wispers Perhaps you should change that to the sarcasm color, taking that: what Lep has developed here is far better then most all templates available for download.

Raw HTML with no spaces or anything that would make it readable to humans?
What the ever-loving-crap are you talking about?

Not only does this site not process input that way, but, in any case, HTML is easily readable by humans.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I don't like using the sarcasm colour. I think it's more fun to
make people figure out on their own what is and isn't sarcasm.
And yes, I know that Lep's is way better. I've been to other
forums, and they really aren't the same.

I wasn't flaming, I was giving my opinion about the forum software. I don't see how I insulted the users, however.

"What the ever-loving-crap are you talking about?

Uh, I don't know about you but when I edit posts they're in HTML (stylesheets and everything), as if I was editing the site itself, and they also contain regular forum tags for no apparent reason. The code is just a jumbled mess, unlike human-written HTML which has spaces, comments and other features which make it readable. Sure, I can read it, but it's just not worth the effort when there are far better boards on the Internet. Besides, why would you assume that the user knows HTML? And why does it say "HTML disabled" on the left bar when I'm clearly looking at HTML code right now?

You see that message because html IS disabled. If it were enabled all that code would be interpreted within the post.

In any case, try using a different theme besides "condensate". If you want something that loads fast, use "Basic".

I don't know why you, and only you, are getting code in your posts. I didn't design the site.

Also, this:
<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/condensate.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>
Is human written. It's exported through php code.

But ... instead of bitching and whining in the first place you posted, you could go to the thread "suggestions and bugs" and explain, without bashing, what is happening.

In short, no one is going to help you, or be nice to you, if your first post here is, "These forums are s**t" and going off about stuff that doesn't make sense, since you seem to only have a relative knowledge of what you're talking about.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

<html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/condensate.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2><html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/condensate.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/condensate.css" type="text/css"&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2&gt;Sigh. This post, too, got so messed up that even I could not read it. In short: how am I supposed to know that the HTML garbage was written by someone (assuming that it even was)? It's all just lumped together like something generated it. How do I posses only "relative knowledge"? Care to explain?

On second though, don't bother. If you want to continue this you can take it to the suggestions thread as you yourself suggested. I'm running Firefox like everyone else so I don't see how this could have anything to do with me.&lt;br&gt;
