2.2 Quick-Find-Codes

Quick-Find-Codes are Codes that make you quickly find a thread. Just copy the code which you can see at the top and at the bottom of every thread in the searching field and you find a thread. Posts can have a quick-find code as well. You find the quick-find-code of any post when you quote it. [ quote id= Quick-Find-Codes] .


2.3 Links

You can link to threads on these Forums using "[qfc id= Quick-Find-Codes]Write your link text here[/qfc]". You can also link to an URL. For this purpose use "[link url=Url you wish you link to]link text [/link]".

Getting a link from a closed thread is a bit harder but not impossible. There is no known way getting the quick-find-code of a Jmod post in a closed thread but there's a way to get the QFC of a normal user. OSRS Newb Help Initiative

There is still a way to get the ReplyUID, but isn't easy

Here.

- Remove char limit in Stories - Locked by TheJLC
- [qfc id=278-279-560-64693728-1-324133688]Remove char limit in Stories - Locked by TheJLC[/qfc]

Notice how, even if the thread is locked, I can get the Thread Id. I did that by using the 'Highlight' function. After the escalate action, there is the Reply Number followed by the ReplyUID.

Explaining the link:

-

278,279,560,64693728

escalate

,

324133688

Red

: The Thread QFC. The - symbols are changed to comas.

Orange

: The action that sends the link to the Highlight function on the internal server.

Pink

: The reply number inside the thread. Starting at Zero on the opening.

Green

: The ReplyUID. The same one that comes in the Quoting System.

---

Still, isn't a good way and something should be implemented to make it easier

About the 'Impossible to get ReplyUID from Locked Threads'.

Hope it helps.

2.4 User profiles

Here's what my (English) user profile looks like:





As you can see you can sometimes easier find the threads you posted in and look for a response through your user profile . Especially when you haven't been on the forums for a while.

There's already a sticky created by Werewolf. In the following, I'll just quote him: OSRS Newb Help Initiative

persuming you already have your image heres a step by step guide on how to get your image from your computer to the runescape forums, you will need to go offsite in a new tab during the process

first go to imgur.com



then go to the top and click new post then upload image



you will then get an upload box like this



click browse and locate your pic



once its uploaded right click the image and select open image in new tab

Note: if your browsing in Firefox the right click option will be "View Image"



then take the end of your link off your chosen pic



now is the time to come to the runescape forums click on the imgur button circled here and paste in your url, this should look similar to this [imgur src=94as1CI.jpg]



jobs a good one click post and your pic will appear on the forums under a spoiler box, please note no text and it wont post so you will need to write something as i have written "this is how"



this is the final result

when uploading an image please make sure its in line with the code of conduct and the rules of imgur

Code of Conduct

Images must not include or display:
Cheating, gambling, or circumventing other Jagex rules.
Excessive Gore or mutilation
"Hate Speech" - Demeaning race, gender, age, religious or sexual orientation, etc.
Threats, harassment or language that is generally considered rude - including swearing
Content that encourages violence or crime
Illegal activities, such as drug use.

Any images that contain the above will be removed.
Do not use images which are copyrighted or trademarked. Any usage will be at the poster's own risk.

Good Sharing Practices

-------------------

Once you get the hang of uploading images there's a sneaky little shortcut you can use, this has been tried and tested with jpg and gif formats

Whatusaytome said :
After you upload your image to imgur, you don't actually have to "open in new tab" or "view image"

Take the code from the picture itself directly after uploading and put it in the [imgur src=] and type .png after

this code right here, it saves a step or two

It should look like this
[imgur src=YOURLINK.png]
