this is just something that has bugged me for a while, and would be easy as hell to take out

if you hit cancel on the prompt, a set of image tags with "null" as the address is still inserted into the message box... for no reason.. if i cancel, i obviously dont want an image tag set inserted into the message box

just an irritant really, but an issue with ease of use.... and would be an easy fix

so why not fix it

Also, tags need to insert where the cursor is and not at the end of the text. It is annoying as shit to have to cut and paste tags or (gasp) type them.

amen to both of these

6/1/2008 5:08:21 PM

amen..and the one pilgrim talks about would be so fucking ridiculously easy to fix, why not just do it?

come on qntmfred!

I'm sure there are more than a hundred people on here that could be bothered to write a patch for this if there was any hope it would actually be applied -- the code in question is externally visible JavaScript after all.

[Edited on June 1, 2008 at 7:05 PM. Reason : but after like 5+ years I'm no longer holding my breath for this fix]

i looked up the idea of placing text at the cursor rather than the end a little while back for something i was working on. apparently it's a pain in the balls compared to just placing it at the end, but there is js that could be copy/pasted. i second the motion to add it in.

6/1/2008 7:18:21 PM

if you could link to said js code that might be a help

6/1/2008 7:33:28 PM

^^ it's not that much of a pain in the ass. i wrote a greasemonkey script to do that and posted it in the lounge a while back, along with other fixes for shitty things like scaling ridiculously large images, shortening ridiculously long links, and automatically converting links to link for all tww domains (but they fixed that like 3 days after i wrote that one). all of those are available from this thread.

look i dont know javascript for dogpoo but i think this'd work

  < td width=20 class=fb onMouseDown="className='fb_down';" onMouseUp="if(className == 'fb_down'){className='fb';myImageURL = prompt('Please enter the image URL!','http://');if(myImageURL != null && myImageURL.length !=0){addtext('[ image ]' + myImageURL + '[ /image ]');}}" onMouseOut="if(className == 'fb_down'){className='fb';}" >

so as I was saying, it's not an issue of availability of a fix, it's an issue of nobody caring

6/2/2008 8:01:18 PM

^ too bad so many do care but not much happens neway a lot of this stuff could b knocked so quickly it kinna sucks to think about it

6/3/2008 5:46:46 AM

Fry, you type like a 12 year old girl

6/3/2008 9:01:40 AM

bff jill?

6/3/2008 9:58:40 AM

i want to put out there there that i didnt test it, or anything

but just that it's a one line fix to make the site more user friendly

but we'll see how long it takes

6/3/2008 10:48:33 AM

this is a good idea...sometimes i'll just manually type the image tags to avoid this potential hassle
