Just a small thing but it crops up from time to time and produces confusion.

when entering a list, eg

a..

b.

c.

you can see the unintentional effect.

ok appreciate that, but that doesnt really fix the problem (its more of a workaround), and denies the poster of smilies for the rest of his or her post.

I was thinking admin could simply change the bb code and do a search and replace to update the forum posts....

The other option is to use the list function..

totster

[Grover]

sure, totster, that will work.

But the problem still remains for the unsuspecting poster who innocently does up a list - a b c etc... and gets an unnanounced popping out of his/her post. Then he/she will thinking <deleted> and scratching his/her head and probably will his/her readers. It may not be apparent as to why this is happening, unless they work it out themselves or stumble across this thread.

Cheers.

its not really forum support just reporting what I see as a mildly annoying bug.

cheers.

Yes, it is a bit annoying. When I remember, I use 'b but often forget while typing.

Alternatively, don't make lists. Lists are bad bad bad things.

unless you are going to Tesco's.

In which case, I think it would be really weird to make a list in a forum post.

Grovey babe, you're weird.
