Easy tweak for mobile users

Turkey · August 11, 2015, 08:51:04 PM

When adding HTML tags to format a post, they appear adjacent to each other, like [spoiler][/spoiler]. On mobile, it can be difficult to position the cursor between the two sets of brackets to type, and it's even worse if you have to double tap to paste some text (like a link or a quote).

To fix this, all that would need to be done is to include an indent or return after the first one, so it appears like this:
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]

That way we can tap to the right and easily start typing. Just thought I'd throw that out there; maybe I'm the only one that would feel convenienced by this, but if you've also been frustrated by the current format, show your support.

Yes, this has bothered me. And I'm a little disappointed I didn't think of it

How much of an overhaul would you need to make a more user-friendly mobile app? My guess is a lot.

That avatar's appealing... But i don't know how to explain it.

Or just type them

Or just select the text and press the button of whatever you want

That's still an inconvenience because of the awkwardness of highlighting on mobile browsers.

I don't want you to think I was ignoring this idea; I've just had other stuff to do. I will look into this when I get around to that area of the site, but it may not be for a while, as I'd have to change every single tag individually, most likely.

Oh, I was hoping it was something that would be quick to change. Thanks for looking into it when you get the time.

It's actually BBCode. HTML is the stuff that the BBCode renders as; It's the "pure" form.

(not that it's relevant...but...)

It's a minor nuisance for me but I would never consider it a problem I wanted to be fixed.

Eh, consider this passive support of the motion.
