Formatting problems in posts

Postby Altair » Sat Sep 04, 2004 2:17 am

Two notes:

* you can edit your own posts, when they look funky or whatever. There is an "edit" button, but it only appears for you own posts.


* to use html, you can use the tags on top, or just use regular html, with [] instead of <>

If you use the buttons on top of the writing window, the tags don't appear wherever you have the cursor: they always go to the end of the message.

That is, you can edit them if you preview... or if our admin kindly turn that feature on!

The admin could also change the quote color format.

Err.. actually, my posts in the newbie section don't have the edit button, whereas my post in other sections do. It could be that you need to post a few messages before getting this feature... I'll be able to check that with this very post, let's see 8)

Confirmation : the Newbie section seems to be lacking the 'edit' function.

Hmm two other questions :

1° can you disable the visual mode for good ?
2° Can you set the post diplay order for good somewhere (honestly, I don't like the "latest post first" default value). Wasn't able to find that in the user profile.
