Escapist User Guide to Posting Commands

[Waif]

Always good to see this thread, it should be stickied IMO. The commands are indeed invaluable to users from either end of the spectrum. Thanks again for making this .

Huh, I was going to do one of these a while back. Damnit I knew I should have.

Anyway, good job, hopefully it helps people.

No problem guys

Still very good, by the way. I've found a few you don't have up, though.

[ul]
[li]Bullet points. Use [ul] at the very beginning,[/li]

[li]then [li] at the beginning of each line with an [/li] at the end of the line,[/li]

[li]and finally, a [/ul] at the very end.[/li]
[/ul]

[ol]
[li]Using the same method, you can make numbered points.[/li]

[li]Just replace the [ul]'s from above with [ol]'s.[/li]
[/ol]

• Also, lists.
  They're much simpler, with only using [list] at the very beginning and [/list] for the end.
  [li]Remarkably, using the [li] [/li] method on a list will create bullet points.[/li]

If you check the index I have up - I am aware of those posting commands - just never got round to putting them up because of laziness ninja robot ducks attacked! I'll add em thx for the reminder

when i do the insert image, all i get is a small box with what looks like a small landscape with "image" next to it, in the post it shows that, not the image...i think the url might be a teeny bit off but i dont see how, maybe my computer is just plotting against me again.. *sigh*

 

[zombiesinc]

Fantastic! I even learned a few things.

Thanks.

 

[Broken Orange]

This is quite easier to understand the one that The Escapist had made. keep up the good job.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

thanks for the help!

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

This is definitely helpful, also the most complete and easy to understand list I've seen.

Well done good sir. I would recommend this be stickied if it isn't already.

I recently found out by myself that you can add videos from video.google.com (or whatever) with [ googlevideo= ], much like you can use [ youtube= ]. Also the videos that are posted by for example Yahtzee or Rebecca Mayes here on the Escapist is [ video= ] or something like that. But I couldn't figure out how to actually post your own videos. Probably restricted.

You can't post your own videos here, you can only upload them onto another site (such as Youtube) and post them from there. You can also post videos from Vimeo and GameTrailers with [vimeo=] and [gametrailers=].

Yes, naturally. It's just that when I made a thread, I tried [ video= ] and the videoplayer Escapist uses came up, but I'm sure nothing can be done to actually add a video to it.

I know how - there is a way - however the moderators don't want everyone knowing all the video embedding codes hence their exclusion and some other BBcodes from the guide

Thanks a lot. I could never figure any of this stuff out but now I get it.

[DayDark]

I don't understand the [ youtube= ] , could someone make an example?

Youtube original url something like www.youtube.com=3892387dk@
If you want it in the post it, make it

 

[DigitalSushi]

As people have mentions this has been done before. But this one is very informative, i didn't know all about right aligning image. One of these types of threads needs to be made sticky.

sadly it will never happen :'(

We don't need it stickied, its a good way for the community to look after itself, I mean when a newbie shows up and the users dazzle them with their blinding BB coding skills they can point in the right direction of this thread like good users.

Group hug everyone!.
