Description Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-28 13:17:57 UTC
I was doing a quote on something that was posted, and pressed the Quote button.  This did the following:

1) Only provided a start tag (intended?)
2) After typing the quote in, and closing the tag ([/quote]), I went to preview it, and it closed the quote again.

Is this an intended behavior of some sort?

Could you please tell us exactly which post was the one you tried to quote?

It was this post right here (and yes, I'm an evil man)

If you press one of the buttons to add the starting tag it remembers that you opened it (indicated by a * on the button). When you post/preview it'll close any tags it thinks are still open for you. If you closed the tag manually you get the extra clsoing tags at the end of your post.

Is that standard to phpBB or part of the customization?  If it's standard I wanna take a look after work to see if I can achieve an enhanced tag closing system.

It's in vanilla phpBB, although the javascript that handles that stuff has been rewritten on fgo.
