Okay, I’ll stop now.

[Bullitt]

Dizzying. Why stop when you’re on such a roll?

[GIGObuster]

Testing to see if reply is working.

mmm, it works here.

I had a draft not posting in Edge and in Firefox in Android in a different thread. Will try then to copy and create a new draft.

Testing whether twitter image links work.

1. Clicking through:
   https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPgzm0acAAvRi9?format=png&name=900x900

2. Within tweet:
   https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPgzm0acAAvRi9?format=png&name=small

3. Try again: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPgzm0acAAvRi9?format=png&name=small

4. <img>https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPgzm0acAAvRi9?format=png&name=900x900</img> Image tags produced an error, the ones above merely don't work.


5. [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxPgzm0acAAvRi9?format=png&name=900x900[/img] Image tags produced an error, the ones above merely don't work.

The URLs need to be a photo type and on its own line. So, ending in .jpg, for example.

Like this (for https://i.imgur.com/gAy6VVi.jpg):

[Pleonast]

Today I learned putting words between angle brackets makes it disappear. For example: “<whatever I want to say>” becomes “”.

[Pleonast]

If you quote and do a full copy, you can see exactly what I typed.

[Bullitt]

That’s how to do a blank reply and sidestep the minimum characters requirement in a post. But some characters will disable that. My original attempt was this,

<a test — hey @Pleonast that is pretty cool!>

And I don’t know which char(s) do the disabling. And I’m too lazy to test for it.

[LSLGuy]

That’s entirely down to < and > being the delimiters for HTML commands.

Some of which Discourse respects and passes along to the browser verbatim, like ^superscript and _subscript, whereas others are suppressed like. And others are simply passed through to the browser which ignores them as nonsense, leaving nothing visible in that spot. The word “stuff” here is inside <abcd> tags which are meaningless in html and so although Discourse faithfully sent them to your browser, it ignored them as nonsense and displays nothing.

[Dr.Strangelove]

Ok, didn’t work. Weirdly, it worked in the preview.

[pjd]

Ignore me.

[What_Exit]

New Tag, trying to test it out: [ grid ] for a bunch of images.

So it worked with Thumbnails, but not Images. I’ll need to keep experimenting. I suspect the direct links for pictures were too big.

[Karen_Lingel]

I can’t find stoplights in any of these!

[What_Exit]

LOL

Maybe boats will work.

[MrDibble]

That’s a great feature, even if just for thumbnails…

[Bullitt]

Yes that looks pretty good.

That was genius! Thank you!

I love killer one-liners delivered straight and that did it for me.
