Team, FYI I have "hacked" (to use ehiker's term
) the forum so that the browser/client will selectively strip stuff out of signature blocks so that players can have forum specific content (i.e., PC stat lines) presented in their signature.
How does it work?
In order to use this feature, you'll need to add a tiny bit of markup to your signature:
If you put
[f=4]your signature inside tags[/f] like this, it will only appear in the forum whose forum id=4. You many have already noticed that the Hinterlands game is run within forum id number 4 on this site, and that "f=4" appears in every Hinterlands URL. E.g., the latest in character post is at
http://forum.immersiveink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=678 and notice especially the
f=4 in the URL after the question mark.
This should work for other forum ids too. For example, Mike's Edge of the Western Sea is run in forum id f=17. Gorthaur's Maddness is run in forum id f=32, and for any others you can simply check up the URL of any post inside the forum.
Anything you put
above any [f=x]my sig cotent[/f] in your signature will continue to appear in all forums.
For example, if I put this in my signature:
- Code:
Some stuff
[f=4]Hinterland's stuff[/f]
[f=32]Gorthuar's stuff[/f]
Then my sig would look like this in the Hinterlands forum:
Some stuff
Hinterland's stuff
...like this in the Gorthuar forum:
Some stuff
Gorthuar's stuff
...and like this in all other forums:
Some stuff
I have only tested in using the Firefox browser on Windows, but it appears to be "working for me" (e.g., check out my sigs in Hinterlands versus Gorthuar's versus the wider forum). Let me know how you go with it on your particular device of choice...
Once it's kinda sorta working properly, I'll post it more generally in the How To PBP forum
