I don't believe they have incorporated that kind of formatting technology but it would be cool if they did have some kind of editor in the Post window.

I wasn't so much wanting an editor as much as a knowledge of extra codes that might be useful in formatting my posts here.

The forum software here is rather a pain to use. I much rather like the phpbb type of forum.

I'll settle for the ability to include URL's without having them come out as actual URL's and the ability to have such URL's not run into the previous words with no spacing for now.

I'll have to find out what kind of forum software this is and then go Google for the extra codes I am trying to discover.

Thanks.

Right now, [code] is the only tag that you can use on the concrete5 forums, however, if you use the custom built Discussion add-on (which this forum uses) on your own sites there are more formatting options available.

While I don't see the issue, the URL parsing seems to be automatic, but you could get around it using [code] or something else creative.

This could be because they wanted consistency, but there are very limited options when it comes to formatting posts in this forum. For now it seems you'll have to get creative.

URL parsing on this forum is a bit of a pain in that under Google Chrome any space between the previous word and the link itself is removed automatically such that you end up with a...well...wordlink I guess you could call it.

Kinda like this...

"When you go tohttp://somelink.com.."

Will be formatted as...

"When you go tohttp://somelink.com.."

The link is still accessible as a link (which is odd) but it definitely looks weird.

Hmmm...that's even odder...the first link I quote above is formatted as a link while the second is not yet they appear, at least to a forum viewer, to be the same link format and text.

Not a huge deal just odd is all. Maybe it's a pet peeve of mine but I really don't like reading links that run into the previous words :).

Thanks for the input you all.

Using two spaces in front of a URL did the trick.

Thanks stromberg!

That's one frustration down.

I would imagine the software is custom build for the site or at least highly customised.
