[reply]/[answ] tags

[Pharaoh_]

Hey, instead of having a text that looks like this:

@DevilMaster, I like your idea a lot!

@Shillen_G, hm I might try that out, thanks!

@Evil_Cowboy, stop flaming the thread >_<

We can have an additional tags-function, that can be called via [reply]/[answer]/[answ]/[asr]/anything else, that looks like this:

This way, a quote-type tag will appear, and the user can submit the name of the person they reply to, [reply="Lane_Master"] and all of the texts can be smoothed out. This way, we can also avoid huge posts, that contain many quotes and the additional reply, by implementing a single reply-type tag. The button next to the name you reply to is a link to the post you reply to.

The color codes for the main text's color is #BDC95B (189, 201, 91) and the Reply base tag and title is #A4C956 (164, 201, 86).

Sounds like a good idea. Although, I think it should end in [/reply] aswell to make it more consistent.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Oh, hehe, those are alternative names. They are not the end of the tag. Of course they'd look like [reply][/reply],[answ][/answ].

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

I really like this idea

That would be a great adddition to the forum software

 

[Anachron]

What about just seeing an info box about the post you replied and when you click on it, you can see it? (Which also has an info box about the post that that is a reply to etc)

 

[Pharaoh_]

So, what will this info box will contain and how will it look like? I just used the default "arrow" button, so that it follows the pattern of the site, but please, explain.

 

[Anachron]

At first: Nothing, just an image.
When you click, it opens an container (Hidden element like)
Which also has another post, and you can click on that one again, to open even another post.

 

[Pharaoh_]

So it becomes like a multiple quotting within a hide-type source? Well, yeah, it's a good alternative I guess

 

[Anachron]

Yes, and its content can be loaded dynamically over AJAX so it wouldn't eat any bandwidth at all.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Good idea. Let's see what others think as well.

 

[Piwlady]

I like this idea, it would be really useful

 

[Squiggy]

Unnecessary.

blah?

[Miss_Foxy]

Maybe make one for a P.S box too, for those who don't really like PSes...

 

[Squiggy]

I have no words -.-

Also, make irony-tags for those liking to write ironically

 

[Linaze]

And retard-tags for retards!

 

[Pharaoh_]

Oh good, soon we will have the most productive thread ever.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

works as the equivalent of reply/respond/answer. So I vote no for this suggestion.

 

[Squiggy]

And retard-tags for retards!

That'd be awesome

 

[Anachron]

And what about Hacker tags for hacker?

 

[Hakeem]

And what about Hacker tags for hacker?

Real hackers make their own hacker tags.


I don't see how this is any different from quote tags. I can see implementing quote tag collapsing, but with vB that might prove a royal pain in the ass. Like trying to find which of the thousands of cogs in the clock is making it lose a second every 3 months.

Wait what? This already exists, and is called quote.
[.quote="Name"][/quote] .. why do you want it named something else?

Question

Answer


If anything, I'd wish the quoted text would contain the previous quotes at least one or two levels, so you don't have to look up the questions all the time. It's like:

"How's the weather, Jon?"
"Oh it's nice today, how about there, Sam?"
"What? I don't know what the hell you're talking about."
"The weather."
"What about it?"

 

[Pharaoh_]

Anachron, I expected more from you :/

Anyway, asked for this thread to be closed.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

[sarcasm/]I sense sarcasm in your words...[/irony]

 

[Deleted member 157129]

They are already implemented, Foxy, look:

Code:
My favourite colour is yellow.

Result:
My favourite colour is blue! _{No! Yellooooooooow!}



Ok, bad joke.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Let me try...

You're pretty funny.

HAHA WHAT A NICE JOKE!!*

*As If

 

[Pharaoh_]

*As If

I'd prefer *Not! in there.

Seriously, stop posting crap in this thread.

 

[Ralle]

The thing is. It is not always a reply. Sometimes it is a quote aswell and would be hard to just make people use cause I don't know if it is a quote or reply when you click reply/quote.

 

[Linaze]

Perhaps a random tag?
When you post, it becomes any of the existing tags.
Seems like it could be extremely useful for no one.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I was not calling a replacement of the quote tag, I was speaking of a simple implementation of a reply tag, it's not like you force users to use it anyway, anyone will use it whenever they want.

Linaze, please, don't become such a disappointment. Know when to stop and balance your irony a bit. Just... please.

And damn, close this thread, I reported it already and it becomes a mess as time goes by.
