Discussion Board Text Formatting

Posted by Ethan Pierse on February 10, 2008 at 6:12 pm

I just published an article at "Corporate Blogging - Benefits of the business blog" and the paragraph spacing and unordered list CSS are terrible.  The paragraphs have single-spacing before and after the list and double-spacing between paragraphs.  Thou shalt not double-space paragraphs on the Internet.  Also, there are no bullets in the unordered list.  The HTML is correct in the source, but the CSS is pushing them flush left with no bullet and not even a little bit of space in between to provide clarity - just one big paragraph of unreadability.

Also, I submitted the post after viewing the preview and the page dead-ended at a blank page.  I went back to see if it had posted but it was not there.  So, I re-pasted the article (lucky I write everything in Scrivener or Textmate) and "post"-ed it without "preview."  Everything worked fine, but now in "My Groups" it is showing 3 topics and 1 reply when it should be 2 topics and 1 reply.  The "preview"-ed and failed article seems to be stuck somewhere inside the lovely Drupal.

Of course, Edward. Thanks for the note. If there is anything I can do to QA it on my end, just let me know.

We'll look into it, Ethan. This tool needs some work. It will take a couple weeks. Please bear with us.
