n00bs and formatting by lizard.boy on 05-03-2004 at 12:33 AM
i think the font size, type, and color should be taken out of the post thread/reply because noobs use them and half the time they dont close the tags. i know i share the same opionions as some other users and a different font is ugleh anyway. but dont take the bbcode support out cause then tochjo's congrats are useless

[color=red][size=6][font=Arial]indeed it can be a bit annoying for a strange reason but well, i remember learning how to make a link with html (<a href='http://bleh'>Bleh</a>) and i found it so damn confusing i had to put it in a txt just so i could remember it 
[color=green]but bbcode is pretty simple compared to that 
[size=1]theres even a close tags button ffs

Cant you just set it so tags are automatically shut when posting? Most of them get the idea of the start of the code, putting it at the begining.
Maybe that would help?

N00BS HAVE TO [color=red]LEarN!YOU WERE ONCE LIKE THEM...IF WE DON'T TEACH THEM WITH THE FORMAT BAR THEY'LL NEVER LEARN!!!....
RE: n00bs and formatting by saralk on 05-03-2004 at 07:24 PM
maybe when u click post, there should be a pop-up saying they havent closed all of their tags, and the message may not appear as they intended it to.

RE: n00bs and formatting by lylesback2 on 05-05-2004 at 09:21 PM
should really add a [n00b] BBCode
RE: n00bs and formatting by lizard.boy on 05-05-2004 at 11:50 PM
what would that do anyway? randomly insert unclosed tags ?
RE: n00bs and formatting by lylesback2 on 05-06-2004 at 02:23 AM
HAHHA there needs to be one touch open and close tags.. instead of just opening them... people are too confused...
or better yet..
EDIT YOUR POSTS!
RE: n00bs and formatting by .blade// on 05-06-2004 at 02:36 AM
what should happen is it opens AND closes the tag, and the places the cursor in the middle (between the tags).
