Check this post out: http://www.rollingbluethunder.com/Nu/Default.aspx?tabid=190&g=posts&m=2&#2

It should render like this:

Quote:
bold italics underlined
  • List item
    - image
    http://www.rollingblueth.../Default.aspx?tabid=190 - link (Auto)
    http://www.rollingbluethunder.c...u/Default.aspx?tabid=190 (using URL tag)

    the text is aligned


    • However - the smilie code :/ for gets to be encoded to HTML before the rest of BBCode. This produces a broken image (Quote:
    <img src="http<img src="/nu/DesktopModules/YetAnotherForumDotNet/images/emoticons/gear_diagonal.gif" alt="Hrm">/www.rollingbluethunder.com/Nu/Portals/0/BBWbanner.gif"/>
    The same goes for the urls of links - they contain the smiley image and are not rendered as links...

    http[img]http://www.rollingbluethunder.com/nu/DesktopModules/YetAnotherForumDotNet/images/emoticons/gear_diagonal.gif" alt=""/>/www.rollingbluethunder.com/Nu/Default.aspx?tabid=190

    Quite a mess, huh?Sad
    ... But trust me on the sunscreen!

    Everything is a trade-off with this code. I've tried everything -- there appears to be no perfect way. The best idea is to not have smiles code that mimics URLs in any way.

    I'll put it this way: it's much easy for the admin to control the smiles then it is to control what users put in their URLs... It's just a trade-off.

    Hey Jaben!
    I am sorry to report yet another instance of the bug.
    see the post: http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/default.aspx?g=posts&m=7706 and below.
    View source; search for "arkred", and you will see this:
    Quote:
    ...
    <td valign="top" class="message">
    <b>Got some problems installing the forum. I have placed it in a under /forum/ and the bin under /bin/. the following have been added to web.config:</b> <br/><br/><span style="color<img src="/images/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy">arkred">&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;<br/>
    ...

    Again - A smilie ":D" (colon D) interferes with "color:darkred" css property in SPAN....
    Perhaps the easiest way is not to use css colornames in yafeditor, but their Hex RGB codes instead, or just ad a space after colon...
    Colon is used in other smilies that might interfere with colors :silver :Darkred Surprisedlive
    ... But trust me on the sunscreen!
