Knight, I do have one complaint/question. I don't like that when there is a link, it overrides the formatting of the text. For example, when I used to quote a Bible verse, I would do it in this format.

Reference 1:1
This would be the body of the verse.

But now, when I quote the reference, it overrides my formatting, so it looks like this.

John 11:35
Jesus wept.

Also, if I put some formatting on text in a sentence (for emphasis, per se) and it contains a link, it throws it off. Like, if I thought this was really important...see how cheesy it looks?

The only option would be to disable the automatic Bible link feature but I think most folks like this feature.

I will look into that.

Seems like fixing the second issue will fix the first by default. :idunno:

Well, not exactly. The automatic link feature will make a link out of any Bible reference. A hyper-link (in general) has to has some formatting (that distinguishes it), so even if we change its formatting it will still override your formatting to some extent.

Usually just a CSS code that underlines it when hovered is enough. I don't know...you're the masta! I like what you've done so far. :up:

OK, assuming you are viewing TOL through the TOL Lite (expanded) skin, what do you think of that?

Mr. 5020 · Sep 17, 2007

Looks good on that skin...looks the old way when I look at other skins.

I realize that silly.

I don't want to go changing everything until I have something that you are satisfied with.

After all... it's all for you!

OK, try the Grape. I think I have it even better there.

:chuckle: It looks good. I don't know why I've taken so long to bring it up. It was one of the first things I noticed after the upgrade.

You did good, Big Kahuna! :thumb:

That works.

I was just showing you can use tags inside the URL tag.

Now you can. You started testing it after Knight fixed it.

BTW, Knight, the link changes seem to have affected the way the Active page looks on the Lite skin.

Nathon Detroit · Sep 17, 2007

All the skins should be set now.

I have been wanting to teak that for a long time. Thanks for the suggestion fiddy. :up:

Um, no. You've always been able to so long as you put the tags here (internal):

PHP:

[url=http://google.com][b][blink]Google[/blink][/b][/url]

Not here (external):

PHP:

[b][blink][url=http://google.com]Google[/url][/blink][/b]

That's why this:

PHP:

[b][blink]Blah blah [url=http://google.com]Google[/url][/blink][/b]

wouldn't work on the link, the tags were external.

I use the WYSIWYG editor, so I don't put in any codes.
