New News in BBCode

Fifthfiend · 09-10-2009, 01:48 AM

So resulting from our long, long, looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong (long) discussion about spoiler tags we have some new forum features.

1. The standard [spoiler] tag and its conveniently shortened cousin [ss] have been adjusted so that in addition to a click revealing the spoiler, a second click re-hides the spoilertagged text.

Try it yourself! wordswordswords

2. We have the new [swap] tag which can be used for large spoilers or oversized images or passive aggression or whatever use you feel you have for it. To use it just type [swap=wordswordswords]different words![/swap] and it will display as follows:

wordswordswords

Clicking the blue-backed text will... follow this closely now... swap the text following the equal sign with the text between the tags. A second click will re-swap the text.

3. All on-page instances of either tag can be automatically cleared or re-applied by clicking the "Click here to hide"/"Click here to unhide" line at the top of the thread.

The first click will reveal all hidden text on the page, and your second click will auto-rehide all revealed text.

...Not text that's hidden by good ol' [color=#111111], though. You're on your own with that one.

We hope these new features will make for a more enjoyable and productive foruming experience for you, the NPF community.

This all seems incredibly convoluted and pointless.

Yes, but does it work on pictures?

I hear it does weird things if you put them inside each other.

Kyanbu The Legend · 09-10-2009, 02:13 PM

cool

Go easy on the nesting when you're using this in the field, okay guys?

synkr0nized · 09-10-2009, 02:16 PM

I'm pretty sure that if you guys start nesting shit with this new tag that I will hate you all even more.

Thank you everyone who took my efforts and immediately jumped on their one shittiest and most ridiculous application.

You guys never let me down.

On the bright side, you can't swap an image with another image.

So there's a hassle you won't have to put up with in the future.

I actually have a legitimate reason to use your new tag in the near future, but I felt I'd better do this first just to punish you for not locking this thread.
