I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

Who exactly has control over what you can post in your chapters? Even if you are the Admin, why still limited free choice? I was editing a News Story when I noticed a Legend of all the stuff you could do. Like insert images via html and vids. And there's other cool stuff too I can do... or says I can but I can't. Is this only open to the Staff and Mods? I'm guessing "Site Designer" is.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

I think "Site Designer" is to...if it IS a bug...I hope they get it fixed soon.

And I think it is an automatic filter that keeps that stuff from being posted.

I'm sorry, where do you see all of this? I'm looking and can't find anything that describes how i could do something, and then says i don't have permission.

That's maybe cuz you're not an Admin in one of your chapters. Or you do not have the Permissions. Pic 1 Pic 2

That help button displays all that is possible to do with the Rich Text Editor. However, most users don't have access to all the buttons, as you've noticed. The reason for that is that giving you that kind of access makes it possible for you to completely break the layout of a page, and that's not going to be allowed.

I think you can already break the layout. Kinda how if you add a bunch of (!) to a post here on the forums, but instead when you add a bunch of Hyperlinks and HTML codes it messes up. But I'm not sure if that's what you meant by breaking the layout of a page.

No, I mean breaking the layout by utterly destroying it. Tables, CSS, imagemaps, gigantic images, etc. More than just making the page widen.

Archronos, you know that you could just make a pixel limitation for image uploads (meaning the max size might be...400x400 or something--with text wrap around capibilities). Solves that formatting problem.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

He is refering to people uploading files or code that would let them take control of the page, not breaking image boundaries.

We’ve already gone over uploading images/avatars… never going to happen… never.

But I see why Achronos doesn’t want people to be able to completely “build” pages, such as custom HTML or using some built in editor. Ever go to Myspace pages or blogs that a user has no idea what the heck they’re doing and has over sized images, distorted boxes and nasty font? Think would kids would do to the wonderful 7th Column!

Well...if I can't use the site design thing in MY own group...is there a way for you to keep it from showing up?

(that was meant for Achronos)

Grrr... I tried to copy the html source from a chapter and upload it onto Myspace (I know) to kinda show you guys what kind of chapter with an html editing option an average member could make. But that site didn't let me have more than 65,000 characters! Gahhh. That's alot. I guess I can try notepad or word. I'm determined damnit.
