More options for default bbcode

[Stinky666]

The default bbcode is great. However, I find it annoying having to remove the stuff when I go to a PM.
What I use it for, and others do, it is not needed in PMs, so my suggestion is, can the bbcode text have some more options? Well, 1 only actually. Maybe turn it into two:


Default BBCode [*]Posts [*]PMs [*]Both
[text area here still]

Something like that. By default "both" would be checked. SO then if I only have "Posts" checked, it doesn't appear in my text area when I create or reply to a Private Message..

We might consider doing this, I guess I just never saw it as a problem because I just ctrl+A and delete. My hands never even leave the keyboard most of the time.

This could easily be made into a plugin with customizable settings, but a simple code should do the trick to clear the BBCode text area of default BBCode for PMs.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
           if (proboards.data('route').name == "new_message") {
           $("textarea").attr("value", "");
}
    });
   
</script>

This of course would go in a global header or the forum wrapper layout template.

As brilliant as that is, unfortunately David Clark, not every forum I go on is going to put that into their H/F. A perfect example being: will you (PB Support) put it in yours for me?

Nah - I thought you were talking about for SI.

I just checked and it looks like Michael added this to our feature idea tracker.

I was mainly, but it also is the case for other forums too.
And awesome Thanks Michael

Thanks as well to you for offering a solution for the meantime though David, I do appreciate it. So I hope you don't think I don't.
