[/ QUOTE ] Please, can you add the table funtionallity for all of us??? I want to start a new thread in poker software, making a list containing the name, the type of game (holdem, omaha, ...), price, status on different poker rooms, cost, and more information. The ability to use html tables would be a terrific help, and I'm sure more people will find more uses to this same feature. TIA & Regards ... |

Re: I Also Want To Use HTML Tags
if you are making a thread that will really benefit the forums and merits the use of tables, you can probably get a mod to code it for you.
otherwise, get your own websites. |

Giving all users HTML capabilities is a pretty significant security risk, I think. Plus, you would end up with many incredibly obnoxious posts by people who discover the blink tag for the first time.

Re: I Also Want To Use HTML Tags
I have posted about this before somewhere, maybe even here.
It requires a small change to the main stylesheet, specifying a font-family:monospace for the UBB code tags. I certainly posted thanks when this change was implemented in the ill-fated UBB 7 upgrade, but that post was nuked along with many others when the upgrade was rolled back. I guess we don't worry about fixing layout issues on here until the new forum software is rolled out? |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, giving regular users full access to HTML would be madness. I'm even a little skeptical of giving it to mods. Some day a rogue mod is going to insert a nasty little SQL injection and screw up the whole site. Or even worse, start abusing the <blink> tag. An alternative solution is to install a mod allowing users to create tables via BBCode. Not sure if such a mod exists for UBB.threads, but I know it exists for various other forum platforms. I guess it's pretty moot now though, since a switch to new forum software is supposed to be pretty imminent. |

Re: I Also Want To Use HTML Tags
Yeah, there's no way that any new mods will be introduced to the hack job currently running this forum when a switch is looming (I wouldn't say immanent, though. There's still a fair bit of testing to do). When we switch to vBulletin, it'll probably be easier to implement this anyway.

[/ QUOTE ] Seriously, it a tiny alteration to http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/st...ts/infopop.css <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> pre { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ... </pre><hr /> Needs fixing to specify a PRE font - of which these are not. Could it even be implemented in a theme if not in the main stylesheet? EDIT: Whoops, changing my prefs to check looks like infopop.css is the theme. So, any themes already have a pre-formatted font by default for PRE tags? |
