#152687 - Consistency Responding to: ???'s previous message |

My main question is whether it's worth the BB-hassle at all... It was for the reasons I mentioned above, but also for consistency: We already have a message quoting feature that is essentially bbcode in nature. And there's at least one new feature that had to be bbcode-like (or extremely mangled, non-standard HTML--and I don't want to pull a Microsoft by mangling established standards). So at this point we have at least two or three bbcode-like tags and it kind of makes sense to standardize rather than having some bbcode tags and some HTML tags. I still haven't decided whether to eventually remove HTML ability. The code for handling both bbcode and HTML is already there so it's not more work to provide both. I think it just comes down to consistency, especially when replying to messages that have the type of tags that the replier is not used to seeing. Regards, Craig Steiner |
