Okay, not sure what caused that. But there might have been an overlap of tags. BB Code is pretty fickle. Generally, it requires an open tag followed by a closing tag, before starting another one. Also can’t handle spaces.

Actually if you take a look at the previous page, you can see that your incorrect formatted list stuffs up the formatting for the posts that come after it. I can fix that by deleting the list or editing it correctly, but will leave it for now so you can see it.

Your code is:
<li>apples
oranges
pears
tangerines</li>

But should be…[Read more]

Ah, I think I have figured out your conundrum. It could be either of these explanations.

When I clicked on one of the latest post (date links) it took me to the reply box. But just above it was a small post and the browser had in reality jumped to the post, but because it was small, it naturally showed the reply box underneath. Had…[Read more]

Okay t8,

Now I understand. So if I make a “New Thread”, it will be forum format, and not blog format, right?

Yup. Just as before. But if you want to blog, I can give you access to that too.

🙂

It works for me. When I click the date of the latest post it takes me directly to the last post.
As you can see, the latest post in Skeptics Area is 3 months old and there are newer posts than that. But it is still the latest post in that topic and forum. I think it randomises what to show here, but chooses the latest from a forum.

If you click…[Read more]

I have no idea what you’re talking about! 🙂

Okay, see if you can follow this………

Oh okay, I see the problem.

Nothing has really changed in this respect.
Before the new forum, the other part of the site worked as it does, albeit a few enhancements. And the forum was separate and you went there by clicking the forum link.…[Read more]

Yeah bbcode is just shortcode that produces HTML code.
But lists in bbcode produces list code that is now deprecated code.
These days, all tags that open must have a closing tag.
bbcode list code only has the opening tag
but not a closing one

WordPress rejects code if it is not correct.

But yes, a list without the <ul> tags as…[Read more]

Using the toolbar it took a few seconds to achieve a list.

Code:
<ul>
<li>apples</li>

<li>oranges</li>

<li>pears</li>

<li>bananas</li>

<li>kiwifruit</li>
</ul>

Renders as:

apples

oranges

pears

bananas

kiwifruit

I just typed out the list, then selected the whole lot and clicked ul then selected each item one at a time and…[Read more]

Lists don’t work here in bbcode because WordPress rejects it as the code is no longer kosher HTML.

A proper list must now have a closing tag for each listed item, and bbcode only has an opening tag.

However, you can build lists from the toolbar and it gives the correct HTML5 code.

I noticed that old lists in old posts causes subsequent posts to…[Read more]

Point taken. Jesus said, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent”.

So for me to respond to that correctly, I then believe that eternal life is to know the ONLY true God AND Jesus Christ whom HE has sent”.

I could keep my signature as is but remove the quotes, so as to not imply…[Read more]

Red

The end tag is not red but

Also, when the bbcode tags are not nested correctly, they stop working and output as text.

Instructions on using a signature is here:

Signature enabled

Custom Font

I guess that it doesn’t support that tag.

You are free to reject his words. I choose to accept them. I can only ultimately be responsible for myself in this regard. I choose to hear his words and encourage others to do so too. I really cannot help beyond that.

Actually Mike, I take that back. It looks like BB Code works here too. Good discovery.
Your comment above just needs a little tidy up. Best not to overlap BB Code tags. If you start with one, then close it before starting with the next. Also, any stray closing tags will show up as text.

Cheers 🙂
