Hey everyone,

Since this forum is all about sharing and collective learning, I thought it would be nice if we could offer a small reward (however symbolic it may be) to those who are especially generous with help, tips, tricks and tools, and who inspire others to make great art.

So from this day forward, you can thank people for the posts they make! :)

To do this there is a little button on the top right of every qualifying post (not this one):

And when you press...

Wow, thanks for the mention! I definitely took more than I gave being on this wornderful forum. This is a fantastic community of users and it has been a pleasure to be part of it. Everyone here is extremely talented, experienced and generous and I've learned a lot from you, guys.
Keep up with this great work, SecondMan and thanks for running WSL. I probably wouldn't be using Fusion if WSL didn't exist.

Greetings ye that suck less! I bring good tidings!

As you all (should) know, We Suck Less has been hosting a mirror of the venerable, but sadly abandoned VFXPedia .

It's still the same great Fusion resource as it ever was, where you can find tools, tips, tricks and know-how. However, since the mirror does not contain the actual, original database, you have to keep digging and clicking link after link to find something. Pretty cumbersome at best. Pretty hopeless at worst.

Until now.

Good point! Thanks for that :)

Hey everyone,

Don't worry. I'm not about to serve ads on WSL...

Lately I've been receiving a couple of emails, from different people, asking me in some form or other:

Hi,

Can I post my tools for sale on your forum? What should I do to comply with the community rules?

Do you charge for advertising on We Suck Less?

I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on this...

As a lot of you already know, I am always happy to help support worthwhile third party efforts for Fusion, whether they...

Ah, you've just made my evening. Thanks for the kind words, gregausina :)

WSL 101 - how to search the forum

I've been asked a few times recently how to do a search on WSL. Here's a quick primer.

Throughout the forum there are search boxes to be found. Your first port of call would probably be the one on the index page itself:

Just put in a couple of keywords and press Enter. Boom - you've performed a search :)

It doesn't stop there, though. When browsing forums, you will find another Search box a little further down. It works the same way, but performs a search in that specific forum only:...

Oooooh yes finally here! An oft requested feature, and one that I've been rooting for myself for quite a while - marking posts as best answers!

Let's dive right in and see how this works with an example topic:

In this exemplary topic, a question is asked by - first of all - using a meaningful title. Then in the opening post we can find the question itself, together with a quick explanation of why the question is being asked. All of this in a very friendly tone. Many bonus...

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

A lot of you have been posting screenshots and other images to help illustrate issues and questions, which is obviously great. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words.

Unfortunately, some of them have been taking up about a thousand kilobytes each, too... :)

Now that's currently no big deal, and as it is I'm barely limiting the capacity for uploading material to the board. After all, what we want to build is the best resource for Fusion out there, so...

thank you for your efforts in taking care of the forum.

Before posting a new topic, please search for similar ones. Certain topics come back all the time, and further down the line it would be great if similar ideas are consolidated in single threads. The admins read most (if not all) of the topics here and will merge where appropriate, but bonus points for doing it yourself. ;)

Be descriptive in your topic titles! There are good reasons for...

WSL Feature Request: Option to Exclude Code Blocks from Search Results

Last post by SecondMan « 2 weeks 4 days ago

by intelligent machine » 2 weeks 4 days ago

First post

I find myself searching for old posts frequently but the only relevant keywords I can think of also happen to be in code everywhere. It would be really nice to be able to filter out all results with the search terms contained exclusively within code blocks.

As a random example: There is a topic somewhere in here about minimum depth (the actual topic title is (Minimum) Bit Depth Management ), however both of these words ( minimum and depth ) are in code blocks EVERYWHERE.

Last post

the actual topic title is (Minimum) Bit Depth Management

You can search in titles only in the Advanced Search page .

At this time this is not possible, as the search is basically going through the contents of posts and that's where the code blocks live. The search is in that sense not that clever , because cleverness in algorithms demands computing power, which we don't exactly have in spades, at least not compared to something like Google.

Speaking of which, you can also use Google Search...

Is there a Google Docs BBcode that supports embedding spreadsheets hosted by Google? I'd like to share one and having it embedded would be nice.

Thanks,
