New Site Feature Mismatched Quotes Validation

[meissen]

Hey guys,

Something I regularly see on here is that someone will quote someone else but while they are removing some of the text or typing their reply the quote text gets messed up.

A new feature that was available on vBulletin.org was Quotes Validation. What it does is if you quote someone in your post, if there is not an opening quote and closing quote BBCode, it will prompt you to fix it. This will ensure that the quotes in your post are properly working.

When you get the message, just remember a quote must have the start quote BBCode [QUOTE] and the end quote BBcode [/QUOTE]. If you have one of the quotes codes but the other is missing it will prompt you to fix it.

brian... i'd say the biggest problem is that when you want to quote someone.. but remove their last sentence. You try to highlight the last sentence and hit backspace but it always highlights the [/ part as well, thus leaving a broken quote

is there a way you can ensure there is a space between the last character of the quote and the "[/qu ote]"

Yeah I know - hate when ya highlight something and it does that. That's why i usually put my cursor where I want, hold shift down, and then use the arrow keys to highlight what I want to delete. I don't think there's any way around it.

I was thinking we could use an intelligence check too.

google spell checkers for internet browsers. I think there is one called aspell that works good.

I love all the neat features. I am on several other forums and most lack the cool extras we have here.
BIG Kudos to our admin!
