General Forum Testing

Test ! nice to see the login issues fixed.

They aren’t quite fixed yet :\

So it looks like discourse Supports Markdown (primarly) and BBCode (partially).

Some testing:


Markdown:

HypelinkInline
Hyperlink10

Non auto image insert:
Test

Numbered List (Needs enter in front):

  1. Strange Type of list
  2. It Doesn’t care about the actual numbers in front.
  3. Lol.
  4. Straaaange…
    Lol More then one line nice.
  5. Test

List (Needs enter Infront):

  • Test
  • List item
  • Something
  • Anything
    • Anything under Anything
  • Back again
    • Up again
      • More up?

Works also with Minus sign:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
    • 3.1
      • 3.1.1
        • 3.1.1.1
          • 3.1.1.1
            • 3.1.1.1.1

                    - 3.1.1.1.1

Edit test.

You can do a lot more than that but I don’t want to publish how… I figure there is an inverse correlation between being able to work it out for yourself and the probability of making an abominable multicoloured page-breaking eye-sore post.

Code element is just empty line with 4 spaces before text.

Sadly no infinity sign.

Just checking some stuff … having some fun. Don’t mind me :smile:

Having some rather annoying issues with font colours and sizing. HTML shows up just fine in the preview, but doesn’t seem to actually save to the post. I haven’t quite sorted out how BBCode is processed. Multi-line BBCode colour formatting doesn’t seem to be supported.

Moreover, I’m finding that I sometimes have to re-fresh the page for colours to show up. They seem to go away if I switch browser tabs. This also happens after editing a post. Finally, the colours don’t seem to show up immediately after posting, either.

[color=red]Red[/color] [color=blue]Blue[/color] [color=green]Green[/color]

[color=#5599cc]JENI Blue[/color]
[color=#550000]Brown[/color]
[color=#cc9955]JENI Orange[/color]

[size=12]Size 12[/size]
[size=10]Size 10[/size]
[size=6]Size 6[/size]

With the next update we should be able to use <font color="#hexcode" size="number">

[color=red]multiple
lines using <br>
another line[/color]

That will be very, very nice. I find it very odd that that is currently supported by the preview pane, but not by the actual posts.

Sizes are litmited on both sides. The allowed range is form 4 to 40.

Oha.
The man himself shows up.

Hey @codinghorror , welcome to our humble corner of the internet =D. So far I’m very pleased with Discourse and it seems to me everyone else is as well =).

I have, and it and the topic list/category drop down menu has been a godsend. As I said (or tried to imply, anyhow), there’s nothing wrong with the software per se, but there’s a distinct personality conflict between it and I. Since I’m the sentient of the two of us, I’m the one having to deal with that, and the tools are mostly there to let me do that without too much fuss.

I thank you for that.

It seems to support some html, but how much html?

some Testing

do buttons work?

Edit: it would seem some things do not work, is there a list of what things will work?

Hey, I see that you are on 9.9.3 of Discourse – just letting you know that 9.9.6 was just released with some critical security fixes and, as always, new awesome features.

Sure thing I appreciate the update, I shall prioritize updating!

Hopefully before your code gets stolen or we have another forum software switch. :wink:

Bloody hell, I didn’t realise the man himself was following this thread :smile:

Pinned topics don’t display at the top of the groups.

How is the upgrade coming along?
