Multiple Questions

[mourgebaby]

Alright, so on my forum when I press bold or italic or font size or what have you, it inserts the bbcode. I notice on here, and on other ProBoards forums I have been on in the past, it doesnt do that. Is there any specific coding I need to add or plugins I should know about to resolve this?

Additionally, I'm trying to make it so that members have to have a minimum amount of post before being able to view certain areas of the forum. I made it so that only custom people, Full Members, could access the certain categories, is that the right way to do it?

Lastly, I'm trying to use Todge's inline spoiler coding, but every time I put it in, it always says that there are errors on multiple lines of coding, which doesnt make very much sense to me as I'm not sure how to fix the specific issues, or what the issues even are. Can someone help me make sense of that?
I will likely have more questions in the future, but for now, can anyone help me out?

Also, I would like to know if you can make it so the 'last edit' popup is disabled on certain posts?

It sounds like you have your profile set to open the posting page in the 'BBCode' side of the viewer, you can change that in your profile by going to 'Edit Profile' >> 'Settings'... 6th option down is 'Posting Default', change that to 'Preview' and you should no longer see the BBCode appearing in the post box.

That is one way, and the simplest, so yep, sounds good to me.

I will need a link to your forum to have any chance of knowing what is going on with the plugin, but if you have a new forum with all the defaults in place there should be no issue. Try unistalling the plugin and download it again from the plugin library to see if it was an instillation issue.

There's a last edit pop-up? Do you mean the Last Edit notification in the bottom-right of the post?

It's difficult to remove it on a post by post basis, but fairly simple to remove forum wide, or even on certain boards. Let us know which you prefer and we can let you know how to do it.

Thank you for all of the previous information that clears things up, I fixed the issue with the inline spoilers, if you could let me know how to remove it forum wide/on certain boards that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Not a problem..

To removed the Last Edit notification globally, in your Admin Panel, select 'Themes' in the drop down menu, top right, then select 'Advanced Styles & CSS'..

Select 'Style Sheet', you should now see a text area full of code on the left with an example of your forum on the right.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the text area, leave a couple of blank lines, then add this...

.edited_by { display: none }

Save Changes, and all should be good.
