Title: Shoutbox tips & etiquette
Post by: Statik on June 14, 2013, 03:24 PM
Hello every1. Sometimes I see people inserting big images and videos into shoutbox, but it's hard to see/watch them. I hope they will read this topic :)


1.
When inserting an image that is wider than 200px use the following code:
[img width=200]http://image_url[/img]
You can also use height=x if an image is "long".

To open a full sized image, right click on it and select "Open image in new tab/window".

2.
Don't insert [ youtube ] video. Post a link instead. People won't watch videos in the shoutbox anyway.

3.
Use spoilers to hide big content (or erotic images, or any images ideally):
[spoiler]Hidden text there[/spoiler]

4.
Don't use shoutbox instead of instant messages. If you want to talk with some1 else, then type:
/msg MonkeyIsland
It will open a "personal shoutbox".

5.
If you are inserting some really long link, then you can use some service to make the link shorter, e.g.: http://tinyurl.com/ I would not recommend to do it (some people don't trust such urls), but there are some cases, when it's a really good idea (e.g. huge google map link).

6.
Post more cat gifs, I like them ;)

My ISP allowed your pic, but blocked Kaleu's. So I didn't see it. Which one is Kaleu's?

@ Statik: Amen.
Gets a bit annoying having to scroll to see the image
One argument though: Enough with the cat gifs, they suck :/

Well made a fix for images. If the image width is bigger than the shoutbox width, system will auto correct the size and put a link for the image to view its original size.

Propper shoutbox ettiquete would be too send whosoever posts such a degrading satanic work in the fire so they may dissolve in a great smoke..Ashes to ashes..

There are sometimes when it is adventagous to post your'e PM in shoutbox..Especially vs vermin like Zippo and crash that will try to claim they where being imposterd..

Well the point of the shoutbox is not having to click anything to read it, or else a forum post would be better.
