Using TOTJO and some bbcode help

I don't have the answer to this, but have you seen the size of some signatures? (Not looking at anyone in particular... )

Tables are what are typically used in signature bbcode to place objects to either side.

Oh ok, thanks. I didn't realize this was possible with bbcode. :blush:

I'm having trouble showing that multiple quotes come from member A, as I address each quote, followed by the same thing for member B. In particular the quote="memberA" post=number code. This goes first and that first quote needs to be wrapped in quote-/quote code. So the 2nd quote also needs its own quote-/quote and so on, right?

When quoting member B, I start the quote="memberB" post=number code, followed by quote-/quote references. But I get something wrong as the result

Yes. when something starts with quote= it has to end with /quote

So if you have (quote="Member A" post=144965) you have to end it with (/quote). that is when you can start typing. then if you want to add in another quote, from another member, you just put (quote="Member B" post=3564) and end that with (/quote) as well.

I'm not sure if that helps you at all

Its more basic...

Just need:

that makes:

That easier?

I seen you like to do this for more clarity. To do this, you just have to close out the quote by adding to the end of the quote.

Then you have to start it up again by adding for the next section of the quote, so before you started to say "When quoting member B..." and then have at the end of the quote again. You type what you want after that. It makes the flow so much easier.

Also, if you want to have "Member B wrote:" you just put or copy and paste their opening quote code.

Sorry for the double post. I meant to put this one instead of my last rushed answer. You can delete the previous one if it helps. I think this one is a better answer, even though Jestor's was simple to understand.

And, if you could read all my posts, you'd see I get stupid...

Such as:

So, I was talking to Ren, the Magnificent, and he wrote: jestor is a dork

So, offended, jestor wrote: Yea? So is your haircut!

I'm rather serious lately, but, I get silly!

Hahaha...

Edit; I'm a bit slow, see above

They 'nest' like; here is three levels of nesting;

Which would look like;

A;

B; inside A

C; inside B, which is inside A

But the idea is that the new post is not within quote brackets, so a common one is to just have two levels. Anymore then 2 levels gets a bit over the top in regards to the amount of space used... usually 2 levels is enough to make conversation easy to follow.

Which if I got it right, would look like;

Don't forget the "...

You put [Member B] like that, and the "B" won't show...

It worked for me...

Thank you so much guys, was giving me a headache, and now I realised you need to edit your posts for correct nesting within the hour. I use the tapatalk mobile app so we don't have preview option. now I know what to do, things will be easier to be clearer

Huh, I stand corrected, lol....

I don't think it used to... I had things "drop"...

Maybe an upgrade fixed it, its been a while, lol...

Right on, thanks!!

I stumbled on it, so I guess I got lucky.

It's not about the bbcode, but the Using TOTJO part.

Is there any way to modify the system clock? Several of the forums I am or have been part of allow you to change the clock to your timezone. The clock here (in the forums) is 4 hours ahead than my timezone, and sometimes, it confuses me.

I don't know the answer... but I do know that having the forum run on one time makes it easier for announcements to be consistent.. if everyone is running announcements to UTC time, then everyone knows what their time difference will always be. If someone posts announcements in UTC, others in CST, others in EST, because everyone's forum clock is different, it's going to get confusing.

If I remember right, the first site had that option, but, we begaun tightening it (the site) up...

IF I remeber correctly, Edan, you are right...

We all have the clock either in the lower left corner if on a PC, or somewhere in your notification bar if mobile...

So, since TOTJO doesnt really sleep, we use UTC for temple stuff....

I know Elizabeth and Edan is +5 or +6 ahead of me, Alex too... Adder is approximately +14, so when its about 2-230 my time, he is around * am (roughtly, its morning there, lol...), KItsu Tails is an hour ahead of me, Wes and Brenna same as me...

Firewolf IS Pacific, 666 is Central, but in South America, Den385, uh, i dont know, lol, I have not tried too hard for him yet, lol...

But, I tell you, it takes years for me to know even that much, lololol....

Is there a bb code to get a picture as signature? And a link but as just a word?

You can use regular bbcode in your signature - just write it on the forum with the editor if that helps, and rather than posting it, copy it and paste it into your signature field on your profile.

Bear in mind signatures have a limited number of characters (as you can see from mine, the limit is quite high )

So forgive me if this is asked elsewhere. I haven't found it if it is. Why do I have the option of posting or replying in some threads but not others? It doesn't tell me I can't post. I simply don't have any buttons to reply.
