More change!

[nicecupoftea]

The posting window has changed! (actually changed as I was posting)

And it's impossible to use more than 1 dash in a sentence - if I do then the bit in between the dashes gets crossed out - like this!

Any other new features?

Edit: Hang on, this window is back to the way it was - what's going on!? The other one looked a bit more windows-y and all the icons were bunched up with the text on the left underneath the posting window...

New smilies not working?

Oh, it's gone back.

I've put the new form live in P&P and General Gassing so far. I'm easing this one in gently!

There's a new parser sitting behind it which gives a lot more formatting options (click the formatting link for some info).

Hence the issue with the hyphens, it sounds like it's confusing the -strikeout- format. I'll look at that now.

More than single quotes don't appear to be working?

[moleamol]

Quotes seem a bit funny.

Nested quotes end up with the first one as just ... and then the quote code seems to go wrong and you end up with

in the middle of the quotes. Check out http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

I'm liking the new posting form. It looks nice and clean and tidy with no huge problems so far (other than my clumsy fingers).

[PetrolTed]

Thanks. Sussed that one. Change will go up shortly.

Oooo, so what/where is the wiki then?

test : Buyers Guide

edit: ah, not there yet then!

That's a hint of what's to come

Once I'm happy that the posting form is behaving properly then we'll start introducing the Wiki functionality. Hopefully Monday/Tuesday next week.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Ah! Looks funky (although I'm ont sure about the icons at the top, but that might just be my archaic 17" CRT )

Edit: is it prioritising smilies OK? I'm sure (:hehe used to come out as ( ) and I didn't have to put in the extra space as I do on lesser forums

What does this mean?

It means that people will be able to create topics that behave like a Wikipedia. They are one page articles that anyone (with permission) can edit. We hope to be able to build up buyers guides, guides to race circuits, alternative parts lists, insurance tips etc. etc.

Thanks Bodo. I'm off to do some more testing
