Thread: Formatting problem
Admin 13:00 08-03-2004
Hello Louis de la Ferte Ste Colombe,

Formatting is quite different from Ikonboard. The convertor took care of some. Some common one were stripped by a tool, didn't realize that that code was for exclamation marks , so it's just blank instead of ! now. "

The code for say the [spoil ] tag is too different. I was afraid that it would break something if the script had a go at that, so that will be changed manually.

Quote. This board does not quote quoted quotes quoted by quoting quoters. Quoting a post that contains a quote, just puts the new content in a new quote and skips the quote.

I haven't investigated the rest of the bb code yet, but it's pretty easy to add new bb code. Perhaps some code works differently? Check the bb code helpcard?

The [img ] tag was disabled for signatures, meaning that no-one could see them :(
It's enabled now.

Please update your signature and strip HTML code. < anything > is HTML code and [ anything ] is bb code. All your posts will look much better at once.

Thanks.

Ok, so I guess it means rewriting some critical posts.

BTW, lot of sticky seems to be back from the grave...

Louis,

That's because of how different backups were merged together. Expect most to be unsticked soon.

Not only stickies, you'll find some very old posts here.

Rewriting. Depends. Which give a problem Louis de la Ferte Ste Colombe? I'll add 1 line to the text parser which will make some look better. And perhaps just adding another bb code will fix something, though I'm blank about what would be missing.

Mainly; color code, size code, "code" code (or table code)... Not a big deal I guess. Quite simple to review and correct. Probably not worth your time and effort.

Louis,

Thanks Louis,

Mithrandir used quite some formatting there. We'll have to do that manually. Other posts looks better now.

Another format problem: multiple spaces. Anything with multiple spaces has had them replaced by *'s, and now the board automatically removes multiple spaces.

There were 3 spaces before this; not any more.
* Old stuff turns out looking like this, with two of the three the spaces removed and an asterix added.

It's a pain; I had got used to using indents of three spaces in my story threads, since it makes the end result look more like a book, and, more importantly, easy to follow.
