To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

Why can't you use the tab key when starting paragraphs? It just seems odd to me.

It is because multiple spaces are not allowed.

Oh wait. You probably mean that when you press it, spaces aren't added. That's just the whole internet. When you click tab, the cursor moves to the next window. So, it goes to the quote button.

Is it even possible to make the tab button indent text on an internet form? It would be awesome if that was implemented on Bungie.net as it would make posts, and more specifically, stories easier to read and produce.

Is it really that important?

I'm not that active, but never dead.

Making it actually create a tab would wreak the whole system of browsers. I wouldn't mind however if they could implement it thought the use of a text markup tag. Something like ' [tab] '.

I wonder if some unused key could be used to signify the indentation, like "¬" perhaps? Might be an idea for future implementation.

I think it would be great...but knowing the way people are. It would be abused and then taken back from us, whilst we scream and cry. Like colored text, even though abuse was not the only reason it was taken away.

I can't see how it would be abused. Then again I'm not someone who would go to great lengths trying to abuse every bit of code on Bungie.net.

It would really help FanFic's for sure. I would probably use it a great deal whenever typing long thought replys that must be split into paragraphs for sanity's sack. It would allow such paragraphs to look much more pleasing.

I can't see how it would be abused. Then again I'm not a psychopathic 15 year old going through puberty with the mentality of a 6 year old.

I believe many forums use [pi] for "Paragraph Indent" but i'm not sure, because i just stick 6 spaces in to give the same effect everywhere else.

I did not intend for that to be taken as a flame. If it came off as a direct insult to you, I apologize for my actions. Many people on these forums are young and mature, and many are young and not mature.

What I was trying to say is that such a person as I detailed would probably be able to find a way to exploit the tab option.

Also, to stop any other misunderstandings, I will edit my original reply.

Sorry...I just receive a-lot of crap throughout the day. I appreciate seeing that some people on B.net are civilized. *Gives Zander a Humanitarian award*
