html?

Post by amrogers3 »

Trying to use the

"List"
"List="
"[*]"

buttons but they don't seem to be doing anything. Obviously there is something I am missing but I can't figure out how to make this work. Google was no help either.

Thanks.

I presume you're trying to say that you're having problems using those commands?

These phpbb boards do not use html. So, any sort of html command you try will fail. Additionally, not all phpbb boards use all phpbb codes. The only codes allowed are the ones a site is "programmed" to allow. In this case, the
  • command is not one that's programmed into the system.

    Hope that helps.

hmmm.... these are the exact same commands/buttons at the top when you type a message. I figured if the boards have them listed you should be able to use them.

Honestly, I just don't know.
There was a time they weren't there. I have no idea when they appeared.
That said...

  • item 1
    item 2
    item 3
  • worked for me.

This board doesn't give you a pop-up like other for your list items. The "List" button just gives you the start and end tags. You have to manually place your text in between them. Same goes for IMG and URL tags.

      This is an unordered list
      • alpha
        beta
        omega
      This is an unordered list with bullets "[*]"
      • alpha
      • beta
      • omega
      The list= doesn't appear to work. It should give an ordered list (1,2,3...) I'm placing the above text examples in a code box so you can see how it is structured.

      Code: Select all

      This is an unordered list
[list]alpha
beta
omega[/list]

This is an unordered list with bullets "[*]"
[list][*]alpha
[*]beta
[*]omega[/list]

      basically, whatever you put inbetween the brackets will in a list like YoungWolf demonstrated above.

      If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.
