Author Message   MHD Citizen Username: Mayhewdrive Post Number: 3077 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Saturday, December 10, 2005 - 10:22 pm:        Has anyone else noticed that when you click on the "B" (for bold) or the "I" (for Italics), it puts the formatting codes at the BOTTOM of the message, which is an inconvenience when you go to format a message AFTER you write. I could swear it used to put the codes wherever your cursor was, but now it seems to always put the code at the very end (and you have you then cut/paste the code to the proper location.) Anyone else notice this? Dave/Jamie - can this be fixed?   Rastro Citizen Username: Rastro Post Number: 1965 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Sunday, December 11, 2005 - 12:07 am:        MHD, what browser are you using? I run into this with Firefox, but not with IE.   MHD Citizen Username: Mayhewdrive Post Number: 3078 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Sunday, December 11, 2005 - 7:54 am:        Rastro, Good point. I am using Firefox. Come to think of it, when it "used to work", I probably was using IE.   monster Supporter Username: Monster Post Number: 1717 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 11, 2005 - 10:38 am:        You could always just type the code by Quote: hand.   Ligeti Citizen Username: Ligeti Post Number: 484 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, December 12, 2005 - 10:44 am:        Why can't one simply click bold or italics and see the format change without all these squirrelly "codes"? What am I missing here?   Rastro Citizen Username: Rastro Post Number: 1968 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Monday, December 12, 2005 - 1:20 pm:        The software that runs this board does not support that kind of functionality. There are tools that do, but they may lack other features that people want.
