Has anyone discovered interesting Fluther formatting tricks?

Yes… Keep a window open before the time limit for questions and edit later… not too much later, but you can also keep pushing f5 and sometimes a gift of an edit will appear.

This is a test. If it works, let me know what I put in parentheses.

^^That’s so cool!!! Thanks for sharing! A new but perhaps not very useful trick! I wonder if there are others hiding.

Hey, cool, @thorninmud. I haven’t seen that one before.

There are a bunch of tricks in this thread but I don’t see the parentheses trick – Do you know any Fluther formatting secrets?

@jaytkay Oh, I hadn’t seen that thread. Thanks!

.

edit: oh man, that’s awesome.

I found another today!
In this post, I had typed in ”[edit]” before the colon, and it didn’t show up.
:

^^I just did it there, too.

^^Me too!

:

@Yetanotheruser How? It only works if I put a colon after it.

Instead of typing the colon just erase all you wrote and push the space bar once.

edit:

Damn. Evidently it doesn’t work for everyone.

you wrote edit: ^^

@Dan_Lyons I’m trying to recreate what happened in the link I posted. @rojo edit has to be small font and in brackets.

^^like that!

@dxs I tried to post this earlier from my phone, and ran out of battery time

The way I created the blank answer follows:
1. In the “Answer this question…” box I typed, “Watch this!”
2. I clicked on the “Answer!” button.
3. When the answer posted, I clicked on the “Edit this response” link.
4. In the “Edit your Response:” box, I placed thecursor at the end of the response (immediately to the right of the ”!”)
5. I then backspaced, erasing all characters, placing the cursor in the upper left hand corner of the box
6. Using the spacebar, II then typed one space. This placed the cursor exactly one space past the very beginning.
7. I then clicked on the “Answer” button, and voila! an empty answer!

Post an anwer… Edit it and replace the whole answer with a single space.

Entering a single space will not work the first time, it can only be done when you edit an answer you posted before.

I meant to say @rojo was trying to recreate what happened in the link I posted.

Are you talking about this?

Well done, @longgone

Yay! I did it.
Thank you, @whitenoise

All the best™
@longgone

You’re more than ⓦⓔⓛⓒⓞⓜⓔ, @longgone

How did you do that??

I made this response today, and the two carets made the font small!
^This is a test.^
No! Why doesnt it work?! ^447^

.√(54”^2 + 80”^ 2)

^{test test}

It works for me.

Sometimes, though, it stops working.

Buggy. Maybe message length plays a role. Can’t find a pattern.

^{test test}
It works for me.

Aha! Strange…

I discovered another one today!
My “x” was floating. I think it has to do with putting it between numbers, so it turns into a multiplication symbol.

2×3
64×5
9×8

Cool!
