Site Questions

[Dog Firestack]

Still at vacation but when I get back on Monday I plan to make a massively large guide but I have to questions concerning it.

Is there any sort of limit with characters, words or anything else in a single post?

Is there anyway to make a sort of link that allows you to be taken to the section, like in the wiki with the contents you click it and it brings you to that section.

Thanks!

See you all Monday!

Is there any sort of limit with characters, words or anything else in a single post?

At least 10 characters per post, and you must wait at least 45 seconds to post.

I know what you are talking about, that is using HTML.

HTML is disabled for posts, but I can tell you how to do this anyway:

<a href="#idname">Something</a>

<a id="idname">CONTENT HERE</a>

Then you can keep adding those. What it will do is put # after the URL for the page, taking you to that specific section where the id is defined.

*Has no clue what he's talking about* Mind specifying on this? If your way doesn't work, can you open up the HTML code?

Here's an example of what you can use:

<a href="#name1">Name 1</a>
<a href="#name2"> Name 2</a>
<a href="#name3"> Name 3</a>
<a href="#name4"> Name 4</a>

You now have a navigation setup for all these, now you need to define what they are with an id.

<a id="name1"></a>
Put some stuff here
More stuff here if you want

<a id="name2"></a>
Do the same thing
Keep adding more stuff

<a id="name3"></a>
Do you get it now?
You should.

The '<a id' will define where to go after a link on the navigation is clicked.

And what Andrew forgot to mention is that the minimum is 10 characters per post. And you must wait 45 seconds between posts.

Btw, HTML doesn't work on posts. It's shut off. You have to use BBCodes which is limited HTML embedded into the forums. A full listing of BBCodes can be found at http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f....php?do=bbcode I believe you'll be wanting to use the anchor code to page down the post. It's fairly easy to use and that page has instructions for it.

A post may contain 50,000 characters. You can add 25 images per post. You can always use additional posts if you need more room.

If you're talking about doing what Andrew said but within a post, yes, there is a way to do this.


You can create an anchor point in a post with the [anchor] bbCode, say [anchor]sectionname[/anchor].

And then make a link to that anchor by using [goanchor=sectionname]Link Text Here[/goanchor]


For example if you were creating a guide, it could look something like this:

[goanchor=link1]Link 1[/goanchor]
[goanchor=link2]Link 2[/goanchor]
[goanchor=link3]Link 3[/goanchor]

[anchor]link1[/anchor]
[SIZE="4"]Link 1 Heading[/SIZE]
General knowledge of things that are great.

[anchor]link2[/anchor]
[SIZE="4"]Link 2 Heading[/SIZE]
Lots of awesome information here.

[anchor]link3[/anchor]
[SIZE="4"]Link 3 Heading[/SIZE]
Crazy stuff you will not believe.

Then the result would look like below. Clicking on "Link 1" would take you further down the post to the section anchored off as "link1", "Link 2" to "link2", etc...

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3


Link 1 Heading
General knowledge of things that are great.


Link 2 Heading
Lots of awesome information here.


Link 3 Heading
Crazy stuff you will not believe.

Hope that answers your question. You can also find a list of all bbCode that's allowed on the forum here.
