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.

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.


EnglishBob posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 9:13 AM

That's interesting - that box that says "The message is in HTML, do not apply formatting"? It doesn't matter whether you check it or not, your message still gets treated as HTML. This is how you do the scrolling.

And here's how you do colour.



xantor posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 9:53 AM

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


EnglishBob posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 10:02 AM

Sorry, I can't work out how to enter HTML examples without the forum interpreting it. I'm sure someone will tell me. :)

Phantast posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 10:04 AM

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


PhilC posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 10:33 AM

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...

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.


PhilC posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 12:18 PM

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 go
t to close it again.

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



Little_Dragon posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 1:24 PM

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

pakled posted Tue, 17 August 2004 at 8:19 PM

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

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...

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. ;^)

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


Little_Dragon posted Mon, 23 August 2004 at 6:22 PM

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?



hauksdottir posted Tue, 24 August 2004 at 1:38 AM

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.
