Question about formatting

[bruceb]

Why is it that this forum will not allow or accept
user defined formatting ? ?

There are lots of times when I might want to say
either use Color Text or put things in like a columar
order in a post ... It can't be done, even by using the
Space Bar to insert spaces and put it where I would
like it ... When it posts the forum software, takes out
my desired format.

I am using Firefox 1.5.0.5

I have BBCode ... bbCodeExtra .... htmlXtra .... xhtmlXtra

as installed extensions ... not sure which one your forum
would take

Thanks

The thing I love most about AT Forums is that it's simple and clean. We're not assaulted by colourful text and other annoying things.

Please, Mods, don't ever change this.

Then why did you seem to be the only one taking full advantage of the sig "exploit"?

There are times when it is very helpful to be able to
color or format text, such as when trying to post
pinouts or other items that might want to be aligned
such as in a table

My exploits were for purposes other than cute sigs. However, that's not something that needs to be elaborated on, so let's just leave it at that.

Currently available to us is bolded, italicized and underlined text. In addition to that, we have the ability to highlight text. If that's not enough for you, FuseTalk offers the ability to make bulleted lists:

• Bulleted Item
  Bulleted Item
  Bulleted Item

And even more fun:

[*]Listed Item
[*]Listed Item
[*]Listed Item

And if you want even MORE, we have the ability to divide out posts with lines


Is that not enough?

Is it just me, or are bulleted items and listed items flip-flopped?

Thats all well and good .. but I would like the
ability to use Color or to Retain the format
of a post in the way I type it in.

It is usefull that way, on occasion.

You won't get colour. As for the format, you're out of luck.

Links are blue, that's enough colour for me.

Don't fix what ain't broke.

These forums aren't broken (not speaking for the Search function however).
