Tormented Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Pretty much the exact same thing as my quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 So, I've come up with an interesting idea... how would you guys like an "anchor" system for posts? What I mean by this would be a simple BBCode wherein by you could link to a part of text inside of the thread and clicking on the link would take you to the part of the thread. This could be useful for a Table of Contents and I can see it especially getting some use in RPs. Give me your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Tormy what happened to status update? Too glitchy? As for anchor, just seems like it'd make searching indv posts faster which is always nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 The BBCode stuff? It worked perfectly fine, just want to run it by the staff team and make sure they have appropriate rulings in place for embedded videos and images.

mitchermitcher Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Can it link to other posts in a thread? I'm imagining something similar to 4chan's reply system. It seems like a useful but pretty minor thing. If it's not a sheet ton of work for you and you want to do it, I don't think anyone'll stop you. Go for it.

Tormented Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Would need to be something to test, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work that way as it's per post but who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallohallo Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 The BBCode stuff? It worked perfectly fine, just want to run it by the staff team and make sure they have appropriate rulings in place for embedded videos and images.Might as well restrict it to members who have a certain amount of posts and more (if possible), cuz I don't want any bots spamming the forums.

I don't think I've ever encountered a bot that used BBCode and there is very little you can do with BBCode that is particularly harmful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atypical-Abbie Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 That would be nice, especially for my PSCT thread and rulebook thread, I have a list of contents already, but they aren't clickable so actually finding them is hard, unless you CTRL+F I suppose, but still, would be nice.

Hallohallo Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I don't think I've ever encountered a bot that used BBCode and there is very little you can do with BBCode that is particularly harmful.You can post porn. I haven't encountered either, but you know... just as a precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yeah, that sort of stuff obviously is a concern but the spambots are done to link to phishing/scam websites, I'm pretty sure they would get nothing out of posting porn. And I don't think there is a per-user group option, so It would just be a case of policing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I thought we could already do this by copying post urls and hyperlinking a word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I thought we could already do this by copying post urls and hyperlinking a word? Care to give an example? At the very least the new feature would allow it to be way more user-friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Don't think I can on mobile but https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/370314-site-changes-discussion/page-20?p=7083199&do=findComment&comment=7083199 That's a link directly to my previous post. It just needs to be hyperlinked and that's already pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ah, I see what you mean. It would function differently, not only would you not need to reload the page but it would allow for quicker linking (it's going to be semi-tedious either way but having it as a BBCode function would lower the time to link) Certainly, the above method would work, but the anchoring system would be easier. If it's not much work I'll take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormented Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Well, the consensus seems pretty positive overall, so I'll look into it. I've got a couple of things coming up on top of this but nothing too extreme so expect it soonish. I am looking into this Topic Description feature as well so that should be up as soon as I've got that sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have implemented a new button on the forum that will allow you to quickly create a new thread in any location. The location varies based on your theme but look for the "Start New Topic" button in the top navigation bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have also gone ahead and added a little separator between pinned topics and regular topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
