@joecool111,

Unfortunately, due to security reasons I decided it would be better to just simply show the text. Even without the security reasons, I would have to somehow figure out how to render BBCODE to HTML, which isn't easy. So unfortunately I don't think I can do that. I actually had intended to remove all html and bbcode from the posts (apparently I didn't get all of it). I should say that in the description. Sorry for the inconvenience.

still an amazing plugin tho

[₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪]

A feature request if you're okay with it: I'd love to have a variable in the "Post HTML" field in the plugin's settings that stands for the thread name. Getting to put the thread name for each post would be neat!

I also wanted to know if there's a recommendation for the maximum characters? I know that keys can only hold 4k characters, so does that mean if I put 1,000 characters as the max it would break something? If there's a "hard max," throwing that in the field tooltip would help out. ^^

Haven't found any glitches yet and don't have any further requests currently, will post if that changes on either front ^^ I'm loving this plugin and very grateful that you coded it! Such a neat addition!

₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪, I'll see what I can do. The reason I didn't include that initially is because it's actually hard to get. Especially in the case where the thread hasn't been created. If I do include it you'll have to understand that it will be spotty at best. :/

[₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪]

That's quite alright, it's an amazing plugin without that feature so I'm not worried about it being included ^^

[₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪]

I thought of a feature request I'd love to have if possible, Texas! The ability to add a title! Right now, if I add a title to the HTML of the plugin, it shows up on top of every post, so I went into the layout template instead and made a title there. Except now if there's no posts to show for an account, there's just an awkward title hovering over an empty area xD If the title were part of the plugin, it could go invisible if there were no posts and make new accounts look less awkward. If you do decide to incorporate a title, I'd like the same HTML abilities for customization if possible, since I personally have a TD class around mine =)

If that's not feasible, perhaps a "This user has no posts" option so at least there wouldn't be a stand-alone title on new accounts? ^^

₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪, seems feasible to me. I'll see if I can't get it worked out.

I know you're trying to strip html out - I think I found some more tags that weren't stripped

shieldrpg.net/user/1

So to list:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:center;">
<tbody>

(And their closing tags) aren't being stripped out

Boy_Wonder,

Thanks, I'll add that to the list of things to do in the next release.

Also seconding that I'd love if there's some way to grab the thread title for each stored thread - even if it requires the plugin generate a popup to store the post once created
