I’m thrilled to (finally) unveil an update we’ve been working on for discourse. We’ve enabled access to html classes and inline css styling. If you don’t know what that means, that’s okay! We’ve written a huge guide to formatting that’ll help you out.
This unlocks a ton of flexibility (to do nonsense like the obnoxious rainbow greeting above), but it is a pretty huge change behind the scenes. The days of tags like <div data-*> are officially over and that means some current posts are going to need to be updated to use the new format. By now some of you have already noticed these:
LCARS Update Required
popping up around the site, particularly in IC areas like character profiles and ship records. That warning means exactly what it says on the tin - something nearby is using the old format and needs to be updated.
While some things might appear to be okay, aside from the warning, that’s not the case and it will stop working at some time in the future.
In our testing, we didn’t find anything that was possible in the old format that isn’t easily recreated using the new methods, but if you discover something you’re having trouble with please let us know so we can look into it!
I recommend utilizing the Forum Code Help thread in discord to ask questions, but feel free to ping me directly or open a ticket as well.
Without further ado, I present your go-to reference to formatting on this site:
This guide includes basic and advanced formatting for posts, as well as standards and templates for both character profiles/dossiers and ship records. Enjoy!
