New forum formatting features - Alley - 06-07-2015

A new method for handling spoilers has been added, along with the long requested percentage indents. I'll keep this thread around and update the OP with new features when I get around them.

Blurred spoilers
Hover your mouse cursor over the text to unblur it.

Oi: Allay- blur this: next time, Ixnay on the non-inglay as per forum rules, eh?
(Seriouslay though, okay?)
-B

Code:
[sp2]text[/sp2]

Percentage indents
Do not use negative values. You will be banned for that.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.

Aenean vulputate eleifend tellus.

What happens when you use negative values?

You get divided by zero.

Actually I'd imagine it just tries to indent it the other way, forum style is broken, everyone dies, universe explodes.

It puts the text outside the post area, like this.
[pi amount=-5]really annoying[/pi]

So really, please don't do it. The last thing we need is the forums to become a gigantic mess and I would be pretty upset to have to remove this feature because of people doing this.

don t think it works for me - all text is as sharp as always - no blur whatsoever

update your browser/clear your cache with CTRL+F5.

Well this is awesome, thanks Alley

RE: New forum formatting features - Corile - 06-07-2015

Because some people are confuzzled, here's an explanation what percentage indents are and why they're awesome.

5% indent

10% indent

15% indent

One absolute indent

Two absolute indents

Three absolute indents

Now, scale your browser window and observe what happens to the text above.

Code:
[pi amount=5]5% indent[/pi]

[pi amount=30]30% indent[/pi]

[pi amount=50]50% indent[/pi]

[indent]One absolute indent

[indent]Two absolute indents

[indent]Three absolute indents[/indent][/indent][/indent]

Scaling window doesn't change anything in indents for me, "zooming" in and out with Ctrl + MWheel Up and Down however did indeed show the difference between how absolute and relative indents work.
