I like not knowing about hidden things sometimes. What would be the point of hiding them otherwise?

Wait, what?
I mean... Wait..... WHAT?
That's some serious Catch-22

[My Name is Immaterial]

Oh yeah, and if you're not using Darkling as your theme you should be.
Profile->Modify->Look and Layout->Current theme (change)->Darkling.

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?

[Orange Wizard]

You can block it with Adblock, etc.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Since I don't use Adblock (I prefer Ghostery), what's the etc.?

[Orange Wizard]

Anything that lets you block specific scripts or elements on a page. I would assume Ghostery can do the same thing, although I don't know anything about it.

[Starver]

Just in case nobody has said this (didn't appear that anyone had), clicking on "Help" (on the tabbed "Home... Help... Search..." etc bar, above the Forum hierarchy line and below the News/Guidelines block) gets you a page with a link to the http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Bulletin_board_code that...  oh.

Someone poke the SMF admins, perhaps...  It looks like they've at some time upgraded their Wiki software and not checked their old pages are compatible with some of the back-end 'internalesque' Wikicoding being used.  (Like the {{#set...}} stuff

Which means you now have to dig a little, but pages such as http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Category:Bulletin_Board_Code give you (a subset of) the kind of thing the method I was trying to tell you about should have given you.

I actually find [nobbc] to be especially handy for instructing others some code bits, without needing to screw around with writing differently. Now it can be copy-pasted/read properly, if someone's in the dark about it.

Like instructing formatting and such.
[i]like[/i] [b]so[/b]

And without:
like so

EDIT:
Actually, it helps for any forum games and the like to use as a pre-formatted setup for submissions for succession games and the like.

Example direct-copy/paste form (great for let's plays like XCOM):
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Class:[/b]
[b]Bio:[/b]

Then again, [code][/code] works just as well, if not, better.

Code: [Select]

[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Class:[/b]
[b]Bio:[/b]
And then others can post like this:

Name: Itnetlolor
Class: Freelancer
Bio: Does what comes to mind.

Basically, reduce the amount of work other posters need to do.

Wow! Good stuff. Should we have this stickied.. somewhere?

[GameBoyBlue]

Here is a list of forum colors, but I think many might still be missing: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp

[color=rgb(136,136,136)]Gandalf[/color] [color=rgb(255,255,255)Gandalf[/color]

Gandalf Gandalf


[color=blue]Ranger[/color] [color=darkblue]Ranger[/color] [color=lightblue]Ranger[/color]

Ranger Ranger Ranger



Q: How to wrap text within a certain distance?

[Starver]

Personally, I prefer hexadecimal sextuplets/triplets.  You generally know what you're going to get, with them.  (Like the rgb()ing, above, but IMO neater.)

**********************************************

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.)

Q: How to wrap text within a certain distance?

Not entirely sure what you mean by that, there's always the way to
[br]eak a line artificially, although it respects an actual line-feed, unlike raw HTML, but can sometimes be

most interesting

useful forms

in of

various tables...

Code: [Select]

[table][tr][td]most[br]interesting[/td][td]useful[br]forms[/td][td]in[br]of[/td][td]various[br]tables...[/td][/tr][/table]

That's my biggest complaint, right there.

ok, here:

wrap text challenge:

Run on sentence that just runs on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on, but does eventually end.

Make the above sentence:

A) Wrap to the width of this image:



B) Wrap to this text:
<----------------------------------------------------->

C) Wrap to a width of 300.

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.

...and would help it not spread out so much on larger monitors. (This is annoying if there are just a few sentences longer than others, manually broken though they will become 'choppy' on small monitors.

This:
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and
on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and
on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
and...

Looks like this:
And on and on and on and on and on and on and
on and
on and on and on and on and on and on and on
and on
and on and on and on and on and on and on and
on and
on and on and on and on and on and on and on
and on
and...


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.

This thread. This thread is pretty cool. I'd support a sticky! So convenient.
