Temporary sandbox thread

If boo is short for booawesome I agree.

Edit: but I don’t care about avatars that much so if the only people who care want square I am fine with it.

Can you spare a square?

Easy image paste on phone. Cool!

Testing multi-quote. Very cool.

Testing quote from a different thread…

Cool–you can start a reply in one thread, navigate to a different thread, quote from that thread, and it will ask whether you want to reply in the original thread you started your reply or the thread you just quoted from.

I’ve deleted several test posts above–can anyone else read them or am I the only one that can see the orange pencil on the top right?
I like that the software noticed I was posting several times in a row and suggested that I multi-quote or @ other posters that I’m responding to in the same post.

Also will test the Flag button here–sorry to whoever gets those notifications :D
Can other users see that I’ve flagged this post for moderation?

I can see your withdrawn posts but nothing tells me you flagged anything, which makes sense.

goreo · July 30, 2019, 3:58pm

Here’s how your deleted post appears.

I think the 24 hour thing is so you can restore it if you change your mind. After that you won’t be able to see it nor will anyone else. I think there is a way admin’s can see all deleted posts, but I can’t remember how to do that right now

hokie · July 30, 2019, 4:29pm

Thanks! Looks like you can also see the orange pencil in the top right, which I assume allows you to read what I have deleted.

Slighted · July 30, 2019, 4:31pm

i dont get anything when i click the orange pencil on your post…

Testing multi-quote. Trivially easy!

Apparently you can INSERT POLLS INTO POSTS?

FYI, this is how you can do it.

Amazing

Sogge · August 2, 2019, 4:05pm

Not sure if BBCode-tables work, or markdown.

State	Hillary	Trump
CA	90	10
TX	48	52
FL	50	50

Ah, there were code-markers in the one i copy-pasted. :D

zikzak · August 2, 2019, 4:07pm

Markdown	tables	work
cell 1	cell 2	cell 3

Haven’t written that part up yet in the wiki tho.

Sogge · August 2, 2019, 4:13pm

Yeah, I accidentally had code-markers around the table code. Works fine

By far the coolest thing I’ve discovered is that when you copy and paste it copies the formatting, too.

An Internet forum , or message board , is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.[1] They differ from chat rooms in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes publicly visible.

Forums have a specific set of jargon associated with them; example: a single conversation is called a “thread”, or topic .

A discussion forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: a forum can contain a number of subforums, each of which may have several topics. Within a forum’s topic, each new discussion started is called a thread and can be replied to by as many people as so wish.

Depending on the forum’s settings, users can be anonymous or have to register with the forum and then subsequently log in to post messages. On most forums, users do not have to log in to read existing messages.

I just copied that directly from Internet forum - Wikipedia and put quotes around it.
