  • Forum weirdness

    I know these PHP / BBCode forum implementations vary from place to place, so I'm sympathetic to there being differences between them. Nonetheless:

    It's pretty frustrating to have a post - when quoted - get broken into multiple quote boxes. Here's an example:

    The original post: http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...l=1#post747558

    The quoted post: http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...l=1#post748069

    I've played with it a bit on the client end (ie. my web browser), and a few times, I've been able to trick the web server into not placing extra quote tags around the paragraphs. Beyond that, this seems to be an issue on the server side, and is thus not something I can fix.

    Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to avoid it (short of using the BOX rather than QUOTE tags)? Is there a limit to a paragraph's length?

    I'm gonna do a little testing. Below are two "posts", 480 and 550 chars long respectively. I wonder if the amount of text in the QUOTE tag matters to how it gets sent back to me web browser:

    It's more complicated than that, though. We have several industries (insurance, legal representation, managed health care, pharmaceuticals/research, etc) that have grown up around the competitive model of healthcare here in the US. Even if the government could find a way to afford to provide healthcare for all citizens (and yes, I know that doesn't mean they'd pay every penny), having them step in to provide it would have a pretty significant impact on the economy and the ass

        Nope. Lemme see what happens of there's a CRLF in the long quote:

          Nope. Here's the one I originally posted again. It's 652 chars long, without BBCode tags:

          I personally think we need to reform several things before it's possible for the US to start treating healthcare like many other modern countries do.

            Hmm. Maybe it's when a long quote is embedded in another quote?

                It's your font tags. For some reason, in the middle of the quote there's a font closing tag followed immediately by an opening tag for the same font. I edited one of your posts earlier today for language, and fixed the broken quote box while I was in there. Somehow the font tags ended up in the middle of a word, so I have no idea how it happened.
                Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

                  OK. Thanks for noticing / fixing that.
