Write a line and hit Enter once.
Works. Hit it now twice for a free/empty line.

There is also Shift-enter, which creates a (smaller)new line without the <p> tag.

I know about paragraphs and line breaks but the "default" behaviour in such forms is "single enter =
".



For me the problem arises from the inconsistency. If I really wanted a paragraph then the BBCode should have that added to the text


[p]MyText paragraph[p] ...


But all the form here in this forum does is converting a "double line break" to a "quadruple line break". Also it is not that a manually done "double line break" in non-wysiwyg-mode converts to a "paragraph" when returning to wysiwyg.
And I think you are right in which direction to look for this "bug/issue" - as strictly writing in "non-wysiwyg-mode" does not have this issue.

It's a programmer forum/website
Maybe a bit of responsive design would make it more relevant/serious.

BTW, i've got few years of experience with smf CMS. If you need a little help ... ["from my friends"]

ps : I like the color scheme of the forum (dark-grey/yellow)
I don't like the gradients, it doesn't fit with the "blocky" style
Make it more "blocky" ! ^_^

I'll have to install a blank SMF forum to see if these wysiwyg issues exist on default settings.

Serious? Never in a million years - If this site were every to move into a more responsive design then I'd be writing a custom forum from fresh. It all depends on the needs of members over time.

I think it's impossible to have a theme that everyone likes. I like this current theme, it's easy on the eyes.

It's on me to-do list - I will get a chat room in here but the ones I've seen so far are either way too expensive, linked to an external 3rd party or flash based ( not a chance these days ). I'll probably have to code my own but I will be doing it, I will, I will

Hi,

New user here... Is it possible to make the forum usable with Tapatalk? (mobile app for forums) as this site is not responsive.

A plugin for Simple Machine is available here: https://www.tapatalk.com/download_SimpleMachines.php

So long as that plugin doesn't cause issues then I can certainly install it. I will look over it today and if I see no obvious security holes or compatibility issues I will happily add it in.

[Qube]

OK, had a look at tapatalk and as it has / can lead to security issues then I'll not be adding it here, sorry

[Alain]

Hi Qube,

Ok understood.

Do you have any link regarding these security issues? I am asking this, because I am running several PHP BB board with Tapatalk so it may be interesting to know for me.

[Qube]

Hi Alain, just Google "tapatalk security" and you'll see that it's been peppered over the years ( and still today ) with security issues.
