Noob BBCode Question for iOS

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by AshesOfEden, Dec 26, 2014.

  1. Hey All!

    I don't know if this is possible.. 2 questions..

    On iOS KaW

    1)Any way to link to a player on a forum thread that have never posted on forums before? (Eg. My alt has never posted but I want to reference him in one of the threads)

    2)How do you get around the ampersand uid portion in the link for player profiles?(eg. When I tap-hold and copy a user who has posted, I get their link but with ampersand in it ..so I can't do a url code of it)

    Please help! Ty ️

    Merry Christmas!
     
  2. for 2, you use a certain website (I can't remember the website) that gives you a url without ampersand
     
  3. I don't know about number 1, but using the tinyurl site you can shorten links, which will take out the ampersand.


    But yes, you are an iOS noob.
     
  4. Oh right.. I think I know.. Ty..

    Any answers for #1???
     
  5. &&&&&&

    AMPERSANDED
     
  6. Things like tinyurl and bitly can help with links. (Not third party advertising, just being helpful :))

    I think on PC, you just need to log in on forums, and then his KaW account gets linked with forums. Click on his profile, and you might be able to get it from there. Not sure. Don't quote me with this one 
     
  7. I'm not so sure. I believe the problem with that is that all profiles are in the game and don't have a specific URL tied to their account.

    Two days ago someone explained in a thread how to get a link to someone's profile page in response to CoS-Delta's thread for the event sack bonus stuff.
    So if you can find that, or someone explains how to get a link to a profile, you can easily see if to get that link you need to go through the forums.

    TL;DR see if you need to go through the forums to get a normal link to a player profile.
     
  8. You also might try on PC, right clicking on the thing that brings you to your profile, and clicking copy url or something like that.
     
  9. PC:
    1- go to player search might be called member search, search the alts name, right click on the name, copy paste in
    Code:
    [url=link]name[/url] 
    iOS it's easier to do such by using your internet browser and follow the PC rules as it's hard to do such on any phone. When I do not have access to my computer, I use my internet browser and the full website to do certain things like link a person. It's slow but it works.

    2) Find a good link shortener or try posting from your internet browser on your phone, I have an android so I don't know if it wwill work but it might.
     
  10. Tried doing a link on my sister's iPod from her browser, it worked.

  11. I haz another noobie question!

    Is there any way (preferably ios) to be able to "copy" a players name? (not in forums)

    I can't find any screen in kaw play where I can "copy" a players name (tap and hold kinda thing)

    Help!
     
  12. There is not.

    Pen and pad.

    Good luck.

    Ps don't listen to jester she bots.
     
  13.  
  14. For making a link on IOS you don't have to shorten the name ;)

    I'm an IOS NOOB too
     
  15. #1 absolutely no idea

    #2 tinyurl

    #3 don't think it's possible on iOS
     
  16. Ashes it's simple :p

    noob account

    On iOS, copy the forum name and you get the url to the kaw name.

    Just use the bb code
    *type in name*

    And there you have it a link to the account
    (Only actually works when you're editing for some reason) just copy the whole post before you post then paste the post as you edit it again.
     
  17. Jester you know you did that code wrong, /).-
    When you try to be a smart ass. You first got to be smart otherwise you're just a ass :D
     
  18. actually you did it wrong as well. It's

    Code:
    [url="name"]link[/url]
     
  19. No, Woifie is right.

    Code:
    [url="Link"]Visible Text[/url]
    
     
  20. He lacks quotation marks making his code fail. Read his again, thank you.
