Re: How To...
Hey Dave!
Do you know if the process for moving an entire topic into another thread has changed?
I used to store all of the completed missions in my BSI game into a "Completed" thread, but I no longer see the option to "Move Topic".
Thanks!

Re: How To...
The little judge,s gavel at the bottom left (on my screen) doesn't have that option for you Rob?
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Re: How To...
What Ron said.
Do you see the 'Move topic' option in the 'Quick-mod tools' grouping?
If not, let us know and we can look into it.

How to ...
Sometimes I want to link to a post or comment, not quote it but point folk to it. It is that blue and underlined feature but I am not familiar how to create that.
I am obviously missing something easy but not sure what icon, mod tool or menu it is found.
Thanks.

Re: How To...
Two ways:
1. You can click on the number of the post (for example in your post above, it's #7) and a box will open up with the link. Copy that link and paste it where you want it.
2. You can click on the Subject of the post (for example in your post above, it's "Re: How To..." and then copy the link right out of your address bar at the top of the webpage.
Hope one of those help!

Re: How To...
Here is a link to your post, without quoting it.
Now, how to accomplish this:
Now, how to accomplish this:
- There are a few ways to get the actual link to the post you want to link to, but maybe the easiest is to click on the post number (e.g. #7) to the left of the poster's username:
- This will open a modal window with the URL to the post already highlighted. Just copy (PC: Ctrl+C or Mac: Command+C) that:
- Next, highlight the text that you want to appear as the link (e.g. "link") and press the 'Insert URL' button:
- This will wrap a 'url' tag around the selected text:
- Inside the opening 'url' tag, add an equal sign (e.g. "=") after the literal "url" text (between it and the closing bracket).
- Paste (PC: Ctrl+V or Mac: Command+V) the URL you copied in step one (this should be immediately after the equal sign and before the closing bracket; no spaces):
- When you preview your post, the selected text that you added the link to will appear as a link, which will direct the user to that linked-top post.

Re: How To...
Can I right justify numbers in a table? Or left justify headers?
Header | Using "th" |
---|---|
10,000 | using "td" |
10 | using "td" |
Above numbers left justify by default | using "td" |
Re: How To...
I've been playing around with a few different styles and haven't been able to accomplish it.
I'll ping Greg.

Re: How To...
I'm pretty sure I can modify the BBcodes for these so that you can specify an alignment as well. I'll work on this tomorrow morning.
Thanks for your patience

Re: How To...
I've added a new BBCode: align.
You can just put the values within this new code. Hover over the align option to see values you can use: left, right, center, justify
Here's a simple example
Try it yourself
