Err, Right

Use BACKSLASH then APOSTROPHE with no spaces.

Escape Your Apostrophe

#105 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/23 18:24:33

Apostrophe: \'
Backslash: \\

#106 posted by Wazat on 2003/04/23 18:41:06

Try a backslash before each apostrophy.

The reason the "messageboard eating posts" thing is such a problem is related to the apostrophy, yes. The killer comes when you push back and the text box is empty...

Ah, Yes

Pushplay and company beat me to it while I was fighting the dns error myself. :)

Why

#108 posted by pushplay on 2003/04/23 19:02:08

...does IE empty out a text box when you leave a page? That's stupid.

Heh

#109 posted by Kell on 2003/04/23 19:03:34

Now there's irony for ya

btw, if you phear losing your carefully typed out post to the evile backbutton, try typing it out in notepad first :P

Or...

#110 posted by Abyss on 2003/04/23 19:16:43

just right click, select all/copy, but for me it's always there when I hit the back button

Nope

#111 posted by daftpunk on 2003/04/24 07:57:27

i never lose the typing. have done in other sites tho (like when typing cvs (resumes) online.

notepad is a sensible thing to do

Yea

#112 posted by Wazat on 2003/04/24 14:53:13

notepad also allows you to search for all apostrophes and replace them with `

I usually copy the message into the buffer before clicking post.

Hm..

#113 posted by necros on 2003/04/24 19:40:10

the `eating` is strange...

usually, when i press the back button, the text is still in the textbox, but sometimes, (seemingly at random?) the text is gone -- eaten.

oh well, just gotta remember to use `...

Ehm

#114 posted by daftpunk on 2003/04/25 07:19:22

#122 posted by pope on 2003/05/01 16:12:17

nt ^_^

So Umm

#123 posted by pope on 2003/05/01 20:25:40

is there a list of <X></x> type html commands we can use? Perhaps under the `site` tab at the top?

just `cos there are retards out there (ok just me) who seriously forget this stuff every two days, or do something improperly and then gape at their botched post :P

smiley tags aswell would be fab.

cheers

#124 posted by metlslime on 2003/05/01 21:28:40

good idea, already on my list, maybe soon. (the tag guide, that is.)

How About (now Wait Before Shooting Me)

#125 posted by daftpunk on 2003/05/02 12:50:38

making the template wider so there is less shortening of html links and wazat can fit more in a post (well it makes it smaller in height)?

Yeah,

#126 posted by necros on 2003/05/02 21:10:29

i always wondered why you kept the fixed width thing...

legacy from qmap?

Well...

#127 posted by metlslime on 2003/05/02 21:46:51

pretty much all the webpages i design use centered, fixed-width tables. see also:

#128 posted by pope on 2003/05/02 22:06:03

the fixed width myself... tho even at 1600+ resolutions its kinda tiny lookin... I just gives the whole thing a less cluttered feel...
