  • Hmm, what should be done about this guide since it is outdated?
  • Umm... ah... Quick, me! Do something!



    1)   Press the </> button in the comment window to open the HTML editor mode.

    2)   Copy and paste (or type manually for some unknowable reason) this code:
    <a href=AAA> <img src=AAA width=236%></a>
    3)   Replace the first "AAA" with the page address and the second with the image address. Be sure to only replace the three "A"s and no other characters.

    4)   Press the </> button again to close the HTML editor mode. You should now be able to see the correct image. If you wish to change the size, go back into the editor mode and experiment with changing the 236 in the code up there to different numbers.



    Be sure to exit the HTML editor mode before posting the comment, otherwise it'll go wrong and appear as a tiny, tiny little image.
  • How the freak do you change the text color now...? :disappointed:
  • At least we still can change the font size!
  • So what exactly changed... did any of the "thumbs" vs "full" stuff change? I was a little confused about that, and I think I might have been doing it wrong.

    Also, thaaat's how people made their cards clickable links...
  • Yeah that's true! Changing font sizes is still here at least! And I like making the smiley faces too!  B)
  • I am posting this, but it isn't working: 

    <a href="https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/iron-guard-1"><img src="https://mtgcardsmith.com/view/complete/full/2020/10/9/1602257492405098.png" width="45%"></img></a>

    Is something wrong?
  • @Hinges You've forgotten to press the button that looks like this </> first. That's the button that allows you to use and edit HTML code. I've tried out what you've done with that active and it's working just fine (though the image is a bit small. I'd recommend 236% for the width.)

    Just press that HTML view button, paste in the code, and then press it again to leave the HTML view. Remember to leave the HTML view before you post or preview the comment, because that can make the image end up tiny.
  • hmmm. can you make a zombie set symbol @MemoryHead please? Thanks. Or more halloween inspired ones? a bat set symbol would be sick (but not a knock off the batman logo thats too easy. maybe have the bat crooked in the set symbol, or similar to the oldschool avatar on the site?
  • @sorinjace Possibly you should be asking this on the set symbol thread, rather than here? Admittedly it seems to have gone missing, as it sometimes does, but still.

    To actually answer the question, probably. Not at this moment, but I'll try when I remember and I've got some time.

    May you delete this thread since I didn't realize it'd be outdated?
  • @Corwinnn Can you please not delete this thread since I use it for storing HTML code and it's still got the up-to-date instructions?

    On that note, @murkletins, I'm pretty sure that this is up-to-date.
  • Oh. I just heard people say otherwise. Thanks for warning myself.
  • Custom Card Discussions is where you'll find BOTH Set Symbol threads!
  • Regardless thanks everyone!

  • Does anyone know how to centralize writing? They said something with ''tab'' and ''docs'', but I'm really lost in this type of design.
  • edited November 2020
    @CassZero

    Note the comment posting window. Up from the text space, there is a bar of symbols. Look to the very right. There should be a symbol evoking this: </>. Look directly to the left, and lo! You should find the centralizing options.
  • @HeroKP I believe Cass might be referring to the process of centring text on custom cards rather than the forums. Vague guess based off of the fact that I believe I've seen them use centred forum text before.

    @CassZero I fear that you're going to hear some more confused rambling about "tab" and "docs", but I'll give explaining it a try.

    In order to centre text using lots of spaces, you first need some sort of character at the start. I vaguely think I've seen you do this on your cards in the past, so you're aware of it. The process you're looking for is that of finding a "tab" (an indent that isn't visible, and doesn't show up during card creation as a result). There's no way I've found to transfer a "tab" directly through the forums, so I can't just do that, but I can try this. Here's a link to a random test document I've made. It's got a tab in it. Possibly you can just copy and paste it from here.

    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGfpKiqzj3qDhZdMOpmd87dYUd5RnfSn54DCGAXlEHw/edit?usp=sharing

    From what I've heard, tab doesn't work for this on phones, so if you use CS from a phone then that's an insurmountable obstacle.

    I can also write down the explanation you've seen before somewhere if you want, but I suspect that it'll be just as rambling as last time.

    Thank you very, very much @MemoryHead for the explanation. I had already tried something like the link, but for some reason it didn't work. Now everything went well. Thank you again.  :)

    The example is very useful for others who may have difficulty, or who want to explore new designs.

    Well, I can't seem to manage with making the text bigger......

  • @TheDukeOfPork did you make sure to hit the </> button on the right end of the comment toolbar? Think you have to be in the HTML editing mode to do font sizes and such.
  • @Red_Tower I did press the </> button. I know I did because I saved the message as a draft, and then when I went to 'My Drafts' the writing looked bigger.
  • Press that button before writing the code.
