Link The Source In TOLoRS

chippysmall4

This Is More Of A Za-Chary Suggestion An Less Of A Scratch Suggestion, But :
Include The Source Link In The First Section Of TOLoRS.
Specifically: This!
It would make it easy to Quote TOLoRS with the BBcode, without quoting it
why not?

The TOLoRS source ; https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/3466932/source/
it includes the BBcode, so it would be easier to quote TOLoRS if it was linked in the post.
it would be included in the first part of TOLoRS

This has been suggested before, but for the time being I decided against it because some weird symbols appear in the source that might disrupt a quote, if the quoting is not done carefully. See for example the â€ characters in the title of entry 4.1.

In the future, please direct any TOLORS-related suggestions to the TOLORS thread itself. That keeps things organized and also guarantees that I'll see it.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

Some characters aren’t supported in source, and it’ll go â€, and why not just click the source button, or add /source after the link?

Both Of Those Don't Work ; The Link Has To Be Modified Further Than Adding “source” to the end. And the “source button” doesn't link to the source, from what I can tell, it links to the HTML.

Not much link modification has to be done, you just have to get the post link, and that's it. Source link for your post: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/7891966/source/
Literally all you have to do to get a source is to right click the post date, that's a link, click “copy link address” and add /source at the end of the link and it works.

Also see the names for the other translated TOLoRS, they're also messed up, and see entry 1.6, as the cloud symbol in cloud lists also do not work.

Edit: Also, I forgot to add the dates for the previous lists also have these unsupported character replacements.
