Thread: Bad Design of Reply Button

  1. #1
    After using-up my allotted 3 upload spaces on my first attempt at posting pics, I couldn't figure out how to reply with the options of adding more pics, every time I pushed the 'reply subscribe RSS feed' it said I would get an e-mail for every response. Long story short, I thought it was one big button, every time I pushed it I(coincidentally) hit the same place so, I assumed it was the wrong button. I know now but, someone else using this format of engine for the first time...

    Yes, it seems to catch out a few folk but it's WordPress and I guess we just have to work with it since they don't look like they want to make changes to it anytime soon. Just click on the 'WORD' Reply and that will set up the template for adding your pictures. Quick Reply is to respond without adding pictures...

    Johnny you might want to consider uploading your images to an image hosting site like www.imgur.com.

    You load your images directly from your computer and it will give you a direct link. Just paste that link between the "[img]" and "[/img]" tags that will appear when you click the "picture" buttom.

    You can do this in Reply and Quick Reply. And this way you can post as many images you like.

    If you use Chome as your browser there's even an App you can get that allows you to upload to imgur.com in one click.
    Cheers,

    Cheers Gavin and Adam, Now that I've figured out my mistake I shouldn't have a problem, it's just a bit of guess work involved.

    I've been away from the forums for a while, but now I'm back, and I see this!

    A quick and easy fix would be simply to add an separator or marker before each word. The good new is that this is easy!

    Just bang this at the end of the css files (style.css would seem to be the obvious one):
    //-------------------------------
    #topicmenu td.mirrortab_back:before{
    content: ">";
    }

    #topicmenu td.maintab_back:before{
    content: ">";
    }
    //--------------------------

    This will work in most browsers (not all, but the ones it doesn't work in wont see any change), and you'll see something like the below. If you don't like the angle brackets you can play with the content and change it to whatever.
