Hmmm...first time I ever saw this! :o

I think he said it works with IE6.0

Life is complicated enough.  I don't need coloured text and junk.  I'm QUITE happy emphasizing with caps and whatnot.

(hey, what does this button do?)

pretty darn spiffy, actually.

the hard returns confounded me so.

i turned it off.
Andrea Krause · 21 years, 4 months ago
I was forced to pick no, but I think it WOULD be spiffy if it actually worked on my machines. :) (actually I haven't tried it on THIS machine which has 6, but it would be a pain to keep turning it off and on. :) )

Or...would that not be an issue now that you upped it? Would it just not show up on my machines that didn't handle it before?
Josh Woodward Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
yeah, i originally thought it would work with IE 5, but it turns out that IE 6 is the limit.
sheryls Back · 21 years, 4 months ago

just hold down shift and hit return, that'll make it go just one line down.
like this.

see? :)

@whee! :D

Ooh!  Awesome!
Thanks!  :)

How was it not working with IE5? It worked fine for me monday night.
A girl named Becca · 21 years, 4 months ago

I can't set the font before I start typing in frums...well, I can, but it doesn't do anything.  It uses whatever the default is, and then I have to highlight the text after I type it in order to change it.  Colors work fine, though, and it doesn't seem to be an issue here....just with frums, I guess.  Any hypotheses?  Anyone else getting the same thing?

I voted for it being spiffy... but... I disabled it last night, and there's no way to re-enable it. :-/
Andrea Krause Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
Yes there is...follow the same link from the main page news item and it now asks if you want to enable them instead of disable.

For those who don't have the "Site News" block on their mainpage, here's the link:

did that. They were showing as "enabled" still.. so I disabled and reenabled... still gone.

That's not how I had disabled them, though, I disabled them with the button on the HTML editor itself.
Josh Woodward Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
oh really? was it IE 5.5+ by chance?

UPDATE: it probably was. IE5.5 seems to be the cutoff.
Josh Woodward Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
would you all like it better if return gave a single line? i think i would..
Josh Woodward Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
> I disabled them with the button on the HTML editor itself.

what button? *grins*
nate... Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
Heh.. the little one in the bottom right (as I recall)... for becca, that just causes it to go to a little gray bar.. but.. that's what I clicked last night, and now it's gone completely.
A girl named Becca Back · 21 years, 4 months ago

The "toggle mode" button....you know, the one that doesn't go away when you click it and changes everything back if you click it again?  ;P

nate... Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
Hrm... unless that happened to be, by chance, at the same time you said it wouldn't work with IE 5...... and I'm on 5.5 right now.... Would that do it? do you have it so that it doesn't even show up for people using IE 5.5?
Josh Woodward Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
oh gotcha. unfortunately, it still uses the advanced DHTML features in "simple" mode as well, so the IE 5.0 and below folks still can't use that.
meh · 21 years, 4 months ago

I answered "no," for a variety of quirky little reasons that are probably just me being weird, but it occured to me that when I remember to use the little on/off toggle while I'm creating my message, I can end-run around pretty much everything that annoys me by playing with the html.
This even works on the two-line return, thing.  You've just got to toy with the tags a little.

So, uhm... consider one "no" answer to be "no-but-sorta-in-the-long-run."?

sheryls Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
i personally dont care, as i generally put 2 lines between things anyway. it doesnt bother me either way :)
Talcott Back · 21 years, 4 months ago

Yeah, it was 5.5, but I'm almost sure that I remembered it working on my 5.0 at home. I might be wrong though.

 

Josh Woodward Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
Like someone said above, the current way around the two-line return is to hit Shift-Return. I plan to put a hack in place to make it do that from the start, though.
beth-pseudocanuck! Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
the shift+enter is unnatural to me...
Sarah Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
I wonder if there is anything that tells which Mac versions are equivilant to Windows versions. I'm running a mac and I get the editor in forums and I'm on version 5.1 (I think that's actually the latest for mac) Sarah
nate... Back · 21 years, 4 months ago
I KNOW I would.....
