Finding differences between the forum preview and the post result.

mybearworld

Basically, finding differences between how a post looks when pressing

and when the post is posted.

Here's an example:
[scratchblocks] {} [/scratchblocks]
looks like this:

{}

Though, in preview, like this:

<::extension>

(View on scratchblocks)

The get dodged lol thing in my siggy used to be a stack block

(get dodged lol:: operators)(https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/488605725/:: pen):: motion

Quote this and view it in preview. You will see a REPORTER.

I think the only difference between the preview and the actual post is that in the preview all scratchblocks languages are enabled. This means that the following block:

setze Richtung auf (90 v)

appears blue in the preview, but red in the actual post – except in the German forum. I don't know what causes

{}

to appear weirdly though. It's probably a scratchblocks bug.

wenn die grüne Flagge angeklickt

That appears like

Wenn @greenFlag angeklickt::events hat

Why is it capitalized?

WHEN GREEN FLAG CLICKED
MOVE (10) STEPS
tUrN cW (15) dEgReEs

Hm, that's quite weird.

[scratchblocks]WHEN GREEN FLAG CLICKED
MOVE (10) STEPS
tUrN cW (15) dEgReEs
[/scratchblocks]

there's always a difference between the preview post, and the output post. It must be some kind of plugin issue that(for some reason) only affects the preview(I just found out [the preview] was an iframe)

Yeah you can literally run Scratch in the preview which is another AT topic i'm making

there's a programming language with only 8 instructions, and its name has a swear word in it. the forum's code tag supports this language (with code=bf), but you can use the swear version of it too, even though the filterbot censors it.

in editor:

after posting:

+-<>[]., amogus

The text colour is lighter after posting.

It's the same

That's probably temporary attachent's 3.0 style (they don't apply in the preview).

Even without extensions, the color is #211922 in the preview and #322f31 in the post.

There were some I noticed a while ago, can't be bothered to find my post, so here's whatever I could recall:

<>

<>

Also something unrelated I just discovered is a backslash makes an undefined block:

You can also escape symbols this way:

move \(10) steps /\/ how? :\: motion :: motion
