  • VB code in CivGroup news submissions

    Ok, just tried to insert a few links when posting some news using the usual VB code used in the forums. Unfortunately the link didn't take and I've got html all over. What am I doing wrong???

    You can only use html for posting news. If you want to insert an smilie, you have to check it's direction and use :

    PHP Code:
    <img src=******************.***> 
    for saying something.

    So, now is the time to get some html lessons

      Hey, that's great, but VBcode is based on HTML.

      Click here to visit the vBulletin forums

      And I'm not really concerned about smilies, just linked messages, which have been used before in other News posts.

        Hi Harry,

        I can tell you for sure:

        VBB is not supported for news-items. Only HTML. So with using VBB you are doing something wrong

        Actually the appointed news-editor for your newsgroup shall have discovered it and changed it. (not sure where you tried to post though)

        And you can find a number of good links on the web to improve your html-experience

          He IS the appointed news-editor. For the Scenario League CivGroup, to be precise (as his sig mentions).

          ... And if I can be of any HTML assistance...

          <a href="http://www.some_fancy_link.com">the linked text</a>

          <img src="http://www.image_location.com/the_image.gif" alt="short image text (if images are turned off)" title="text displayed when hovering over the image">

          The title="" is not required, the alt="" should be but often isn't used either.

          And you can of course nest them as well, that is, put an image within the link tags to create a linked image.

            then he shall have known before

            Never mind

              Thank you Mercator.

              And thank you everyone else for being condescending.

                vB code was choosen not to be supported in the civgroup news to be in line with the standard news system, and not limit abilities for tables and others in the news. Only HTML is supported.
