Request change of a code

[f0xx]

Alright, I've been annoyed for a few rounds with the code [ID!xxx]

What I suggest is to make it work the same way as normal codes work.

[b]text[/b]

will give you bold text

[u]text[/u]

will give you underlinded text

and so on...

make it plain and simple [id]XXXX[/id].

i see no reason against it...but im forced to ask...why?

Re: Request change of a code

Well, I find it would be a better idea for that code to be the same as the others, no sense in making it different.

I keep forgetting the damn code just because it is different...

First thing a programmer (as Azzer) should know is that there is a lot of logic in programming. What is the logic in making a code different from the others?

Ahhh, there is the cunning of it! He has applied a set of random rules in a perfectly logical way to give the coding an apparent randomness!

I present this as proof of the Chaos Theory

timtadams, please take your spam elsewhere.

I do not know why must go to the manual and look for the damn code everyone I want to use it just because it is not coded smartly (logically). Ever heard about intuition? Everyone knows the codes for bolded, underlined and so on, it just makes no sense to make a code for an ID and then make it different than the rest.

And yes it is a small thing, just as it is a small thing that we do not have a "preview post" button in game. In the small things you can really see the brilliance of a game, or the lazy (silly) coding and at the end at the end when you have a lot of small things stacked you have one damn big annoying thing!

would have to agree with f0xx as i started learning coding and the beauty of it that it is logic so even if u dont know exactly what it is you can make a logical guess and using a previewer see if ur right, thumbs up from me!

Re: Request change of a code

like i said, see no reason against it...if your going to have something i guess it might as well be the same as everything else...no harm in it anyway

Re: Request change of a code

I'll be honest, I love the bit of code that Azzer has written to view IDs. I personally find it really simple and use it all the time, it's much quicker to type than to put [ID]****[/ID] and flows a bit better during typing personally. Plus it's easy to use the shortened version of an ID in this manner, which would be more difficult in your suggested form.

Don't change it if it isn't broken I say But that's just my personal opinion of course.

Re: Request change of a code

how about we change it all to the way ID works if we want uniform AND simpler...

Re: Request change of a code

I have t ... t ... to ... to agree with f0xx here

Was doing some stuff involving different code and i had to look up a fair few times what the correct way to do [ID!xxx] etc was.

Re: Request change of a code

I'd have to agree with f0xx as well, if only for the sake of continuing a logical trend.

Then again, I have no issue simply using my brain to remember the code.

Re: Request change of a code

i agree with garrett...

dammit this shouldnt be happening!!!

Re: Request change of a code

I agree with f0xx, following the standardisation of forum-codes would make sense, I'll see what I can do for Age 5.

Re: Request change of a code

I think it works ok as [x][/x] and [ID!1].

[x][/x] - For formatting
[x!x] - for bush stuff.

However, it will be cool if they were not case sensitive.
