Forum Feature Added: Post Columns

[RyanWithWiiM]

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new feature for the forums: columns using BB Code! This is perfect for anyone looking to present information side-by-side, whether you're comparing products, sharing playlists, or just getting creative.

How It Works​

Creating columns is easy! Simply use the new `[postcol]` BB Code or click on the column button in the editor menu.

When typing and viewing the BB Code, it'll look like this:

[POSTCOL=number] All the text you want to write and have split up automatically into columns ! [/POSTCOL]

You can also use [columnbreak] text [/columnbreak] to select breaks, but it's sometimes temperamental.
```

And voilà! You’ll have beautifully structured columns in your posts that are adaptive to the size of the screen and text.

Please Note: The BB Code will even out the text on the sides, but it will try to prevent paragraphs from being broken up between columns. You can use the '=number' to set a number of columns 2, 3, or 4 but it will default to 2 if you don't put a number in.

​

Example in Action​

Here's an example of how it looks in practice:

**Column One**
- Thing A
- Thing B


**Column Two**
- Thing C
- Thing D

Let’s See Your Creativity!
I'm sure there's at least tens of you that will find a great use for this! Whether it’s for organizing detailed guides, sharing comparisons, or just making your posts look sleek—this is your chance to shine.

If you have any questions, need tips, or spot anything that can be improved, let us know below. Together, we’ll keep making this community the best place for all things WiiM!

Happy posting!

I tried but could not get it to work . I'm not sure how to create columns (rows?).

Your last attempt worked.

The biggest trick to it is that the columns will try to not split up paragraphs.

Party-people!
Yeah, Tag Team music in full effect!
That's me - DC the Brain Supreme, and my man Steve Roll'n!
We're kickin' the flow! (We're kickin' the flow!)
And it goes a little something like this!

[Verse 1: DC the Brain Supreme]
Tag Team, back again
Check it to wreck it, let's begin
Party on, party people, let me hear some noise
DC's in the house, jump, jump, rejoice
Says there's a party over here, a party over there
Wave your hands in the air, shake the derriere
These three words mean you're gettin' busy
Whoomp, there it is! Hit me!

[Hook]
Whoomp, there it is!
Whoomp, there it is!
Whoomp, there it is!
Whoomp, there it is!
Whoomp, there it is!
Whoomp, there it is!
Whoomp, there it is!
Whoomp, there it is!

It's not all that impressive on a smartphone display in portrait mode ...

... but I get the picture.

Yeah, it's designed to be reactive based on screen size, so if you're on mobile, you probably won't get columns.
