Well, first of all, I have to say I don\'t like this formatting system; you can\'t highlight and format you have to type it in yourself. But anyway...

There seems to be something wrong with the text formatting. I\'m not saying it\'s a glitch, but it\'s like, somehow designed to work improperly. It seems to be most focused around size, I think there\'s only a problem when I use size. If I use only one formatting option (font, size or color), it always works. But if I try to use two or more, it sometimes applies one or more of the text attributes but leaves the other(s) as typed (meaning you can see the code). This is not just a mistake in typing it (i.e. using \"\\\" instead of \"/\"). Sometimes I can fix this by switching the order of the attributes applied, but not always. Bold, italic and underline always work with one other attribute, but if there\'s two or more attributes and one of them won\'t work then sometimes the bold, italic or underline also will show as code. I did not see an option to enable HTML (at least, I don\'t think so, but if I did it\'s checked), and the provided FAQ shows only one attribute/coding \"tool\" at a time.

As long as we\'re here, what\'s up the e-mail? I always check the ~\"e-mail me replies to this topic\"~ (approximate quotes that my usuage of will probably explained once or twice) box when I post, but I do not get notifyed of replies by e-mail or even by the board inbox system. All that happens is it is added to a list of \"subscriptions,\" and there is even no notification within those subscriptions. It only shows the name of the thread and the last poster. How is that supposed to help me when I\'ve got more then one page of threads? (Yes I realize you already know all of this but I like to use the words this way so it\'s more, wtf?)

Finally, a suggestion, maybe you should have an official topic for stupid questions, and I think stupid people would post there, as long as you don\'t call it \"stupid questions,\" (and then they\'re gonna be like, \"OMFG ur insuultng me!\" (okay so I don\'t do good n00b)), you will still have topics like that just not as many.

P.S. I told you it was a stupid question.

To cover most of your questions:

- When using multiple attributes, be sure to put the opening and closing tags in opposite order. For example, do like: Blablabla
- There\'s no HTML allowed. The BBCode should be sufficient for all your needs.
- The e-mail notification doesn\'t work for everyone, especially for people using @aol.com accounts. The messages are being blocked, and I can\'t do anything about it.
- About stupid questions: most of the concerned people would still ignore the topic, I\'m afraid...

If you meant SPAM filters, I always make sure they\'re completely disabled (MSN sucks). But that was more like an \"Is it supposed to work?\" then a \"Please fix it.\" And I kinda figured you disabled HTML, that was just there in case someone told me to use it instead. For the coding, however, I know the correct order of opening and closing tags. When I said I tried switching the order, I meant,


text

or

text.


Sometimes this makes it work but not always. When you\'re only trying to use two attributes there\'s only two possible orders, and sometimes neither of them work. With that code, preview, it worked when the size was first (on the outside), but when the color was first it was shown as small text with color coding around it.

The \"Who are you?\" topic I wouldn\'t have found except that I saw another topic made by someone introducing themselves when searching through Wind\'s posts, so I found that topic and then followed the link. \"Who are you?\" sounds like known members telling about themselves, like it might be a profile to fill out with questions such as, \"What is your favorite color?,\" or, \"How old are you?,\" but if you have a lot of loose intro topics it might be (partly) because it doesn\'t actually SAY (no italics) intro.

I know there are a few issues with the BB Code, but those are harder to fix... Sometimes, you can get around those by switching the tags around, like you did. I\'ll see if I can do something about it.

Okay. Sorry about posting this as a seperate topic, then. I wasn\'t sure if it was the board or if there actually was a specific order you\'re supposed to put them in or something. I saw a topic for bugs but I didn\'t see it until after I posted this, but then again I wasn\'t sure if this was a bug or my stupidity. So, yeah, point of this post: Sorry about posting this as a seperate topic. :cool:<---random emoticon

ANOTHER DUMB QUESTION!!!

Alright, so this one\'s not so dumb. It\'s about Kiryu\'s sig. He is banned, so his sig, avatar, mood, etc., should stay the same as it was when he was last here. It used to say something along the lines of ~\"I dare you to ban me Dr. Cossack, ha ha ha ha ha!,\"~ I believe. Now it\'s, well, what it is. Um, yeah, that\'s a question. ?

I figured this doesn\'t go in bugs, \'cause, well, I don\'t know if it\'s a bug, it\'s just a question, and it was too, um, un-topic-worthy to make another topic on, so I figured I\'d post it here. This can be the dumb/useless board-related question topic, or something.

Edit - Wow do I sound n00bish, ;;;.
