notice a small bug

i like the new quote feature, but i found a small bug:

if you don' t close quote, then it will appear like

this...I didn' t close the tag, so everything below becomes a part of the quote, which is not what i want.

can u do a check on unclosed tag and don' t quote it?

Thanks

so you mean there is no way to check for unclosed tags?

I think you can make a regular expressions check to prevent unclosed tags.

No, it is just that the preview function will be just enough. I don' t want to make the pgdcode function longer than it actually needs.

I agree ... I think that the preview feature will fix alot of that. You can' t do everything for the user.

Thanks Mike, and to Freddy, I am not saying I don' t want to add it because I am lazy (I am not at all), it is just that I don' t want to sacrifice performance for this very minor thing. The spell checker is also a pain in the #$% too. It adds almost no true values to the forum and makes the forum runs like a snail.


By the way, Mike, have you started using the Avatars yet? many of the commercial license holders didn' t even touch it or upgrade to our latest version (I know they need some time to do their own testings) if so, how is it? Albert mentioned in his e-mail that he actually think the Avatar to be an excellent addition to the forum software.

If you have some interesting Avatars, please share them with me, as the ones I am using now (provided by Willtze) looks kind of weird. I will not bundle the avatars in our software, and they will just be used for demo purposes.

Thanks

Samuel ... I love how you have the avatar gallery setup ... all I have to do is to upload all my avatars in a directory and that' s it!! It can' t get any easier than that.

I have already added a bunch of avatars that I found on the net. I had a good group of them with my other forums, but I accidently deleted them all. I had some good P.O.D. ones in there too. Oh well, guess I' ll just have to make some more.

I do have some suggestions though. I think that the user should be able to have there picture in their profile only. Right now you have the option for users to add their picture, but it can' t be very big because of the size limit. I also don' t like the fact that their picture is displayed beside their posts. I think they that area should be left for avatars only and that the picture should remain in the profile.

So, here are my suggestions:
1.Only avatars should be displayed beside posts.
2.Make it so that a user can select either a current avatar or they can upload their own avatar.
3.You should also be able to set a max width and height for the user' s avatars.
4.It would also be nice to be able to link the user' s picture so that it is not uploaded on your server and taking up your space.

Those are just some of my thoughts. Overall I think you and your team have done a great job!!

Thanks for your comment!

We will keep the avatar section as it is for now. In the future we will add more flexibility to the avatar section. The picture upload actually serves the same purpose as avatar upload in the current version.

The image dimension check for picture is what we decided to do to limit the dimension. The new member profile format will display whatever the user choose (his own picture or avatar). users can actually choose to display avatar or their own picture in their profile.

Thanks for your suggestion!

well...Avatars to Mike is like " quote" to Freddy.
