[Jumpto]

Hi!

I'm trying to write out a forum post, but I would like to use some kind of [jumpto] function within my posts that jumps to different sections (sort of like a table of contents). However, I've tried most of the standard BB Codes for doing this, and they all seem to be unrecognized by the forum. Does anyone know of a functional way of doing this? Has it been turned off in the forum layout, and if so, why?

Thanks in advance! :)

How about hyperlinks?

The forum layout hasn't been turned off, just have been changed due to latest one so that it looks prettier etc(and works better on phone). The old layout is different.....

I can't seem to get the forum to handle hyperlinks either, I might just be doing it wrong. Could you double check for me? :p

EDIT: It might be such that the preveiw window isn't handling it well. But I don't really want to post my thread without having the syntax in order :/

So far, I've tried using the following:

Anchors + [jump/goto]
Anchors + Hyperlinks
IDs + Hyperlinks

Neither is correctly displayed when I preview the text I'm trying to write. I might just go ahead and post to see if I can get it to work within a post.

Code:
<h2 id="C4">Chapter 4</h2>
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy
    text of the printing and typesetting industry.
    Lorem Ipsum has been the industrys standard
    dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown
    printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to
    make a type specimen book. It has survived not only
    five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting,
    remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the
    1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lore
    Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing
    software like Aldus PageMaker including
    versions of Lorem Ipsum.
<a href="#C4">Jump to Chapter 4</a>

[jumpto=start]This takes you to a new location within a post[/jumpto]

Neither of which appear to be functional. So much frustration going on, lol.

(Promise I'll stop posting now, sowwie.)

Do you want to jump to different posts or different section of a post?
If you want to jump to a different post then you can just use anchors, like this. Eventually divide whatever you want to make into different posts :p

I want to jump to different sections within a post if possible. Thanks for the tip though, I'll have use of that too! :)

This used to be possible with [jumpto] and [jumpfrom], but looking at one of my old threads where I made extensive use of it, the entire thing looks pretty ugly now. Guess that's yet another aspect of the forum that was broken by the update and hasn't been fixed in almost twelve months.
