... with adding videos, images or elements from "MyMedia" to Forum Topics or Mod comments threads. I first thought that using the same BBcode lines as in the description page of a mod, like for instance: "[_center_]_[_youtube_]_CAk4FO8YtrU_[_/_youtube_]_[_/_center_]" (without the unscores of course) would work to display a clickable YouTube large thumbnail - but obviously that doesn't work. If I do that, the only thing which appears is a nicely centerd piece of text which displays the enigmatic and useless "CAk4FO8YtrU". :verymad: What am I missing? Or doing wrong? Same thing when I try to display a screenshot which I have already uploaded to the Nexus, by clicking on the "MyMedia" button up there, in the "search" box, whether I search for "video" or "screenshot" or "images" which all do appear on my Nexus profile, nothing ever shows up in the attachment... I'd really be grateful to anyone who can tell me exactly how to do this the right way? (I'd feel less dumb... :wallbash: ) Thanks :wink:

I noticed i can't make hide/spoiler boxes on my mods description page, I've tried [.spoiler]content and [hide=title]content[/hide] and neither seem to work, i don't know if is even BBcode but i know [hide=title] is and the files page definitely says BBcode works in the description. What's the deal? (the '.' in the spoiler one is so that it didnt make a spoiler box :P)

Just a simple question. I am making a list of mods and I realised that it's a bit long and hard to trace back where you are in the list if you leave the page opened for the next day. Is there a way to put a simple checkbox that does not affect anything just so that the user can check that this is done? Something as simple as I tried the " " tag but it does not work. And as you see the checkbox I want to add does nothing it's just for userfriendliness. And if a checkbox is impossible, would their be a more creative way to achieve this using other means? I thought of using spoiler tags but the spoiler tags take up an extra line and much more space and requires a heck of a lot more code on my side.

I find more often than not it would add an additional line break for every new line, add accented A's when quoting from mobile, sometimes simply not allow modification what so ever. In short the forum editor is simply wonky. Though more tedious and hassle driven (which with browser addons like edit can be mitigated to an extent), I find more success with bbcode editor that mod page offers. Is it possible to bring bbcode editor forum side?

I've recently noticed that there is now an option when creating/editing a mod page to view the description in BBCODE or in a closer approximation to the actual page appearance. I'm not sure exactly when this change was made (I only noticed it about a week ago), but I've now tried to edit a couple of mod pages using this new feature and both times the formatting has been incorrect. The problem I'm having is that paragraph spacing isn't showing correctly on the actual mod page. It will look correct while editing, but once saved, the spacing will be gone and the paragraphs will run together. This will happen regardless of whether I try to edit the page in the BBCODE view or the new editing view. This problem doesn't occur for every paragraph break, only some of them, but there is no visible difference in the page code that would indicate why some of the paragraphs are running together and other aren't. I've never experienced any problems formatting pages before, and I'm now reluctant to touch any of my other mods for fear of irreversibly messing up their current formatting. I doubt that I'm the only one affected by this, but some of my mods have rather lengthy description pages which means I rely a lot on formatting to keep the information coherent. I really like the idea behind the new formatting options, but I hope the formatting can be made to apply more consistently. Thank you. For reference, the pages I've attempted to edit and have experienced problems with are: Trade & Barter (under 'Trading Variables', "Race" and "Stolen Goods" should be starting new paragraphs, and also "Restocking Time" under 'Merchants'.) The Choice is Yours (there should be four separate paragraphs between the 'GEMS' badge and the Credits.
