When did Renderosity stop alowing html??? I use a blue color every once and awhile for something fantastic, not big OR anything.. oh well..sighs sometimes new rules come too easily and without the consensus of the members.

Are you sure?

Phil - DreamstoGo means the gallery comment field. I just tried it and got this:

Form validation error

You may not insert < > symbols or HTML into the comment field.

Please press Back, correct the errors, and try again.

I think that's conclusive. As you can see, it still works in the forum. ;)

I guess someone must have misused the feature, so now we all have to put up with plain text comments. Shame.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<----- ahh I see <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<------ OK <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<----- fair enough

:)

I think this is exactely why. People sprouted bouncing, scrolling, flashing, U name it, messages in the galleries. Still I think it's a shame they cut it out. Oh well.

How do you do the scrolling? I don`t even know how to do the different fonts and the coloured writing.

And here's how you do colour.

Thank you, so I suppose the scrolling is done with java or something similar?

But please don't do text in blue or red on black. It's hard to read.

Blue
Red or Black?

OK

EnglishBob, & l t (without the spaces) and & g t (no spaces) give you < and > symbols. But you have to get it right first time - no previews ;-) Or just attach the post as a text file.

?

Personally, I always found scrolling, colored, oversized comments annoying, anyway...

;-P

ok, enough with the HTML tricks
you're making me dizzy..;) Message edited on: 08/17/2004 12:05

This server doesn't support the marquee tag, whether up, right, left or down. Unfortunately, it does support javascript scrolling. Gracias a dios that nobody has used it yet! At least the fiendish blink tag has the virtue that it no longer works in most browsers.

And whatever you do never
forget to close your tags. I'm sure you have seen pages of text like this and
wonder why. Well now you know, the person that wrote the page opened an anchor
tag but for got to close it again.

EnglishBob, layingback: I use the &ltxml> tags to display HTML examples.

Y'know, we have an HTML forum here at R'osity ....

? ;)

but without the < >(it won't even allow the characters to be used in that order, I checked), it's kinda hard to do anything html..and using a tag without the closing tag is just not well-formed..;) at least it works here..I can drop quotes with the best of them the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about
-Oscar Wilde..;)

Mateo Sancarlos.. Uhm this server doesn't support the tag?! Er... that's the one we've been using. How come it works then?

But I can't make it accept any javascript though...

I think I'm getting motion sickness.....rraaalllpphh

?

?

? ? ? ? ?

.. bunch of crazies..

Weeeeeeeeeeee! :o)

?

good gravy!... you should see my poor curser quivering... in this nice safe text box where I'm not going to do anything unnatural to it.

Anyway, I didn't know that the html had been stifled, but will have to breathe a sigh of relief. Some of those comments were ricochetting off the walls or vibrating so hard, that they took away from the art. Eyes are attracted to motion.

I don't like flickering banner ads, either, when I'm trying to read. Black doesn't show on dark purple very well, but at least it doesn't jump. ;^)

blinks i swear i thought hauksdottir is a guy ...

LOL!

• will address hauksdottir as "hauksson" henceforth *

:pfffffft!: hmmm... wasn't that Doc Legume who managed to encode musical effects in his comments?

Yes, much to the annoyance and/or amusement of others. I don't know if the good Doctor pulled that trick in the galleries, but I recall a few occasions here in the forums, especially the old OT forum in particularly lengthy going-nowhere threads.

Remember when someone (not naming names) discovered how to insert background images behind the thread text? Something nice, bright, and high-contrast flowery, that made it impossible to read anyone's posts?

I missed that one! I really hated the too-too-decorative backgrounds in the old Duellist magazine... made the text impossible to read. The WotC art director was a total jerk who never learned some basic design principles... such as having the design serve the purpose of the communication rather than the other way around. Even the Victorians weren't as fussily multi-layered. However, with a community as creative as this one, it shouldn't be a surprise that a few people figure out ways to get extra attention.

and blinding us at the same time? O_o have mercy on us poor souls.
