CCTime Since ConquerClub has people from all around the globe, the site has decided to take a standard time to clear confusion. CCTime is EST (GMT -5), and has a tag to help illustrate this.
yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss (year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds) CCTime also assumes a 24 hour calendar, so for 2PM, the hour would be 12+2 = 14
Game Auto-Join Links This is mostly applicable to Tournament Games and the Callouts section of the forum, but nonetheless, good to know about. If sending someone a game, you can send them an auto-join link with the following code:
You know that little 100x100 pixel image people have to show themselves? Well, you can have one, too
First, you need to download the image you want as your avatar. If it isn't 100x100 exactly, that's ok. Many pictures get shrunk down to the necessary size to fit
Once you have it saved onto your computer in a place you can remember, go to:
How To Set Up Your Signature and Some Common Troubleshooting
First, when deciding to use a signature, know that ConquerClub has a signature size limit. Your signature (including all text, pictures, links, etc.,) must be at MOST 150 pixels high, and at MOST 600 pixels wide in resolution. Here is an example box to match your signature size against:
Now, to access your signature editing tool, go to:
COMMON ISSUE: Sometimes, people don't have the right settings to allow signatures to appear in their posts. Here are the most common problems with displaying signtatures:
1) You've Disabled BBCode in the Sig Editor
Many people often check the "Disable BBCode" checkbox, and this renders links, img tags, quotes, etc., completely useless. Make sure that your selections look like this:
2) You aren't set to display a signature in the forums
Sometimes people have their signature disabled, so it obviously won't show up! To make sure you are set correctly, under:
And change it to look like this for optimal forum aesthetics:
If, after all of this troubleshooting, you still can't see you or other people's signatures, it may be worth opening a topic in the Bugs Report Forum if you are COMPLETELY sure that it is a bug. Although, I recommend contacting either a Discussions Volunteer or a Global Moderator first, to ensure that you have done everything correctly
The ability to add attachments to forum posts has been enabled in select forums. In order to add an attachment, you must have the file saved as file to your computer (i.e. desktop, etc.). You will know if attachments are enabled in the forum you are browsing when you go to post a new topic or reply to a thread by seeing the "Upload Attachment" tab, next to the "Options" Tab, located under the text entry box. (See below for screenshot).
How to Use:
Step 1: In the “Post A New Topic” or “Post A Reply” screen, click on the “Upload Attachment” tab:
Step 2: Click “Browse:
Step 3: Find the screenshot picture file you saved, either click on the file to select it, and click “Open” or double click the file:
Step 4: Enter text in the “File Comment” text box (optional), then Click “Add The File”:
Step 5: At this point, you can change your comment or add one now if you didn’t add one in step 4. Place the file “inline” (which places the image in the post reply text area with attachment tags in the location where your cursor is) or delete the file:
Step 6: To add more files, simply repeat the above steps.
Lists are a powerful BBCode tool that allows members to organize things that belong together. In this post, we will be discussing the list= and list tags, and what the difference is.
Using The Normal List Tag
For starters, let's use list. The list function will indent your selection once for each time it is listed. So, for example:
Along with spacing, you can add bullets and sub-bullets to your text for organization and clarity. Use the [*] tag to indicate a bullet. Here are some examples:
As you can see, the bullet in the second example is a different shape than the first. This is because, for each time we indent with one bullet, it changes. This makes for very clear lists!
[list=I] [*]Numeral One [*]Numeral Two [*]Numeral Three [/list]
Yields:
Numeral One
Numeral Two
Numeral Three
You can also use 'i', 'A', and 'a' to order them by lowercase Roman Numerals, lowercase letters, and uppercase letters respectively. Here are what they look like:
I only made so many uppercase letter examples above to show you that you can go past 26, if you were wondering. It will just go into the double lettering system
Nesting Lists
Let's say I want to organize many things by different categories using the above methods. We can do that be nesting lists within another. I'll just give you a quick demonstration, and the code needed to do it.
You can actually go in deeper, either by reusing your letter/numbers, or by not using them at all. Lists may be a little confusing at first when you go into a lot of nesting, but they're generally simple to use for the purposes on this site, as they usually don't get very complex. I hope this has helped, good luck with your lists!
