Review bullet points

[Faint]

I've noticed a few people using review bullet point layouts and wanted to give it a shot because it seems more helpful than the usual paragraph format. I don't want to just yank someone else's layout though so I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good generic format that I could tweak myself.

Thanks in advance.

There's a few ways to make bullet point presentations on the steam forums.

· you can use dots
· like this
· which is actually and technically 'real' bullet points.

To type the dot hold the alt key then press 250 on the number pad of your keyboard, then leave go of alt.

or you can use dashes
- like
- this

That's simply the minus sign.

Another way is using forum code to create lists like this:

• Bulleted list
  
• Bulleted list
  
• Bulleted list

or this:

1. Ordered list
   
2. Ordered list
   
3. Ordered list

When you begin to type your reply or create a new thread on these forums a "Formatting help" option appears below the text field. Click on that to learn all of the formatting options and how to do them.

Here is the actual formatting page, in case you want to browse it.
Note, it's always available when typing a review.

It's a little different than what I was imagining but it's useful, thank you.

I've used a couple of these but never saw this page before. Looking over it I can use this to make what I was thinking about (the table at the bottom), thanks.

Welcome. The link Snapjak shared is the same thing that's in the "Formatting Help" link I mentioned. Very possibly where they got it. Just start typing in the reply box or when you start a new thread including a review or guide and it shows up under the 'Subscribe to discussion' checkbox. It's not there until you type something.

I can understand that point of view since my highest rated review was basically just my personal opinion but personally I think the simple to understand quick glance review type has it's benefits so I wanted to give it a shot.
