Look at this beauty. Temporary Wittenberg! Hah, if only Q knew...

Thank you for your feedback. The new settings are:

• Font size 12
• Up to 5 lines
• 500 characters limit
• Up to 2 pictures
• Up to 100px height for each picture

By the way, thank you all for your kind words. They mean a lot to me in terms of being enthusiastic and committed to this job, although they are no good for my ego. (Especially Eðo. I did nothing to deserve a knighthood.)

Can we have the blob emojis from android on this? The default ones are meh

The emojis are definitely going to be replaced soon-ish, along with the other editor stock icons. Can't say much about what style I'll pick. (Talossa-themed emojis are definitely a possibility.)

I'm not going to comment too much on this as this is technically Chancery-land and not my call, but FWIW I agree with AD and Miestrâ. It's the same reason why the Civil Service has a single board.

Off topic, I have tried addressing complaints about table formatting. Now you can do stuff like:

[table border=number]table content[/table]
[td colspan=number rowspan=number]table cell[/td]

As a bonus, some HTML stuff is now available for BBCode (note: not sure where you would define a class...):

[div class="class_of_style" style="rules"]paragraph with style[/div]
[span class="class_of_style" style="rules"]text with style[/span]

In general, you can use class and style attributes with hr, img, li/list and table/td/tr.

An immediate example would be a "nice" 100% width table with a colspan:

[table style="width:100%;" border=1]
[tr] [td colspan=3][b]BIGASS HEADER[/b][/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]2.1[/td] [td]2.2[/td][td]2.3[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]3.1[/td] [td]3.2[/td][td]3.3[/td][/tr]
[/table]

[table style="width:100%;" border=1]
[tr] [td colspan=3]BIGASS HEADER[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]2.1[/td] [td]2.2[/td][td]2.3[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]3.1[/td] [td]3.2[/td][td]3.3[/td][/tr]
[/table]

I'm reverting it back to the original tagging-by-displayname, and if needed I can see if I can make the display name autocomplete more helpful

It's really too bad it works either/or. Now it's easier to find my name [...] but the links aren't there. And your name @L... doesn't autocomplete without the accent over the "u".

Yeah, that's what I meant by trying to "make the autocomplete more helpful", and also a reason why I preferred username tagging (before I found out that SMF essentially doesn't give a damn about regular username restrictions).

Yes, I originally set a 600 character limit (2 x the original 300 which was a bit short to account for image URLs and BB tags).

There is a separate line limit as well (which is currently uncapped) and I think a font size limit as well.

I'm happy to change any of those values based on feedback. Any suggestions on what I should set those to?

We found it very useful, a few times, for the Admins of the old Witt to be able to tell what IP address a post had come from.  To do this, we had to insert some code in the board's scripts, which ProBoards allowed.  I'd strongly recommend, if it's at all possible to do this here, that we do.

Yes, luckily on this platform IP logging is completely automated. Admins can see the source IP for a post immediately above the signature.

(Wait, can you see usernames if you aren't an admin? Hmm. Gonna check that now.)

No, we can't, so changing from the original mod might have been a mistake...

Right, and for the life of me I can't seem to find where to change that. I apologise for the inconvenience.

I'm reverting it back to the original tagging-by-displayname, and if needed I can see if I can make the display name autocomplete more helpful.

Edit: Should have now been reverted back.

I can't get it to work. @M. and @Miestr do nothing.

EDIT: I also tried @m. and @miestr, still nothing.
EDIT2: I can't see other people's username... uh, help?

Miestrâ's username is "garcamalpadert". (Wait, can you see usernames if you aren't an admin? Hmm. Gonna check that now.)

Interesting that it uses a BBCode enclosure. If you hover over people's names you can see their user number (u=##). In a pinch, you can find someone's U# and then tag people manually by number

Yes, that's how the mod works.

1) Search the text of the post for @<username> (the original mod, before my edit, was @<displayname>)
2) For each of those, find numeric ID and real name and replace the <username> bit
3) Send a notification and mantain DB tables with a list of seen and unseen mentions

Of course, if you do this manually, you are doing point 2) only. You get no notification that way.

Test:

@Lüc


EDIT: Nope.

@Lüc

EDIT: Yep. Careful: my username is "luc", so you'd have to type (at)luc or (at)lu and use the autocomplete thang.

Quote from: Eðo Grischun on December 06, 2019, 09:21:02 AMIt works, but we need to know the 'username'?  Someone tagging me would probably type Eov... getting no results, not thinking that my username is eddieg..

Well, your username is the same as the one on PB, so most people who tagged you there would know what it is. I agree with Miestrâ that tagging by username is superior - it's immutable and usually simpler to remember than an exact spelling (especially when you start putting titles in your display name).

To check someone's username, just head to their profile page.

Edit: Btw, Marcel's is "M. E. P. Tafial", which I dislike (look at those SPACES!), but oh well.

How does it work?

Just like on Proboards, the only difference is that the autocomplete is integrated.

Type an "@", then start typing the username (not the display name) of whomever you want to mention. An autocomplete list will then appear and you can select the member you want.

Once you post the message, the @<username> is transformed into a link to the profile and the user is notified.
