canrock Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I am new to the BBs and TCH. I am using Frontpage to host a site for the BEARS. boeingradioclub.org I used the Frontpage project template and the Discussions are losing formatting of text when they post, newlines and tabs. Does anyone know how to fix this...or should I try using phpBB or Invision BB? Thanks, Canrock Rock Sign Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Welcome to the family, Canrock! Not being familiar to anything FP is creating for you BB wise I would recommend using a true BB software. phpBB and Invision can be installed through the cPanel. Both are very good. phpBB is easier to setup since there are fewer parameters required. Quote
joly Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I wish I could help but don't know the answer. I saw your message in my guestbook. As of this weekend, I'm a Dreamweaver person. I love Frontpage and was doing pretty good with it, I was just teaching myself with how to books and help here but I found my sites were messed up in other browsers. I've gone to Dreamweaver and have 2 sub domains up in it and it looks good in all browsers and has been as easy to learn as FP and with Don's help I got thru FTP uploading pretty easy. I'm figuring my biggest chore will be tackling a guestbook in DW as FP was so easy, I'm not so sure DW will be. Good Luck! Joly Quote
annie Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 I used discussions via Frontpage once upon a time. Buggy, slow, crap etc. No good. Change to phpBB or Invision Power Board as soon as you can! Quote
Deverill Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 Howdy canrock and welcome to the family! The problem is that if you just paste in a text file into the HTML editor then HTML will remove all soft line breaks. This means that if you have Welcome to my site. then HTML will by default make it Welcome to my site. One thing you could do is use a text editor and go into your pages and at the end of every line add the string <BR> which forces HTML to put in a line break at that point. It's one of the more annoying aspects of HTML and the way it handles those soft breaks. Best wishes from KD4CKQ. Quote
