Cool Uses For These Codes

Linked Image (click to go to whatever is linked)

Code:

^Shortened the links because it would be way too long if I used the original links

Other

This is an unordered list
- <---That is called a bullet
- Bullet 2
- Bullet 3

Code:

This is an unordered list

<---That is called a bullet

Bullet 2

Bullet 3

^Horizontal Rule (fancy name for a line)

Code:


^Horizontal Rule

Broken Codes

This is supposed to be an ordered (numbered) list
- <---That is supposed to be a number
- *sigh*

Code:

This is supposed to be an ordered (numbered) list

<---That is supposed to be a number

*sigh*

Its supposed to look like this:

This is an ordered (numbered) list
1. <---That is a number
2. Number 2

Table

Code:

I would put how to use this but somebody didn't implement it correctly -_-

Example of the code (if it worked):

Code:

[table]

[tr]

[th]Name[/th]

[th]Age[/th]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]John[/td]

[td]65[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]Gitte[/td]

[td]40[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]Sussie[/td]

[td]19[/td]

[/tr]

[/table]

But this is what it looks like.....

[table]
[tr][td]
[th]Name[/th]
[th]Age[/th]
[/td][/tr]
[tr]
[td]John[/td]
[td]65[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Gitte[/td]
[td]40[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Sussie[/td]
[td]19[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

It should look like this:

Name Age
John 65
Gitte 40
Sussie 19

So, it kinda works, but not really.

Some Codes That I Think Should Be Added to the Forums

Spoiler Box
-Would hide content from the reader until they choose to have it displayed
-Would be useful to discuss some sensitive events or to hide unnecessary/extra content on posts

Code:

[spoiler=(name of spoiler box)]Content that the writer wishes to hide[/spoiler]

YouTube Video
-Would make it easier to share videos from YouTube with others
-Can be put in a Spoiler Box so it doesn't take up a lot of space

Code:

[yt=(youtube video code)]

Fitted Image
-Would fit image size to the forum page dimensions
-Would make images smaller so viewers don't have to scroll to the side to see the entire image

Code:

[simg=(url of image)]

Please let me know if I got any of this wrong, thanks. I hope that this helps some people Big Grin

Re: Useful Things To Use On The Forums - astralaether9 - Mar 7th, 2014

I agree with you on the fact that spoiler should be added and that tables should be fixed, but zeedin won't do it for a looooooooong time
