Is/Will BBcode Be Implemented On DPRevived?

On another forum I post on BBcode is enabled and it allows users to customise the layouts of the content in their posts.
For me it is most useful to customise the sizing and laying out of multiple images in posts to something like below. It could be very useful for members at least in the Samples and Galleries Forum.

From what I see in the post editor, a very basic implementation of BBcode is currently enabled. The [img] tag is enabled but its "style" attribute, or equivalent, is not which means image layouts cannot be customised.

I know you have higher priorities at the moment but hopefully this enhancement query, to fully implement BBcode, can be put on your to-do list, at least at the bottom.

I would typically use BBcode to layout images side by side when displaying "Before" and "After" versions or for other comparison type situations.

Being able to control the size of images and how they are laid out in a post can make a post much more user friendly and easier on the eyes compared to having a series of largish thumbnails laid out vertically.

Being able to control size and position of images is also very useful when explaining something in a post where you include images. Positioning the image say on the right side of the post and appropriately sizing it with the explanation text to the left and wrapping around underneath the image makes it much more user friendly to the reader of the post.

Hopefully somewhere in your Admin control panels it would be just a matter of clicking a few toggle switches or similar to enable BBcode.

Misago uses Markdown instead of BBCode.

Are you bob, posting as root? If so I want to ask why you chose a forum that makes things differently than more traditional software when you want the usual features, like threaded view and BBCode? Just curious. 😉

BBCode (Bulletin Board Code) +forums have been around since the late 1990s and works okay on a desktop computer, then and now. It does not display great on a mobile / portable device today.

Yes, I know, many of us are creatures of habit and do not like change.
But… this is 2023 and if you don’t move with the times, you get left behind. lol

Thanks Greg. But unfortunately all of the Markdown resizing coding options don't seem work in posts.

Hopefully configuring site settings to allow images to be resized and repositioned (with BBcode or Markdown) will eventually float to the top of bobn2's to-do list at some point. It's not a high priority at the moment.

I’m sure that things will eventually get ironed out.

Just think of it like this Danno old bean…
Bob, Alan and their "motley crew” have just taken over the USS Enterprise and we are traveling at warp factor 9.2
and… they cannot locate the user manual!

:-D

There is no way I will use my phone to read a graphic heavy site like this. Text based forums yes, but even then I switch to pc to view web links etc. Even mobile optimised web sites don't cut it on phones (for me anyway)...

I read DPR on a tablet all the time. Phone is a last resort, but will rarely use one.

Apologies to Jerry, it was the first random post with a photo that I found.
Here’s the thing, I was a Motorola flip phone guy until March last year, now I have three iPhones.

I use a Mac mini and a 24" screen to access the internet.

1947: John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, with support from colleague William Shockley, demonstrate the transistor at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. It's been called the most important invention of the 20th century.

Today, the Apple A16 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone Pro Max, employs, wait for it… 16 billion transistors.

Just sayin’

That was interesting to learn about.Thanks for explaining.
