Adding Color Symbols- Troll Accounts
TappedOut forum
Posted on Nov. 27, 2015, 3:08 p.m. by Midexin
So I've recently made a bunch of decks using the cool "
" where X is a capital letter to create a color symbol, like 
or 
. But recently today, when I looked on my decks (Cheap Spells Win (CSW)) and all of the variants, the colors symbol commands for green and black became usernames for 2 accounts that don't have a single deck posted or comment made- G and 
show up instead of the color symbols for green and black, respectively. Admin, can we please get a read on this because its ruining a lot of cool descriptions, etc. Keep doing what your doing, this website is GREAT, but please do something about this because it's ruining a fair amount of my (and other peoples) aesthetics D:

If you go [ [ symbol:B ] ] it will eliminate the issue.
[ [ card:putrefy ] ] vs [ [ user:putrefy ] ]

Ohhh thanks guys. I only knew the [ [ B ] ] version XD (I put spaces in so it didn't actually put the symbol in). Guess I raised a fuss for no reason.

Though, people should not be able to call themselves g, r, b, u or w....

I've noticed this too, but I just bit the bullet and got used to typing [[symbol:G]] into stuff. It sucks, but it does the job.

Also, for those people who like to type in bracketed things w/o the link actually popping up, I just look up a table of html symbol codes and copy/paste them in.
So, &.#.9.1.; without any periods becomes this [.

@TheAnnihilator.
Copy text. Go to Word. Paste. Replace R with Symbol:R. Repeat for all other colors. Copy. Paste. Done! Not that much work, tbh.

@TheDevicer and what if you have any capital R's in your sentence? That doesn't always work so well. :P
I mean, I guess you could replace [[R]] with [[symbol:R]], which would fix that problem.

You people could just click the "code" button and it makes everything easier.

Nope, that takes a lot longer time.... When I'm writing, I want to type. Not suddenly using my mouse to click on an icon... Also, for some reason, when I use the code button, the code is put at the start of the comment....

@Femme_Fatale I did not know that existed. I'll probably use that, but most likely I'll end up typing out the code for the code block manually (ironic, I know).

Alright so it appears it was either a temporary glitch or someone fixed it because all of the color symbols are appearing on my decks. Although the original post above still has an account.
