For example, let's say I wanted to make a certain word bold. I would first type out the word; highlight it; and then click the B button. This would be when text should be replaced, with the bold tags appended and prepended like so: Code: `Hi, I am bolding [b]some text[/b] in this sentence.` What actually happens is this: Code: `Hi, I am bolding some text in this sentence.[b][/b]` This is where the feature is no longer a feature, but more of an annoyance. All is not lost, however, as there is a temporary fix to this issue, which involves the use of a Greasemonkey script to 'fix' the bug; and allow us to correctly highlight and tag words after we have created a post. To use this script: Firefox Users: Firefox users are required to have the Greasemonkey add-on installed first. Then, clicking the direct file link should have Greasemonkey automatically install the script for you. If not, you can save the file and install it yourself. You can also view the codes page at userscripts.org: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33269 Google Chrome Users: This script has ceased to work with the latest beta builds of Chrome. ⁽¹⁾ Chrome Installation: Google Chrome users can now add a User Scripts directory within the install directory of Chrome, and append --enable-user-scripts to the short cut. - XP Users: C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts - Vista Users: C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts - Other Users: You will need to figure this out on your own at this time. Simply save the .js files into the directory and re-start Chrome. Opera Users: Unfortunately, this script will not work in Opera. ⁽¹⁾ Safari Users: Safari has not yet been tested. ⁽¹⁾ 1. If anyone knows of a fix for the browsers listed as not working or un-tested; or knows of another browser that can be added to either of the lists above, please let me know. - - - ~ I would like to thank ifsprog for originally creating this script. ~ Edited by Tony, Aug 24 2009, 06:33 PM.
