

Oshoe a dit :

Embedding forums into forums? o.o WHAT?

You use HTML to embed flash objects, y'know. Try embedding the forums into your post. Then find your post in the embedded forums. Then you'll have a forum in a forum in a forum. Inception mode on.
