Question

Demo for hero

Answer 1

Click me to go to google.com See? @Hero

Answer 2

Yeah but, it should be a button that you can click on to do that. No one (well, except coders) would know how to do what you just did.

Answer 3

Actually, that link does not work.

Answer 4

The "Click on Me" part doesn't work. Besides, you did it wrong. You don't type the site name in the text part.

Answer 5

The whole point is to conceal the actual destination.

Answer 6

Actually, many people know how to do it, it's a simple markup language.
[ url = url target=_blank ] url here [ /url ]
but without spaces.

oh and oops, i forgot the http:// LOL

Answer 7

I don't think you should assume that. You mean, most of the people you know can do it because the people you know are coders. There's billions of people who don't. #ThinkOutsideBox

Answer 8

Uh... No that's not it, i'm saying many people who use forums know how to use it because it is common for forum users, However I am working on documentation for it to guide those that do not know :P

Answer 9

You make a lot of assumptions.

Answer 10

Yes, Yes I do, however check slack for more information :P

Answer 11

"People who use forums know how to do it". I use forums

Answer 12

I've been using forums since before you were born and I don't know how to do it. I can tell you once again, there are more people than you think who don't know how to do it.

Answer 13

Once again, check slack, because I explained something you may want to see o-o

Answer 14

Why do you think so many buttons exist on OS? Because they did not assume people knew how to type in latex without them.

Answer 15

Also, if you notice, people are not typing in LaTeX on here. Some but not most.

Answer 16

Yes, I am working on a LaTeX editor, it's just not done yet.

Answer 17

#WeAreABetaMindYou

Answer 18

Okay, great. At least you haven't assumed everyone knows how to type LaTeX. I'd be really scratching my head at you if you assumed that as well.

Answer 19

Okay.

Answer 20

As for this other language, I am working on documentation for it, so people know how to use it

Answer 21

I can tell you, it's better to just add a button. People will want to just insert the data and move on. I don't think they'll want to go searching around for it. Besides, I as a mod, I don't think I want someone asking me every 5 min how to do something like that.

Answer 22

Fair point...

Answer 23

Alright, I guess i'll add a BBcode editor as well...

Answer 24

You should upgrade that equation editor. That's the same one from OS and it's weak. Very weak.

Answer 25

Go to math help boards and look at their equation editor.

Answer 26

If we want to be the best, we have to "Upgrade everything" not just be a copy of OS

Answer 27

I only added that one to hold you over, I plan to add a way way more advanced one ^_^

Answer 28

Which mindset do you think would be best for new users who come here:

"Oh this site is similar to OS"

or

"Oh this site is EVEN BETTER than OS"

Answer 29

Awesome

Answer 30

Thanks for adding that. I know I've asked a lot of you but you seem to be up to the challenge.

Answer 31

Thank you ^_^

Answer 32

Medal me. I want to see if I get an instant alert for it.

Answer 33

There are no notifications for medals YET

Answer 34

Okay, that's what I thought.

Answer 35

Also, do we have rewards and things in place yet for medals? That should also hopefully be on your short list.

Answer 36

That's on my longer list, because that will be a lot of work

Answer 37

However the system is ready for when those are added

Answer 38

I see. Well, good thing. You're firing on all cylinders.

Answer 39

What if we get money for a certain amount of medals? o;
Like $5 for 100 stars/medals. :D

Answer 40

... We would be broke.

Answer 41

Correction, we already are broke, so we would be homeless.

Answer 42

Correction, YOU would be homeless. o;
