I would very much like to see a Kumos sCode (kCode?) page and if there's already one; Perhaps make it more easily accessible so it's easier to adapt to the new forum style.

I'm suggesting this because a lot of my Legacy topics use colored boxes and headers for organization, both of which have not yet been fully updated and migrated to the Kumos forums as of now. If there is new code for the specific codes I'm referring to, then I think it'd be great to have a new & improved sCode page dedicated to Kumos formatting.

It seems like the header size is a little different but I suppose I'd like to know if we can change the color of them on Kumos when the full migration comes? Such as [h2=#000000] since they show up as green instead of the typical black I'd like the text to be.

For reference, this is how my Topic looks on Legacy versus Kumos: https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/935568 vs. https://kumos.subeta.net/forums/t/935568 To compare, these are my biggest gripes:

  • Box code is not working (seen throughout the thread)
  • Line breaks are not working as intended (seen in my spoilers)

Im also having issues with trade links not showing in Kumos- That includes both the Lot and the direct links. If they could be adjusted to work on Kumos that'd be great since I'd eventually like to shift from Legacy to Kumos in the near-future not just for bug reporting and feedback, but also to ease in before the full migration.

Thank you!

Hey ! Thanks so much for the detailed feedback and that great comparison between your Legacy and Kumos topic!

Great news - I've just updated the Formatting Help page with a comprehensive sCode reference, and added a quick "Formatting" link in the forums header (next to Search and Groups) so it's always easy to find! The page now documents all the tags you can use, including:

The ones you mentioned:

  • [box=#color]content[/box] - Creates colored background boxes (this was definitely missing from the docs!)
  • [h1] through [h6] - Headers (all sizes)
  • text - Text colors
  • Plus a ton more like [font], [size], [align], [center], lists, line breaks, etc.

Regarding your specific issues:

  1. Box code - [box=#90B2A2] and similar should be working! If they're not rendering correctly, let me know and I'll investigate. The filter supports them.

  2. Colored headers - Headers like

    work, but the syntax [h2=#000000] for colored headers isn't supported. Instead, you can nest color tags: [h2]Header Text

  3. Line breaks in spoilers - Can you share a specific example of what's not working? That'll help me debug it.

  4. Trade links - The [trade=lot#] tag should be working. Can you give me an example of a trade link that's not showing up so I can track down the issue?

The new reference page is organized by category (text styling, lists, users, items, events, etc.) so it should be much easier to find what you need. Let me know if any of those tags aren't working as expected!

💖 ✨ 🤗

Hi, !

Thank you for the hasty response. I appreciate you updating the formatting help page, that's amazing!

What I mean is:

  • Lines aren't separate on Kumos when compared to Legacy. Do I just need to edit my old topics and shift+enter to fix the one line issue? When I tried before, it didn't fix it. In fact; It looked worse. As of writing this via Kumos however, it looks okay - I suppose it's just a migration thing? If anything, I'll play with it further.

  • I receive 404 pages when linking a trade lot whether it's expired or still up. Clicking it as well.

Otherwise, that's everything! Thank you so much for the help and making things more accessible for your userbase. You're the best! :D

Seconding : trade lot scode on kumos link to a 404 page and they do not honor line breaks, as well as not listing the trade lot number so when you have a big list they all look identical. The sticker swapping thread is one where you can easily see the difference: on legacy & on kumos.

And to piggyback off this thread a little bit, here are some other observations about scode on kumos:

I think the new scode reference would be more helpful if all the codes had a rendered example, like they do in the legacy scode reference. The little preview box where you can try out codes is a nice inclusion, though!

Some of the scode isn't working yet, despite being listed on the kumos reference page:

  • Code blocks don't seem to work properly? Scode & html render normally inside them.
  • Font face ([font=monospace]Monospace text[/font])
  • Box codes still don't seem to be working ([box=#eeffee]Lorem ipsum[/box])
  • Numbered lists don't work using [ol], but do work using 1) or 1.
  • "Create a paragraph" [ p ][ /p ] doesn't work, but just using [ p ] does create a paragraph break like normal.
  • User link by id ([userid=341])
  • NPC links ([npc=Alexander])
  • Item with the item's name included ([item2=Purrito])
  • Wearable previews ([preview=Purrito Blanket])
  • Link to a pet renders correctly but the actual link does not work - leads to a 404 page. Also, linking pets doesn't seem to be correctly honoring legacy names? I own the pet with the legacy name "Coward" but using that name alone links to someone else's pet named coward:
    Coward
    vs
    Coward
    . I would guess this is maybe because their pet is older than mine (id 668904 vs 790730)
  • Given user's HA image ([avatar=Keith])
  • The outfit code just links to the outfit but does not display the image (Private Outfit)
  • None of the holiday links work; also, I think the "what it does" descriptions are a little confusing for these - they all imply that it will directly perform the holiday action (such as "Sends a dance invitation") but really it's just creating a link. Also, the holiday listed for the dancing one is wrong (survival vs masquerade) and then most of the other ones just list lands for some reason?

Some code that's missing that existed on legacy:

  • The scode for linking to a url works, but it is not listed on the new scode reference; it only has the markdown code listed.
  • The scode for randomized text works but isn't listed; it also now shows up as bold when rendered, for some reason?
  • The scode to create a table works, but isn't listed
  • Edit ([edit])
  • All of the battle icons (fire 🔥 does show up but it's not the correct image)
  • Superscript ([sup]Superscript[/sup])
  • Subscript ([sub]Subscript[/sub])
  • Inline code ([tt]Inline Code[/tt])
  • Image alignment ([img align=center]https://img.subeta.net/items/minion_chubsquee.gif[/img] or [img align=right]https://img.subeta.net/items/minion_chubsquee.gif[/img])

And a few fiddly things about the code that does work:

  • Since the styling is now the same whether you're just mentioning a user or pinging them, you can no longer tell if another user has already been pinged to a thread you're reading. vs

  • The padding around the h1-h3 headers seems really excessive. Plus, h5 & h6 headers look identical?

    header examples

    H1 heading

    Text beneath h1.

    H2 heading

    Text beneath h2.

    H3 heading

    Text beneath h3.

    H4 heading

    Text beneath h4.
    H5 heading
    Text beneath h5.
    H6 heading
    Text beneath h6.

  • It might be nice to have a simple 1px border around cells in tables? Feel like they could be a little difficult to read currently.

    table example
    Row 1 column 1Row 1 column 2
    Row 2 column 1Row 2 column 2

  • If you link multiple pets at once, the first one becomes weirdly aligned.

    Aftermath
    Malware
    Spaceship

  • Items with punctuation in their names don't work with the item scode, like [item=Black Zebra Stripes Tattoo Sheets (Face)] or [item=Oh! Naturale Ailuridae Fluffy Tail]
