Slight change on eZabel

iwz by iwz · Aug 18, 2003 · eZabel · 327 views

Guys, you no longer have to add in <br> or <p> tags when you write comments, musings, journals, news stories, etc. Just write normally, and these tags will now be automatically added.

Also, you can just paste in URL addresses now, and they will automatically be hyperlinked. No need to use that pesky html. Of course, you guys can still use <a>, <br> or <p> tags if you want, but I wouldn't really recommend it anymore, because eventually these tags will not be allowed anymore.

So, I hope this makes your lives a little easier! :)

the government?? what is THAT about? big brother is starting to worry me...(perhaps a foregleam of "more violence inherent in the system! Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!)

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

your name isn't dan. that's me. i used to be dave llanos. now i'm not.

bozo bozoFounder

oh, a little territorial huh... i don't mind he replied to that. Yeah, sorry Pat. seemed like a lot of confusion. but next time. Sal moved to Rome for real? or temp?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

for real/temp. not like tina, who moved for temp and is never coming back.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

i think it stinks. i formerly credited ezabel with the place i learned most of my coding. now that it won't work anymore, i'll have to go elsewhere.

iwz iwz

haha, I knew that you would be the first person to have this complaint. haha

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

so that's where the xtra money's goin, huh? where's my stop-payment button.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

yeaaaaaa, in a way, i kinda agree..it's easier..but i liked doing the html junk.

of course..i think i drove you nuts, Ian..hahaha..i'd always ask you a million questions..but I LEARNED!!!!!

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

i think u've stumbled on the REAL reason for no-more-tags...no-more-knowledge-transfer

iwz iwz

guys, there's only so many times that you can type br and p tags before it gets seriously old.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

that's true...very true.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

why are people complaining about this? just because you know break and paragraph tags doesn't make you an html expert. if anything it makes you more of a moron.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

well, i know *I* am an HTML superstar...i have PROOF!!! :-D

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

with all the run-on sentences around here, how many people actually USE those tags, anyway?

iwz iwz

maybe they were hitting enter the whole time and we just never knew it

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

then again, maybe you're an enabler

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

the only reason ians implementing this is cause i made that fake user iwz account and convinced tina that hte eZabel party wasnt at her house... loser

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

i never thought ian would actually resort to doing WORK to try to regain the top ezabel spot

esprit15d esprit15dOG 2003

Be not fooled! This is just a way to gradually enforce the 15 character rule.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

you

should

fix

this

too

iwz iwz

yeah, i will definitely fix this soon.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Will other tags, besides the aforementioned, be able to be used? Say, like, image tag, et al?

iwz iwz

i haven't decided yet...

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

can you make it so that thing we are writng are remebered just in case we accidentally click off of a page while we are writing a journal or some thing, so that when we press backspace we dont have to start all over again?

iwz iwz

I could do something to help that I think. I'll research it a little.

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

I have a feeling
that we will see much more of
the art named haiku, now.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

it's OT...i was testing my firewall. <geekspeak>ian uses some coding that references the page you came from, and brings you back there after you click "submit" for a comment. well, my firewall was blocking that code and so after every "submit" i'd end up on the home page. i changed some settings and was testing it.</geekspeak>
