Do you think you could be a little more descriptive? You can like list main points of interest at the top of your post and become more illustrated for each one below the list.

GHELSEY

Congratulations on the 400 posts! Try to make your posts meaningful, though. I take into account of a person's posts by the ratio between posts and reputation. You have a ratio of 404/41, and it is currently the lowest ratio compared to all the staff, which they should have the lowest ratio (not counting regular members with negative reputation like iFreezer) because of the amount of replies or updates they must make. I'm not trying to make you feel bad in any way. I'm saying you should try to post things more than just, "mkay" or, "lol". Believe me, I've seen even your recent posts that do this:

Thank you for pointing this out! +1

I have a question for you, sir. How do you make the word when you click it a page appears?

I've made a thread about it shortly after you asked this question. The thread is, "Links, Images, and Other Tools".

A couple of people have been wondering how I've been able to show images or change words into links, so I've made this thread.

Fortunately, Damen has given us these tools already:



Here I will be going through each one of these tools.

The BB code "B" simply stands for bold. Bold allows us to make text look stronger and stand out more (which is why in HTML the tags <strong></strong> are also used to bold words). Usually words are bold to replace the use of capitalizing the words. Bold words can vary in usage from only one word to an entire paragraph (although they are commonly used for sentences). The tags for bold are "[ b ][ /b ]" with no spaces. The BB code "I" stands for italics. Similar to the BB code for bold, italics are used to make text stand out as well. However, italicizing words make them look slanted, not stronger. This allows emphasis into a word, to show that it's important, but not necessarily used as widely as bold. Italicizing usually occurs to only one word or a group of words. The tags for italics are "[ i ][ /i ]" with no spaces. The BB code "U" stands for underline. Underlining words is also used to make words stand out more and they are used for almost the exact same reasons as you would bold a word. The tags for underlining are "[ u ][ /u ]" with no spaces. The BB code "S is shortened for strikethrough. This means that a line is put through the text to symbolize that the text no longer has meaning. For example, if you looked up the U.S. Amendments, you will see certain amendments were taken down and never used again, but they are still shown. To show that those amendments are no longer under use, the document writers strike through the entire amendment. The tags for strikethrough are "[ s ][ /s ]" with no spaces. The BB code for Left, Center, and Right all determine the placement of your content. By default, everything is aligned to the left. If you want the content to align to the center, use the center BB code. If you want to align the text to the right, use the right BB code. It is imperative that you don't use align center for your entire discussion. While you may think it will look organized, it is meant mainly for titles or subtitles, not for paragraphs. Note that I said content, not just text. This means you can enter images in between the BB code and it will align to your choosing. Aligning left is meant for paragraphs, aligning center is meant for titles/subtitles/fancy article appearances, and aligning to the right is mainly used for languages concerning you read from right to left (you may never need to align to the right for this forums). The tags for all three of these in order are as follows: "[ left ][ /left ]", "[ center ][ /center ]", and "[ right ][ /right ]". The BB code for images simply allows you to post an image. Please note that only the actually image's URL is accepted, meaning that the URL you put in between the tags must have only the image on the page and nothing else. (see http://forums.damenspike.com/view/?id=7917 for more details). The tags for images are [ img ][ /img ] with no spaces. The BB code for links allow you to link any content into another URL. Again, the use of the word content means you can share images and have them linked as well, not just text. When text is linked, it will, in many cases, be light blue and underlined. In other languages, you can edit this by removing the underlining altogether, changing the color of the text, allow different effects to occur when hovering over the text, and much more. Note: This feature is currently not working on this forums. However, the forums does automatically make text linked if they start with the standard URL formatting. The tags for links are "[ url ][ /url ]" with no spaces. Please note that you must put [url=] for the first tag along with the link you want the content inside the tags to point towards.
The BB code for quote allows you to quote any other person's comment. For this forums, however, it does not tell you who the person is quoting. You must be careful about looking at quotes, because since the forum doesn't tell the name of who you're quoting, the person quoting can easily make their quote up (sorry for the overuse of the word "quote"). When quoting, the forums automatically spaces out text twice as much, so be careful on the length of the quote. You also can remove content from the quote if you meant to only quote a portion of the other post (see http://forums.damenspike.com/view/?id=6378 for more details). The tags for quotes are "[ quote ][ /quote ]" with no spaces. the BB code for code simply makes text into the style that you would see when typing in code for programming languages. This is commonly used when explaining code to someone, and although I'm explaining BB code right now, I won't be using it. It is unlikely that this will be used by many users either. The tags for code are "[ code ][ /code ]" with no spaces. The BB code for size alters the size of text. For these forums, the text can't go any lower than the standard amount. You can, however, increase the size of text to make titles and/or subtitles. The tags for size are "[ size= ][ /size ]" with no spaces. The BB code for color alters the color of the text. The colors can be identified either by their names or their hex code. A full list is:


from http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=331.0

You can color various characters at once, and can form a rainbow of colors for just one word if you chose to. The tags for color are "[ color ][ /color ]" with no spaces. Please note that the color name or hex code goes in the first tag as [color=] after the equal sign. The BB code for lists makes a list for your own use. This is probably the most complex code out of all of them, and can be altered to make lists that are unordered, lists involving numbers, and lists involving capital/lower-case letters. The tags for lists are "[ list ][ /list ]" with no spaces. To make bullets/numbers/letters, add a [ * ] with no spaces in between the tags for every point you make. The default list is in bullets, so to change the list into numbers, you make the first tag [ list=1 ], to make into capital letters you make it as [ list=A ], and to make it into lower-case letters you make it [ list=a ] with no spaces.


Hoped this help. I do realize there is some information missing, but hopefully you get the basics. I added plentiful information for lists just because it seems to be the one that requires the most detail.

Don't forget that you can message someone instead of creating an entire thread just to talk to one specific person. I've seen so many posts that would make the forums look like some chat in xat.

You can create your message here. To view your messages, click here

It would be nice to see some sort of link to a list of someone's posts, preferably on the player's profile page. I've been trying to see what certain people have been saying, and this would be a nice addition so I wouldn't have to scroll through every post.

For example, if someone were to see my profile page, they could see some sort of space where it could say, "Posts: Viewing Posts, Reputation...".

If you want to go into more detail, you could even include posts that are comments and not just links to a created thread.

I read all of your post. Can I be mod?

Sorry, someone took your place:

If you cant find the page listing the rules, simply click here.

I believe there should be a filter for any sexual language since this obviously seems to be the #1 rule people break.

The title of this topic speaks to me.

This is nice and all, but try to make your posts more organized and spell correctly.

Wait until Junior finds this.

Weeiii was a good moderator in the past with a great attitude. I believe if he becomes more active like he says, he should be mod again.

I just thought it would be nice to start a discussion to show all the possible channels available.

So just post a channel that you know is in the game. That's all.
