Forum Settings and Plain Text
A quick question about the forums really. I can't seem to keep any content editor option other than plain text in my settings, and it's beginning to annoy me, as my posts all end up as one long drone. Is there anything I can do about it? Changing the setting and saving it makes no difference whatsover - it just reverts back to plain text. Any ideas? EDIT - This post was three, now four, paragraphs long. Now look at it... 
I am using Internet explorer and same thing here Will, getting fed up doing the p thing at the end of every paragraph!

Really sorry, guys - i've punted this upstairs to our web development team so they can look into it....
Same problem for me. I gave up trying in the end as it always reverted to plain text when I went back into settings to check. Hope it get's fixed.
Yes as it would also be nice to be able to place a link to another seit/thread on here without haveing to type the whole address into your post!!!

Hey Krimey I've posted more than you. neeerrrr neerrrr nerr nerr nerrrrrrrr. Can't catch me.
I'm saying nothing...
Yeah Mr 1300 plus, ok you're out there BSD and all that ;-) Very Liars Poker. Hee hee.
It would also be good for links to open in a new window by default as well. At the moment I have to enter the target="blank" command in HTML mode.

I wondered how you did that. Never been much good with all the tags things on message boards.
And you two with all teh posts - you need some sunlight chaps, you're looking a little green... 
I don't use forums very much but I'm a web designer so that helps.
I'm having the 'Plain Text' reply problem too.
I registered last night and my first post allowed me to use all the fancy 'markup' options.
But then my second post used the/this basic reply form. Because I'm not Sir Clive (Sinclair), I don't do computer speak, so I had to click 'edit' on my first post and 'copy & paste' the code from there (then change the bits with the link addresses, etc) . Do these forms use the user friendly markups? e.g. (url=http://whathifi.com)What Hifi(/url) , etc. Where the brackets/parentheses are replaced with [ & ]. TEST
P.S. I agree with whoever said the default setting for links (when they work) should be to 'open in new window'. Also, I personally think the default for 'Email me replies to this post' should be 'off'.

Apparently there is nothing wrong with the site. That's according to Andrew. But as so many of us are in agreement that it isn't working, it would seem there IS something wrong at the WHFSV end. And no, Damien, I'm using the latest Firefox and I've cleared my cache before you ask!
