New feature

#1 Post by ToniXX »

I've added a new feature to the dice roller and the forums. You can now add your dice rolls to a forum post that looks like this:



You simply use the roll bbcode:

Code: Select all

[roll]222544[/roll]
and you will see it on the roll results page, shown below:
Post your thoughts about this here and if you have any suggestions on making it better.

What is the advantage? Keep in mind I am not a computer person.

Here's how it looks when you put the link into the post
To hit, battle axe: [1d20+2]=14+2=16, damage (s/m): [1d8+3]=5+3=8

It gives you everything you need, and you can click it to see the roll.

This alternate method looks like this


So there's not necessarily an advantage, but the new method is a little easier to read and stands out in the post

Interesting, will just try a couple of times and see what I end up liking. Thanks, options are always nice.

That really is cool.
