The Sandbox

******************************************************************************

7. Keep conversation open and free for all to join in

The Lovehoney Community is a place for people to talk openly about sex, life and all sorts of other interesting things. It is not a place for people to hold private conversations in public. This includes one-on-one flirting, 'inside jokes' and public graphic displays of affection. We have many couples who chat here, but we ask that they keep conversation open and friendly so as not to exclude other members.

Ah, I thought I’d found a way to get red text. :slightly_smiling_face: It shows up in the original, but will not work if posting fresh. Booo. :slightly_smiling_face:

Some Markdown text with <span style="color:blue">some <em>blue</em> text</span>.

Some Markdown text with some blue text.

And some red?

I am in Dauphin!


Nope seems not. Grr.

I had accepted it as not possible but now I’ve seen @Lovehoney_Jess_Wilde could do it there must be a way! :thinking:

This is the code you get if you quote Jess’ post. :slightly_smiling_face:

But I think it strips out the stuff it doesn’t like on publish, whereas the original was imported over so bypassed that input gate?

This is the colour color: rgb(201, 42, 73)

Sneaky!

I’ll give up again then and get on with formatting a Rebus… :jigsaw:

The email one doesn’t work so good.

It seems the colours have been disabled. I think it’s by default to stop people doing super funky formatting for no good reason. :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s what I tried @Ian_Chimp in my ā€œhope this worksā€ comment

I will admit. Although I’m not techy I’m loving trying the codes

I think the only useful bit out of all that bbcode blurb is the Underline , but you have to test these things out. :slightly_smiling_face:

I am so happy you posted this:

I had been getting really annoyed with the html not working while trying to format the current Rebus and knew I had had them working before. Your timing was perfect so thank you!

Yes they are currently pinned to my clipboard lol what am I looking for. Html markdown format

I am trying to get the html <img>tags to work, but it wants an ā€˜absolute or relative position of the image’. Do you (or anyone :slightly_smiling_face:) know what this means in practice?

Random code example:

<img src='/uploads/default/original/2X/6/621….jpg' width="100" alt="Image" />

I realised the above filename had been shortened for example purposes. The full one did work, but now I’ve forgotten how I did it. :slightly_smiling_face:

The Forum accepts 3 languages: Markdown, html, and bbcode. But it doesn’t necessarily do all of the things in all of the languages. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s okay with the easy things:

| | | |
— | — | — | —
Markdown | **bold**| bold
html | <b>bold</b>| bold
bbcode | [b]bold[/b]| bold

But it gets trickier when you want to do a swish Hide Details or a Table, as it doesn’t like mixing languages so much.

And not everything is enabled on this forum, so there’s a bit of guesswork. :slightly_smiling_face:

In a full web page you need to specify with an image where you want it to appear so you would make it a paragraph and maybe use the float command to have it to the right/left or centrally in text. You can also specifically fix it’s position to a point though on modern browsers and tablets/phones, the float command, I think, generally works better to accommodate different screens.

Is that what it wants? To be honest, I think you’re going to struggle as normal html image inserts require the image sizing to be input as a style line which obviously the forum doesn’t allow. I don’t quite understand your code example doing it without :thinking:. I am however, NOT AN EXPERT!!!


A lot of html is not enabled on the forum

I’d love different colours or fonts. Just for my own personal enjoyment

@Peitho your comment above… Too techy for me lol

I thought it was saying it needed a file route of where the image is stored?

To be honest, I can’t remember what I wanted it for. :slightly_smiling_face: I think it’s something to do with inserting a photo into a details summary? :thinking:

@Orgasm_Chaser :rofl: I used to be very techy with work stuff needing programming so knew how to do all the basics in Fortran and IDL and basic formatting in Latex so there is overlap… but that was a long time ago and things are different on the web!

I’m much happier driving tractors now! :joy:

@Ian_Chimp Ah, okay, then does it just mean the route in your source file is incorrect and it can’t find the image? This is going to be a hard one to experiment with without being allowed to instantly post pictures plus everyone’s src path will be different depending on their file system.

Very good point! I need to be elsewhere doing something now but will try experimenting later…

Sorry, its not an error message. It was a ā€˜guide’ I found explaining the difference.

Using HTML

Earlier versions of Discourse used the HTML syntax to insert images. This still works, but requires you to give a relative or absolute URL of the image file. The upload://… URL scheme does not work here.

Okay, I got it. You pop the link inside:

But now I’ve come back to it it’s massive. :thinking:

Edit: It’s because it’s converted it into a regular, non-html format. So I’ve lost the sizing info. This may be a non-starter. :slightly_smiling_face: It’s even converted the example too.


However, while I mull that over, I did realise that you can change the title of your photos in the regular Markdown format. Where it says ā€˜image’ at the start, you simply change that to whatever you want. :+1:

![image|200x200](upload://e0rkP88BOHMdp4Zcg9nXAjIt1hV.jpeg)

![Desire Wand |200x200](upload://e0rkP88BOHMdp4Zcg9nXAjIt1hV.jpeg)

So when you click on it (or mouse hover?) it says ā€˜Desire Wand’ in the caption. :+1:
