I’d like to see FTX special characters on message previews stripped. When
viewing via the web interface, I see the special characters that create the
formatted text.
|
Previews? Like when you’re posting? That preview? Or do you mean the
brief abstract article displays?
| |
The brief message previews should be all plain text with
those characters stripped out.
|
Mmmm, good idea.

Hmmm....linking to posts within posts doesn’t seem
to work.
|
What didn’t work? I see the article you linked to. Did it not show up in
when you previewed prior to posting?

He means in the Brief abstract article displays, as opposed to Compact
mode. In particular, the brief for the message he referenced has the curly
braces and square brackets which FTX would recognize. Tim is suggesting they
should be not appear in Brief mode. Another option would be to make them
format the text as intended, which is how they would appear when viewing the
whole post.

Guess I’m not up on the difference between Brief and Compact. Thanks :-)
