Hello JJR512,

I tried it again just as you explained and it works fine for me. I'm using IE 5.1.

If there are other browser users out there please give the test board a try and report how the interface reacts, good or bad.

I would really appreciated it.

Up till now I know the following browsers work:

IE 5.X, without errors.(now ;))
NS 4.7, without errors but code/code with text is always added to the end of any previously written text.

IE 5.50.4522.1800, same problem (using the keyboard shortcut method works once, but not the second time)

I just downloaded and installed it today, I should have the latest version

I'll let you know if I can find any glaring issues in the javascript file

Hello All,

Yep IE 5.5 is screwy when you use the access keys(alt+i for example). Don't know what the prob is but obviously a Browser discrepancy. IE 5.1 works fine. I'll try and see what I can do.

All I can say is just use the buttons for now. :)

Scott

As I said earlier, this problem also occurred not just in 5.5, but the 6 Beta as well. The thing with the 6 Beta was that it didn't matter how you used the code the first time. I mean, you could put in the first code by using the keyboard shortcut, or by clicking the button. The thing was that the second time you used a code, like if you tried to close the tag, it wouldn't work by keyboard.

That said...

Tonight I checked Windows Update (on Microsoft's site, you know, the link that's on the Tools menu of IE), and noticed there was a new IE 6 Beta available. I downloaded/installed it, and interestingly, everything works fine now. I tried everything I could think of to test it, multiple codes at once, some by keyboard, some by button, mixing by opening with the button and closing with the keyboard, etc. Everything seems to work fine.

So if what you said is true: That IE 5.1 works fine, but 5.5 does not, and the original 6 Beta does not, then users will need to upgrade their 5.5 or original 6 Beta to the newest 6 Beta for this hack to work properly for them.

(BTW, this is all on Win2k; I have no idea if there is a new IE6 Beta for Win95/98/Me.)

Scott, this is exactly the hack I've been wanting. Thank you. I know I am late to the discussion, but tubedogg just pointed me to this thread today. I just tried it out on your test forum here:

http://www.webtroniks.de/showthread.php?&threadid=8

and I only used the buttons, not the keyboard commands, and all was well. I use IE 5.5/ windows 2000 pro... I will probably test out keyboard commands later. I didn't even know there were keyboard equivalents for vB code. doh!

Is this hack working with version 2.2.0?

This is just EXACTLY what I was looking for all the time since I am using VBulletin!!!
This just has to be the BEST hack I have ever seen, yes: I AM serious!

It improves Vbulletin enormously. It was just THE most irritating part of the Vbulletin software that it was such a hassle to put the message-tags into a message.

I am thrilled that you produced this hack, Scott! Jelsoft just HAVE TO implement it in a future release. They just MUST. A BIG, BIG improvement, if you'd ask me.

Hope that you will fix all possible bugs and that your hack will be used in the future.

I don't believe so, we have 2.2.1 now and these posts are from months ago.. for the most part. Correct me if I'm wrong. ;)

Ok, let's see how this works here. :)

What the?
