[abbr=hover text is here]normal text goes here[/abbr][color=transparent]Use this to be annoying.[/color]
[x]and I only discovered it last week :D
I was wondering if there is a resource to see what BBC is enabled specifically to this forum. For example I want to add 'hover text' to images, though I dont know how or if this forum can do it.

I like not knowing about hidden things sometimes. What would be the point of hiding them otherwise?Wait, what?
Oh yeah, and if you're not using Darkling as your theme you should be.I like Darkling, but I hate the giant logo at the top; it just takes up so much screen real estate. Anyone know how to get rid of that?

The only complaint I have is that "colour" isn't generally acceptable as a synonym for "color" in the various specifications. I wouldn't typo tags so easily, if it were... I'm quite disappointed with TBL, in that regard. (Also applies to <centre>, etc.)That's my biggest complaint, right there.

This right here is the worst. I know that some browsers might let you see it when you highlight, but mine certainly doesn't, meaning every time I want to read the damn invisible text I either have to copy/paste it into a decent text box or hit the quote button to see what the heck people have in their post. It's very annoying.Code: [Select][color=transparent]Use this to be annoying.[/color]
Personally I like using transpar :Pent text, >:( if only as a way of :-X helping ensure a joke :'( doesn't get :-\ taken seriously. If someone quotes a post :) wi ;)th transparent text in it (to try and start a debate or :-* something) they should notice the unformatte 8)d text if they're ;D paying any attention. Adding random smileys t :) o th ??? e ends of things also works and is far :omore common, but I try to avoid using them, since I've always foun :P d them disingenuous.
ok, here:...I see. (Sorry, I somehow missed this, until the further posts.)
wrap text challenge:
[snip]
All without manually breaking each line. This would be good in a table too, where it is allowed to wrap tighter on smaller monitors if needed. If there is several columns.This always was a thing, in HTML. Special purpose markup is used to not do this (and these days I lose track of all the bells and whistles demanded by people who insist on pixel-perfect rendering, in an attempt to be exactly the same, when the original functionality was intended to be "render something like this, let the browser work out the best way of doing it". (And by even imagining that it's definitely going to be a web-page it leaves browsers like the old classic Lynx unable to comply...) But that's always been a problem.
Personally, I switch between a netbook and a latop, and host forum games. Making me aware of and motivated to dispay things well for a variety of viewers.Good for you. As a past-master of the art (well, maybe I flatter myself), the image-mapping example above is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to people demanding something that HTML was never intended to do... and BBCode is (at best) a subset of that.
On another note I am curious, I believe I've seen people post images that you can click on and then they grow bigger. I am wondering how to do that. Will post if I find out on my on by coming across it again.

Honestly, when I first opened this thread, my head was full of theories on what the title could mean - someone claiming this forum is like the BBC (and whether that was good or bad)? Someone asking what the BBC-equivalent of this forum is? This is cool too. I GUESS.

Anyone found any function of the first and second number on this forum? Can you create different results?
By my understanding, the original format was textcolor,glowcolor,glowstrength, but it's nonfunctional now; you can change the color of the glow by changing the listed color, but that's it.
That doesn't really make sense. Why would "text color" be a part of it when that is a separate thing?[glow=red,2,300][/glow]

Because the color is applied to the glow, not the text itself. That's just how I've always found it to be described. It's the color of the glow applied to the text within the tag, in plain English.That doesn't really make sense.

For example, green text with a red glow. The text color is green. The text color of the glow is red.
No that doesnt make sense, what you just did is this:
[color=green][glow=red,2,300]For example, green text with a red glow.[/glow][/color]
You added color as an additional command. How then, does "red,2,300" mean "textcolor,glowcolor,glowstrength"?
Because the color is applied to the glow, not the text itself.
Does anyone know how to indent? I found a sloppy way of doing it. You make a list of bullets with [x], if one contains bbc like italic the following will indent along with any text.You can just use spaces.
It works okay in code tags.
Confirmed 8 spaces per tab.[glow=color,strength,width][/glow] As before, the last two are nonfunctional on B12. I think that there might have been another iteration of the tag with different content (i.e. specifying both text color and text glow color), but TBH it's hazy as fuck in my memory.

Flying Dice clearly stated that the colour parameter in the glow tag applies only to the colour of the glow. So if you want to change the text colour, you have to add in a colour tag too (as you have pointed out). Thus the glow tag works like [glow=glowcolour.nothing.nothing]Text goes here[/glow]. Does that make sense?

There's 8 per "tab".
I tried copying in a tab character from notepad,
but it's not that big when displayed as a post.Code: [Select]It works okay in code tags.
Confirmed 8 spaces per tab.
Teletype is at least bigger than default.
Apologies, I think I misremembered. It's been a long while. The actual format for the glow tag we have isCode: [Select][glow=color,strength,width][/glow]As before, the last two are nonfunctional on B12. I think that there might have been another iteration of the tag with different content (i.e. specifying both text color and text glow color), but TBH it's hazy as fuck in my memory.
Yes (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142975.0)Wow, what else is there, extra fonts perhaps? Does anyone know of more smileys than the ones mentioned there, even they mentioned a ninja one.
You can create an indent in your post by using a bullet [x] that uses any code in it. For ex.You need a [/list] tag to stop it. [x] seems to work as an implicit [list].
- why hello
I said goodday
Good day!
Unknown how to stop.
Great stuff, very important. However the indent caused by a the bullet trick doesn't require list brackets for each item. It just does it.[list type=none][li]It

I aim to compile all the neat and useful stuff available to spice up your experience when contributing to these fine forums. Forum Games and Roleplaying (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=15.0) is one of the internet's most active hubs for forum games(I blame it on the fact that with how complex some game makers make the games, it takes Dwarf Fortress player's to derive pleasure in unraveling them), So I intent to highlight any code or tricks that may help with creating games, which should cover many more common uses aswell. So let's get started!I took this trick from Evil Lincoln and I think others noticed it when I used it in my RtD (obviously biased by experience).

Missing LimeGreen, plus transparent, isn't it?Ah. Had thought that worked, myself, posted it in (on Mobile) and found it oddly behaved (tags 'absorbed' and non-visible as if parsed, unlike [codswallop]non-working tags[/codswallop], but no effect arose) and thus removed the suggestion from my intended post.
Adding [abbr=Abbreviation][/abbr] tags makes sense too, though it doesn't work on mobile browsers apparently.

How in blazes does one make an avatar slideshow, with a new avatar every time the page is refreshed?If I were to do it then (given this forum's reliance upon an external image URL, anyway, rather than an uploaded-to-Bay12 one) I'd use a webspace that I own and control at the mod_alias level (or just otherwise lets me write a script-handler called with an apparent image extension, but runs as a script) such that I can use any trickery I want to randomly/sequentially/'interactively'-by-reading-HTTP-request-header-data-ly return something via a $cgi->header(-type=>"image/gif"); sort of configuration...

A lot of webcomics allow you to click on the image to go to the next part. I have and am currently making a webcomic in Forum Games & Rleplaying, and I'm not the only one to do so, such as MadMonkey's Losing Is Fun since 2017. Shoot, was doubtful but hoping it was possble already. T0ady0ne has expressed a willingness to the possibility of adding some forum mods. Perhaps if several people expressed an interest in a same tab image url mod, it could happen.

I have longed for links that optionally open in the same tab since I started my comic. I'd be interested in this mod for sure!
