luis Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Can you please turn off flood control ? This phorum is never flooded and I can't post two answers without waiting 30 seconds. It's irritating :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRG Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 I haven't made enough posts yet to offer an expert opinion; however, I dislike emoticons in all except "live chat". I have always felt that prose does not need special symbols. One simply says what one means. Hyperbole and other ways of expressing oneself are part of using one's language. That said, so you know where I stand, I would gladly give up all the "Clickable Smilies" for the four suit symbols. I can see the suit symbols in Misho's post, but I cannot reproduce them on my Mac. By the way, test using "Preview" rather than posting!!! It is still early for passing judgement, but so far I prefer the new Forum software to the old. That may be partly that the appearance seems cleaner and crisper to me -- but that is largely a personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerardo Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I added a new line in the Tags section of the Posting pages, it has the Four Suits and a button for entering one hand (only 4 parameters, sorry).This is shown as a table, as we can define direct html inside these tags. Please try them and comment. 1♣2♦3♥4♠ Onehand, for now, doesn't allow modifications like this (HTML is not my strong suit). ♠ AKQ ♥ AKQJ ♦ AKQ ♣ AKQ Trpltrbl, please use them. Don't know what you use for the suits, but I can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 When use use one hand button, be sure to enter commas at the end of each hand. For instance.... the data for the hands below was entered as AKQ,AKQJ,AKQ]432 : except to separate diamonds from clubs use close bracket not comma. Not sure why the D symbol looks like a square on my computer, or why a bracked instead of a comma to separate minors. ♠ AKQ ♥ AKQJ ♦ AKQ ♣ 432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerardo Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Yes, it will show as [TAG=param1,param2,param3]param4[/TAG] when you click on it. Won't be shown that way in preview, nor in final version. EDIT: Corrected the glitch which didn't show the labels in popup input fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishovnbg Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi Gerardo! Thank you very much for addons and hope you to continue with bidding and playYou can include them simple way by single tags like "[bid_head], [bid_row], [play_head] and [play_row]" - there are only 4 parameters too. Try of new bridge symbols:♠♥♦♣ Try of new one hand script: ♠ AKQJ ♥ AKQ ♦ AK10 ♣ 1098 Comment: this simple try work well, but DI looks like square, like Ben's computer. Try of new bridge symbols, font Arial, DI=rhomb:♠♥♦♣ Try of new bridge symbols, font Times, DI=square:♠♥♦♣ Try of new bridge symbols, font Courier, DI=rhomb:♠♥♦♣ Try of new bridge symbols, font Impact, DI=rhomb:♠♥♦♣ Try of new bridge symbols, font Geneva, DI=square:♠♥♦♣ Try of new bridge symbols, font Optima, DI=square:♠♥♦♣ Comment: Trying different fonts shows mistake of displaying DI with some fonts. Suggested solution: change default font for all forum to Arial or Courier, or if it is not possible, at least add-on tags font, please. Trying "ONEHAND" script with different fonts, lead to error and corruption of post symbols of SP,HE,DI and CL, sorry, this must be debuged and corrected...

Gerardo Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Found the diamond thing is browser dependent: ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Arial ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Times ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Courier ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Impact ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Geneva ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Lucida ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Optima ♣♦♥♠ ♧◊♡♤ ♣♦♥♠ ♧◇♡♤ Verdana IE has problems with the Diamond Suit Symbol (it doesn't show well in the first two sets), while Mozilla shows the Diamond Symbol too big. For now, I left the Diamond Symbol, so it will show better in IE. Should I add buttons for the outlined symbols? The ONEHAND issue was fixed, but not all options work. I found FONT does work in IE, but not color (works above the hand, not after, not inside). Size doesn't work, change spacing but not actual size. Surely related to the fact ONEHAND defines a table, and some attributes has to be defined inside it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hidden text... Hey I can see cool applications of that. Quess what the first one of them is? To hide answers to questions until people want to click on them to see. Did you click on this answer to see it? Use your mouse to Select the entire white space above to see the answer.

Erkson Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hi. How can I insert some nonbreaking spaces between 1H and 1S in :1♥ 1♠ I would like to get 1♥ 6 spaces far from 1♠ TIAErkson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hi. How can I insert some nonbreaking spaces between 1H and 1S in :1♥ 1♠ I would like to get 1♥ 6 spaces far from 1♠ TIAErksonIn the old forum we had some font changes we could use to do this. Here I see only two options to put six spaces between 1H and 1S or 1♥ and 1♠ to change: example 11♥ 1♠ to... example 21♥------1♠, or example 31♥ 1♠ In the frist example I put in six spaces, like you did in your post, this shows up as only one space. Example 2 I used the hidden text option (one of the nice buttons) to put in text that doesnot show up unless you point at it with your mouse. The third example shows that in "quotes" the spaces that don't show up in example 1 are displayed. You can also see this by looking at the section of your post that I quoted where you six spaces magically reappeared. Note however, if you quote a section wiht hidden text, funny things happen. Like this....(see the dashes I used?) 1♥-------1♠ Which means people who quote your "bidding" in replies will have this ghost like thing in the quotes if they don't stop to replace the hidden stuff with real blanks. NOTE: don't use blanks as hidden text or the extra "spaces" still don't show up. Hope this helps. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTE: don't use blanks as hidden text or the extra "spaces" still don't show up. Hope this helps. Many thanks for the information, Ben. Normal HTML reduces always to one single space all series of spaces it meets.To avoid it one must use "hard spaces" (aka non breaking spaces) whose code is I think I found the way to insert non breaking spaces in these forum pages: the code is &-#160; (without '-' between first two signs. I had to put that '-' so that you see the code. If I didn't you would see only a space !).each &-#160; adds a hard space :1♥ 1♠ You probably remember :West North East South1H 1S 2N! 4S 5C Pass 5H Dbl Rdbl Pass Pass PassAs you see all spaces disappear with this normal HTML new forum software. With the &-#160; code the lining up reappears !The program now reads a .lin file and creates automatically:[hv=d=w&v=b&n=saqj53hj82dj63ct8&w=s2hakt95dq94ca964&e=sk84h7643dkt52ck5&s=st976hqda87cqj732]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv]West North East South1♥ 1♠ 2N! 4♠ 5♣ Pass 5♥ Dbl Rdbl Pass Pass Pass Before using the &-#160; I couldn't get a correct lining up of the auction.
