Is formatting going to be fixed? discussion on Kongregate

Oct 13, 2008 12:57pm

Quotes and everything don’t work anymore and it is pretty bothersome. I hear it has something to do with post length and I need to make huge posts in serious discussion.

If your post is over 1500 chracters the textile formatting doesn’t work. HTML still does though

to quote do <pre>text here</pre>

bold bold text here

To do italics, use the <em> tags
To do bold, use the <strong> tags

That is all.

Use <blockquote></blockquote> instead of bq. as well when your posts exceed 1500 characters.

I didn’t know that. Thanks.

That would explain this post. I was wondering why that happened.

That was a lot easier, considering I love to quote.

I wasn’t the one who changed it; nor do I care for having to use html in longer posts.

I’m guessing it was done for performance reasons though, since I believe it was a site wide change.

Yes, typing a tag that is much longer and wrapping it when you often use many quotes is annoying and pointless, besides performance I guess.

Today I notice that I can’t even paste into posts so it means typing the tag twice and hand typing what I want to quote…. I can’t use these forums like this.

edit: okay, maybe this copy paste thing is just me because I am having problems outside of this website, nvm that I guess

edit2: just needed to restart my computer, weird…

Any chance that the need to use HTML will change? Maybe it could be different rules for different forums.
