Official Site Question Dump

[TGRF]

I asked this question over on the question dump and got referred here.

How do I see ratings? Is it something that requires 2+ to show up?

Yes, it will take more than one individual rating a blog or thread to get the rating to appear. I don't know how many exactly though.

In the fan fiction community, there is a constant struggle to paste the fiction onto HSers with the indenting intact. So far, no one has been successful. I'm trying to change this.

I don't know of any method I can use to preserve the formatting (if there is one, please let me know), so I'm trying to embed a google document into the post. I'm not sure how well it will work, but it will at least have the indents.

Easier said than done. A google document needs to be published to the web in order to be embedded, and you need the ID of the document, which is up in the URL. Done.

The code to insert a Google spreadsheet is:

[spreadsheet ]Google spreadsheet here[/spreadsheet ]
Obviously without the spaces.

I would think the code for a document would be [document], but that doesn't work. I looked it up, and it says the code is [gd] here, and [gs] for a spreadsheet... neither of which work. There was something here about needing to add a size parameter (which I don't on the spreadsheets), which also did not work anyway.

So how do I embed google docs? The Google ID for the test document I'm trying to embed is:

I think it has something to do with the way permissions are set up. I want to say all admins can do it and I think anyone with OHS access can. There may be others. My attempts to leave an example here make me think certain sections of the forums also are prevented from being able to leave spreadsheets or documents. I can go test elsewhere to be absolutely certain.

~Dysole, who thinks ultimately only Xorlof can answer this one

EDIT: I didn't want to clutter anything up in the Fan Fiction thread but it looks like I can't spreadsheet in there either. This is weird for me. Usually I can spreadsheet everywhere.

EDIT2: I take it back. I can put in a spreadsheet anywhere. I don't think I have permissions to put google documents in place.

Have any site supporters had this problem?

Where can I find low-ink B&W cards for official units? (I assume something like that is available on this site.)

Thanks in advance,

I remember in the C3G threads, myself and Zettian Juggernaut were able to but Trollbrute wasn't able to.

Just print in B&W in low-ink (aka "Draft") mode. If want all cards printed out to save paper and ink (and space storing cards), see @Raudulfr Shieldcrusher 's Trading Card sized official cards and @mathguy 's Rectangular C3V-SoV cards, C3G cards and HoSS cards
Or to save paper but not necessarily ink, get Official Cards 11x17 with synergy - by @Deadmaxx and my VC (C3V & SoV), C3G, CUC, CUA 3/page PDF compilations

@Xorlof What are your thoughts on this? From what I understand, it's simply bbcode that needs to enabled. I think the structure exists.

[TGRF]

@Xotli Do you have any input for the above query?

carry on...

I'm not...entirely sure if this is the proper place to post, but who would I talk to about getting my title changed? Without going too deep into it, I no longer think it's appropriate.
