Nested Lists in Proboards Forum Not Working??

[Sammiie]

Creating *functioning* lists on Proboards Forums have to be the hardest thing! 

I'm trying to create an ordered list with another unordered bullet indented below, and then be able to continue the ordered list as is. I've been doing it the way I learned in HTML by nesting another list within it to make the one unordered bullet indent underneath the others. (I'm sorry if this is confusing)

I've tried doing this in BBCode, but for whatever reason after the nested unordered bullet, my list breaks. The code doesn't register even though I haven't closed the tags to the ordered list. At first, it was creating an indented bullet point and then just breaking the rest of the list, but now (not sure what's changed, still doing the same code) it's not working at all (see below).

1. List 1
2. List 2
3. Indented List 1

[/ul][li]List 3[/li][/ol]

[li]List 1[/li]
[li]List 2[/li]
[ul][li]Indented List 1[/li][/ul]
[li]List 3[/li][/ol]

And here, have a screenshot of my board:

Huh, you know I have never actually attempted this in a post. I'm not actually sure that ordered and unordered lists nest in UBBC (which may not be a ProBoards specific problem if so).

By all accounts you're doing everything as you should so you may want to ask in the main support board if this is a supported feature or not. The admins are gone for the day but business hours resume at 9AM pacific til 5PM pacific.

If I am understanding your code correctly, you're trying to insert a nested unordered list into one of the items in your ordered list and that can definitely be done but what I see is the LI being closed before starting that nested list rather than having that nested list wholly contained within the parent LI. If you are more familar with tables this would be like trying to start a nested table in the TR instead of the TD.

The corrected code below appears to work fine and produces a unordered nested list within an ordered list

Chris :( showing me up as usual

i kid i kid, this is what i get for trying to do this on my phone

[Sammiie]

Chris, I love you.

Thank you so much! Wow, it seemed to be something SO SIMPLE, as it usually is with coding.


Also, thank you both for answering this! 

[Chris]

That's just recognition from having made the same mistake myself innumerable times in the past Kami , so it's more like your perfect, meticulous coding (which I admire greatly) has not had the opportunity to lead to the scars I have on my psyche that immediately throbs when I see similar situations being repeated.

Sammiie glad to be of service

Chris you flatterer :P
