I was wondering how you do the skill icons in posts, where when you hover pointer over it it will dislpay skill name and description. I tried searching for "skill icon" but just got a lot of discussions about in-game icons.

Just enter "skill" in square brackets [ ], followed by the EXACT skill name (Upper case letters included), then /skill in square brackets and you'll get something like this.

[skill]Leech Signet[/skill]

I know that sometimes learning new things can be difficult and frustrating, maybe causing a [skill]Cry of Frustration[/skill] but give it enough time and enough practice. If you [skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill] and perhaps with a little [skill]Divine Intervention[/skill] you'll be able to do it in no time. Then you will truly be able to say [skill]"Victory is Mine!"[/skill]



Hopefully that fixes things and I'm glad you guys could show some [skill]Empathy[/skill] for a guy's mistakes

[skill]"Victory is Mine!"[/skill]

Remember to use inverted commas for Shouts. And be precise with upper and lower case. If you're having trouble, look it up on GuildWiki.

Alright, does anyone know all of the various ways that you can post skills?

I know about Skill=Text:
[skill=text]Parasitic Bond[/skill]

I know about straight-up Skill:
[skill]Parasitic Bond[/skill]

Are there any other ways to post skills? Or is that it? I remember seeing somebody post a skill in a way that just had, like, all the information ever. But I don't remember where it was/how they did it.

I'm really curious about this and wasn't able to find an answer in the FAQ.

very nice,

this system at the moment is based on the work of Servants of fortuna, but in my view the system at Gwshack is better, since it can be downloaded and used on guild forums.

So... anybody got an answer for my question?


beliserius, that's because you've got... way too much going on. The code is as follows:

[ skill ]Conjure Flame[ /skill ]

Without the spaces in the brackets, obviously. If you do it correctly, it should look like this:

[skill]Conjure Flame[/skill]


Also note that, if you're not sure how it should be done, just quote the person who is using the skill formatting. Instead of showing the pictures, the text will show how it's supposed to come out. Then you can go from there.

It's also imperative that you spell the skill correctly. I know this is teh intarwebs and people hate to do it, but it's required for this to work correctly.

Now go forth, and sin no more! Sqube has blessed you with abundant knowledge.

judgeing by the amount and content of posts in this thread i think it would be just to say that the orignal thread never got enough attention.

I figured out how to do this by pressing the quote button and copy pasing the command for [ skill ] [ /skill ].

I guess some people are a lot less observant.

An apostraphy. Next to Enter.

[skill]Savage Shot[/skill] = [skill]Savage Shot[/skill]

Or you can quote any post with those icons in it and see how it's done!
