1. Say I want to type a text in Courier New_1, or I want to select a word of my post and make it red_1.
In both cases I can interact with the COLOR / FONT dropdown lists in the BBCode options; so far, so good.

But, the issue kicks in when I want to either start a new sentence in Courier New_2, or I want to mark another part of the text in red_2. In fact, the option you select in the dropdown list keeps being marked, and you can't choose it again.

In other words, if I select the string "red_1", click on "COLOR" and then click on "red", consequently I can't perform the same actions with the string "red_2". I'd have to either select a different color, or reset the dropdown list to the "COLOR" (default) option, but with the latter, the {color=0}{/color} BBCode tags are generated ...

Maybe there's another way to go about these dropdown lists?
My idea is to reset the list element to the default one, everytime you select something from the list. This way I'd be able to mark something "red" againg, or I would be able to create another Courirer New piece of text.
The other idea is to generate the BBCode tags everytime I click on an item of the dropdown list, even if it is currently already selected.


Fixed - I think smiling

Tell me if you are happy with the new functionality / reset button.

Well, buddy; I may be the only damn fool that reports / rather notices this issue smile ... No, the whole logic of your BBCode Codor / Size / Font is flawed, compared to other boards I use. The reset button is just a band aid. Just follow me ...

What needs to be done, and I am sure you can do it somehow (cause I believe you've already coded the correct logic into the reset button, you just need to apply it elsewhere), is just to reset each field everytime you use it ... That's the way it is on all Forums: you click "Red"? Okay, a pair of COLOR Tags appears, but "Red" does not stay selected in the dropdown list! (So you can pick "Red" again anytime you want, and spawn an additional pair of COLOR BBCode Tags).

You select a word and want to make it red? Fine, you do it by picking the "Red" option and then the dropdown list resets itself automatically, so that you can select another word and make it red again. No need to manually press any reset button. Do you copy on the correct flow?

Each click you do on Color, Size, Font, should be picked up and spawn the correct BBCode Tags (either wrapping the selected text - which already happens - or by just spawning them at the caret's position); but then the dropdown list should be cleared from the selections you just did. smiling This way you can pick "Red" again, how many times you like.

With your current fix, you'd have to go through an additional click again (with the reset button). I'm being picky cause I believe you can do it easily, just by moving the business logic you've just embedded into the Reset button, put it into an automatism that clears those three dropdown lists everytime they get used. If it's not that immediate - and I don't know it cause I lack PHP knowledge - leave the Reset button as is ... as I am the only one breaking ya balls about this thing. Laugh

Gotta go, catch y'all later!!!

Knew you were going to say this Laugh Laugh FML smile

On testing it myself I knew you'd mention the extra step regarding selecting/reset button etc Laugh

The reset can be a temporary option, it's possible to fix but it's a bit more difficult. No PHP required for this, it's the frontend part with JavaScript & HTML.

No biggie; as I implicitly said I'm the only one that is affected by this issue as I'm one of the few people here which uses the BBCode Tags the most. Thus for me it's oky with the reset button, for the moment. wink

Yes, at least you can hit reset then use the same colour/size/font/heading - you don't have to insert COLOR=0 for example first or a different colour you don't want. It's a temporary solution.

Not sure what the old one looked like but this site looks good to me.

One thing I didn't like though... It emails you your password when you register. It worries me a bit that passwords might be insecure? I changed it as soon as I registered due to this reason.

Cheers.

We never had an old one, but this one is being continually developed & improved. Passwords are encrypted.
