Preview Post 

  1. Hello! I am writing this thread to address somewhat of an issue in todays forums. 

    The issue would be the BB Coding and Picture Sizes. Sometimes, they would not go how we want them to! ?

    There are people out there in the community who just do not fully understand BB Coding and tend to mess up frequently. There are also new forumers who see the pretty Coding in forums and want to try it out for themselves but screw up as well.

    As for pictures and GIFs, sometimes, they are simply too big as a post and then we all have to scroll around the thread to view the entire picture.

    So I propose the idea and implication of Preview Post. 

    The idea is very simple; The person posting BB Codes or a picture/gif would have an option to view their post for any errors or typos, etc, before posting and would have a chance to fix their coding before looking silly and noob-ish. 

    People who often have mistakes in their posts could fix them and people posting pictures could resize them.

    Now, if this option were to be implicated, there could be less threads having to do with people seeing if they could or could not do BB Coding, or if their pictures work.

    Thoughts on this? 
     
  2. I like it.

    Support.
     
  3. Can do this from computer forums if you have access.?
     
  4. However if people would pay attention they could also just use the preexisting bb code threads to practice.
     
  5. The community can't do this, Roy ?
     
  6. True .
     
  7. One thing people CAN do is use this handy new image tag:

    This automatically resizes images to fit on the device you're viewing the forums on.
    It's very nice and much appreciated when you use it to submit your pics for the egg decorating contest ;)
     
  8.  Wow. PimD responded, not Pimd_C. This thread must be important.
     
  9. One problem solved! 
     
  10. I explain the [imgfit ] [/imgfît] in my picture posting thread called guide to imgur.

    There are a couple other picture posting guides along with a huge bb code guide, and anyone who still doesn't understand, feel free to ask me any questions on BBcoding.

    I do support the preview option, though.
     
  11. I always use the more complicating way of using photobucket and pics art cause yolo.?

    But sure, support, I guess.
     
  12. Since we gat pimd's attention, i would like to take this time to simply ask


    How in tarnation do you log on to the online forum on computer??
     
  13. I believe only devs and mods are able to log onto the online forums. :)
     
  14. I think so too, which is fucked, cause its aneasir way to post pics
     
  15. Then apply to become a moderator if you have a scratching desire to log onto online forums. :lol:
     
  16. Its like a tough spot that u vant scratch considering ive only played since february
     
  17. 6 months of experience required for mods
     
  18. Well then I guess you'll have to live without posting online...but I think you'll make it.
