Reveal- a New Feature Idea for Forum Users.

[chrisbis]

@VLS
Hi..
I have an new Idea, for a new feature for Forum users.

For the purpose of this intro, I will call it- REVEAL.

Hopefully, the title gives away the definition of the Feature. So let me explain.

When fellows post up their ideas and systems, they often write in a long list of previous casino spins, in the following manner:-

2B
    18R
8B
    32R

etc etc.

Then as the list goes on, it can sometimes take up quite a bit of space in the pages the viewer is reading.
That's just one aspect of the new feature.
Also, if fellow members are following closely, a particular system/routine being posted up, they MIGHT, want to try those numbers/results offered up by the originator, for themselves, instead of the numbers being 'Open' to view, and not hidden in some way.

The idea of a REVEAL feature, would also enable posters like Twisteruk, and other Quiz master/riddle official's, to put there answer to Riddles/Tasks/Quizes, inside their 1ST (or subsequent) posts, and have the ANSWER available to anyone who wants to REVEAL the final part!

I imagine the new feature could go something like this:-

Riddle.
Q. Do U know what time the half past ten bus is due?

A. [attachimg=#2]

(BTW the real answer was 10.45am cause the bus is always late round 'ere!)

Then, for such things as spin numbers, long lists of detailed graphics, strings of bet sequences, the REVEAL button, could be used to keep posts neat/tidy and to the point, and if then the viewer wants to SEE the detailed post, they would only have to hit the REVEAL button, to show all the info.

I do not know if Victor can (or would, for that matter) be able to programme in this feature into the SMF formate, but I'm sure if would be a useful addition to some of the great features in our arsenal of buttons/boxes/images and alike!

It could have so many more uses too!! (polls? opinions? new type of quiz/questions?)

Here's some other REVEAL button options to consider.

Cheers All.  

[box]EDIT-
Possible obvious coding sequence could be:-
[reveal]
Another point we can watch is the behaving of the rows ("0";"1";">1")

eg.

"0" only can go down from 37 to 0

If we watch:
19
19
18
18
17
17

we see a rythm. and we will always follow this rythm

">1" will only go up from 0 to 37

If we watch:

1
1
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
3
3
3
there is also a rythm and we expect it is going on.
[/reveal]

(and then when posted, the REVEAL button would magically appear!)

Thanks to winkel, for the example of lists of detail posting.

[reveal][/reveal] tag implemented as per your instructions.

Enjoy!

[chrisbis]

............and what do you think Victor?
Possible?.......................absolute by the looks of it!! hay HAY!!

I can find allsorts of ways in using it!!

Tell us what you 'fink Charlie!  

He did, whilst I was sending This!!

Thx. 

[VLS]

............and what do you think Victor?

[reveal]I think that's very possible to implement![/reveal]

Yup.

[reveal]Indeed!  [/reveal]

[VLS]

Oh, and you can also modify button, like:

[reveal=Custom text][/reveal]

So:

[reveal=Roulette Numbers]
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36
[/reveal]


Displays like this:
[reveal=Roulette Numbers]
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36
[/reveal]

[chrisbis]

Do U know folks- how good this man Charlie is!!??

It took me longer to write it down in the forum, than it took Charlie to implement it!!

WOW.

Now that's impressive.


Charlie?- Who U say?..........Oh, he's the bloke who comes along on the night shift, hoovers, tidy's up the place a little, and does a tiny bit of coding on the side, just to keep his hand in so2speak!!

U know when he's here, when it says (+1 hidden) at the top of a Topic, as to who's viewing it.

Ah! Today I'm in supa-turbo mecha code mode.

[reveal]Why? Because I'm finishing the tool, hooray!! [/reveal]

[reveal=Cordial Message]BETTER BLOODY WORK THEN EH!!! LoL............. (tongue very much solid in cheek here!)[/reveal]

Nice touch.

Good thinking, Chris.

Morning Boss, Morning all who reading.


In view of the relative success of our Reveal feature, I wondered if We could really expand its remit, and get it main-stream.


So, my idea would be, when fellows start to produce a long line of results, say a repetition of 3/4/5/6 letters/numbers/symbols in a descending formate, our Reveal feature, would then produce a Pop-Up message on screen asking if our poster would like to put this list of results/spins etc inside a Reveal.


Would go something like this:-


spin, number, results, +/-,
1,       23,        H,          0 Bet here
2        18         L          -1
3        36         H         +1
4        19         H         +2


[Reveal= Forming a long List?]Would you like me to put that in a Reveal Button for U?[/Reveal]



We could actually use the reveal feature, as our alert Pop-Up message, and there would be two answers:


Yes, a reveal  would then be displayed, and all the info so far typed would be inside the New reveal............or


No, and the Reveal Message would just disappear.


This would introduce the feature to lots more members, and keep the forum nice a neat visa long lists of results everywhere.


Tell me all what you think.
[reveal]especially you Victor![/reveal]

[chrisbis]

@Victor.


Morning.
Did U get chance to have a look at this idea above? (Reply#9) 

[VLS]

Yes Chris, the idea is BRILLIANT (heck, I'd love to see it in place!), yet the implementation may require some chunk of A.I. programmed.


As things are at this precise moment, I'd rather keep it on the "long term to do" list 


Right now I must focus in fixing our current feature-set!
