General Forum Testing

None of these features, however, require the animations, the “real time” thread updates, nor the single “Latest” page that dumps all threads from every category into a single page, using the categories as a tag rather than a folder. I really, really hate the GMail style tags. I’m a linear thinker, a scientist, and a structuralist. I like my Legos separated by colour and dimension, and kept separate. This is the Lego equivalent of just dumping everything into the bucket, as far as I’m concerned.

Discourse is a post-structuralist forum application, and I’m a structuralist.

That has to be the most accurate and poetic disagreement with Discourse I’ve read so far lol.

Sooo …

Is there a Popup style spoiler? Where you can do your categories inside a openable box?

Oh, that is so true.

There’s no collapsing/expanding box spoiler thing in vanilla Discourse.

[ThornEel]

I’m sure it’s actually obvious, but how do you do that?

Could somebody find me a list of those hidden codes that don’t appear as buttons on the reply box?
It would be a good addition to my tricks and features topic.

[Kichae]

Wow, ok. I can’t help but think that having your mouse reveal the redacted text on a hover event is a terrible idea. It’s just way, way too easy to accidentally reveal the text.

[Lomsor]

I looked myself but couldn’t find a list … the spoiler thing was a shot into the dark.

Would be great to know all the possibilities.

[dekaku]

Oh so the forum is back online? Nice. Good to see old faces again.

[Replop]

Test ! nice to see the login issues fixed.
hop edit

[INovaeKeith]

They aren’t quite fixed yet :\

[Lomsor]

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

Some testing:

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.

[Lomsor]

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

Sadly no infinity sign.

found a bug

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

[Kichae]

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]

[hrobertson]

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

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

[Kichae]

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.

[Lomsor]

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