How to derail a thread part 1

Hrumph . . . Please explain why are you using code tags for normal text. It's a bit disorienting . . .

Re: How to derail a thread part 1

@golinux,
please see this previous thread/discussion:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6484

started using code blocks after this:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=51216#p51216

would be open to a better solution where screenshots can/will show all/complete URLs
update: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=51306#p51306

addendum: huzza, this is fun, morr practice makes morr perfect.

Re: How to derail a thread part 1

Yes, I remember rrq's objection to your unclickable links and I likely said something at some point also. I also understand your logic.

Since you are a bit of a noob, I'll share some history . . . at one time, iirc,  rrq removed the truncated live link function so links printed in their entirety. Due to user feedback from those who like to click a link, the live, truncated links were returned. Will be interesting to hear other forum members feedback about your manipulations to "have it your way".

But . . . what keeps ringing in my ears is this:

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one."

In the meantime, please use the standard protocols of this forum as they were intended.

First of all, this is a consequence of upbringing.

Re: How to derail a thread part 1

as per rrq in this previous post:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=48861#p48861

...In that spirit, the h-chopping is ideal.

however, this looks interesting as well(from same rrq post):

5. e.g. https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:manual:reference_installation is that link likewise split and used as both link and as high-light text after an initial space:

 [url=https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:manual:reference_installation] https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:manual:reference_installation[/url]

(without initial space in the highlight, the forum renderer reduces it to option 3)

tl;dr: all hail the forum renderer(sigh...it always comes down to the rendering in the final analysis)
