Posting Suggestion

[Alanna 🥀🖤]

I write really long and complex templates using [ div styles ] and because adding a return inside a post returns the actual text, I keep it all in one long paragraph so I don't have to add negative margins and padding everywhere. But, some people who use my templates that aren't as advanced get lost and then accidentally replace the wrong thing and then I have to fix it. So, I'd like to suggest a Plug-in (rather it not be a plug-in because if someone uses the template from a site that was using the plug-in and they don't... it will mess up) or future feature that you can turn off the "returns in posts effect posting" and instead make it so if you want a return you'll have to add [ br ] instead. This way, I can separate my templates to make it easier for members to use them and not get lost.

I think MANY members who use Proboards would benefit and enjoy this.

Note: It would probably be best if it didn't apple to normal text like this post but it had to apply to text inside [ div tags ] and not simple [ b] or [ i ].

YES. I've been wishing this for ages. Being able to have returns in coding would be amazing for people who code and use posting templates. Sometimes I even get confused with templates I've created myself because the divs and text are so squished together. Being able to organize properly would be great.

I'd like this as well! Or maybe even a tag system like [pbAdvanced] [/pbAdvanced] type affair or similar

By the sounds of it, this wouldn't be something we would be able to offer as a standard feature (even if it is something we can add, I wouldn't expect it for a very long time. We're up to our noses with feature requests the way it is).

But you're welcome to make a plugin request in the plugin board here

Having it a Plugin would defeat the purpose since as I said above: If I used the Plugin and creating my template with it but someone tried using it on a site that doesn't have the Plugin, the template would completely mess up and look horrible.

Why would this not last very long?

You may have misread my post, I meant if it was something we could do, it wouldn't be able to be added for a while due to the amount of work we already have on our plate.

OH! I see now. There is no rush for it but I honestly think it would be a very beneficial thing to add. I know MANY people who use Proboards for Role Play would kill for it (metaphorically, maybe their favorite character).

I've thrown this on the request pile to let the devs rule on it. I would still look into the plugin idea, though. If as many forums want this as you think they do, I don't think your concern will be much of an issue due to how easy plugins are to install. Not to mention, the posting templates in v4 were only possible when an additional code was installed anyway, and those templates were still very popular with RP forums. That may not be as big of an issue as it may sound

You could also always offer two versions, one for sites with the plugin and one for sites without. ^^

Ohhhh I would love this. Especially if you could comment out text in posts like <!-- text --> and have it show up when you view the post's coding, but not when the content is posted.

I'd be fine with a plugin honestly, @khristian did you already request this?

[Alanna 🥀🖤]

I did not request it as a Plugin.

[Kami]

okay!
