Moogle Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Quotes have an issue. When I quote someone it tends to have this annoying line added at the start if I modify the quote at all (by deleting lines, or copypasting in information). I have to manually fix it by editing the BBCode. I don't suppose any admins know enough PHP (or whatever the forum is running on) to solve this particular issue? It seems to be happening less often, though I had it happen earlier today and it was annoying. Edited February 17, 2014 by Moogle
Chaos he/him Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 It's unlikely I'd dare try and fix it--the Rich Text Editor is, let's say, rather strange at times. It comes from the forum software we use and we're kind of at the behest of Invision Power Suite to deal with it. Maybe I'm old school, but I never really liked the change of the editor to a Rich Text Editor. I much prefer typing the BBCode...
Moogle Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 I agree that writing raw BBCode is nicer except in one case: lists. I hate doing lists in BBCode and the rich text editor is a godsend for doing those. I think the problem with quotes comes from the fact that the rich text editor tries to import HTML/whatever and it sometimes strips tags, leaving a space at the start. Not sure. I'm going to try and do more research and see if I can get my hands on a completely legal copy of IPB to see what the rich text editor code is like. I'm curious just how they managed to mess things up so badly...
