how can i create a sign which allows users to Tag it, but when read it would still show the Other users Tags on it, so when user A adds "User A was here" to a sign that perviosly said "Welcome" it would say You look at the sign "Welcome","User A was here" by User A"
and so if user B writ "User A is silly" then it would say "Welcome","User A was here" By User A, User A is silly by User B
s this possible, im hopeing its a simple already made byond mini proc

There's no simple proc for this, no. But basically any writing to the sign should add to a list, and whenever you look at it it would read from the list.

obj/Sign
  var/Writing = "Welcome" //default text for the sign
  Read()
    set src in oview(1)
    usr << src.Writing //usr << browse(src.Writing) also works
  Write(T as msg) //msg is like text, but it's multi-line input
    set src in oview(1)
    src.Writing += "<br><br>[html_encode(T)]<br><i>written by: [usr.name]</i>" //Adds 1 blank line between messages, and adds their text, without any HTML, then adds their name in itallics on the next line.
  Erase()
    set src in oview(1)
    src.Writing = ""


That SHOULD work, but it isn't tested. Sorry for the long commment there.

Gah, I always get it confused, number is num and message is message. Why can't DanTom decide to use abbreviations or the whole word? And no, I'm not asking for a reply from Dan or Tom, or any changes to DM.
