+0100101001010010 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 As far as I am aware, HTML is not allowed in cache logs, and is thus even for premium members, am I correct? If so, would this not be a fesable addition to the website? Spam etc. could be a problem, but as far as geocaching.com goes, as far as I've seen, is host to a fairly responsible community, who would not take advantage. This feature can indeed be limited to such uses as changing color and font, at the discretion of Groundspeak. I feel as a user that it would enhance my experience of geocaching.com, allowing me to express myself more clearly in my posts, for instance, changing the color to red for milestone caches. All sensible feedback would be appreciated. Regards, 0100101001010010
+The Cheeseheads Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 The log pages already parse smilies if you put them between brackets. I don't want to see full-blown HTML, but if the parser could also handle simple BBCode tags for bolding and color, that would be nice.
+wvcoalcat Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Looked around and this post informs what ubb is good.
+The Cheeseheads Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 you can already use ubb code. Looked around and this post informs what ubb is good. And there we go. What else could you ask for?

+Glenn Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 My gut reaction is that I don't want the logs on my cache pages to become someone's idea of an art project. I also know from experiance that the average person has trouble knowing when to close tags and usually leaves them open but HTML tidy should take care of that. After seeing at what UBB code is aviable I think that the UBB code covers every change I'd ever want to see in a log.
+4leafclover Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I must have been doing "color" wrong then, because I tried green, and it did not work.

Thanks for the quick and concise replies folks, good to see that the forums in this community work. Thanks a lot
+Isonzo Karst Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) I know that the following code currently works in cache logs: red=[red][/red] orange = [orange][/orange] green=[green][/green] blue = [blue][/blue] purple = [purple][/purple] there may be more colors bold = italic = size = a small text size, but not a larger one. Strike-through = [/s} Underline = Comic Sans MS I haven't been able to get any other fonts This stuff all looks dreadful in the emailed notification where it comes through as code.
