That would be even more intensive -- either database, by duplicating posts, or stripping it before every display.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Oh yeah, definitely. But it doesn't require mindreading or a complete list of html tags. I was just clarifying what I think Elena would like.
The complete list of allowable HTML tags isn't the biggie. It's the processing that's the issue. But in that scenario, it's once per post, not once per display.
My corner of Earthlink world has decided to stop propagating buffistas.org. I'm good with www.buffistas.org, but that's been propagated since before. Mail.buffistas.org is new to me, and won't resolve.
Chat support guy told me it was because mail servers are often firewalled. I HATE support folk that know less than I know.
They should be hit over the head with a TCP/IP book.
But he's finally forwarding a ticket on, and if anything useful comes of it, bitterchick, I'll pass the info on.
Jon is correct in what I want, it's actually what I thought we had, but obviously I am mistaken.
Thing is, I know that the bad HTML was stripped, but now the text within the bad HTML is also gone and I don't remember that happening.
Surely it can't be that I never made formatting errors before. Nah.
Thanks, ita. Let me know what happens.
When you say "within", Elena, do you mean:
t badtag this is going to disappear t /badtag
or t thisbadtagwilldisappear ?
I mean the first. It disappears in the post, but is also gone from the posting box when I try to edit.
How bad is the bad tag?
I couldn't get that to disappear unless I forgot the > off the opening tag. In which case, yeah. But that's always been that way.
Huh... I wonder if that's what I did. Hmmm... I'll experiment and get back to you (sometime after the weekend, I'm on my dinner break right now).
