Thread for various posts for testing

Let's have a generic post for a few days so people can test this.

Please post bugs in the bug thread, but try to post here just to get used to it.

Forgive me, but I'm going to try and break things by posting as much weird stuff as I can.

I'm curious to see how deeply I can quote stuff.

So I'm going to test this. It appears I can't reflect anything beyond one level.

And I want to see if I can craft.....

test to see what carries over to quoted text.

Hm.. So when I quote, the formatting is removed. Okay. And I see the changes I made to foreground and background text color in the formatting bar are not maintained from one comment to the next. S'okay.

I see I can remove formatting using the formatting wand. That's nice.

Of course, I want to change my avatar. Sniff, sniff.

I rather like this menorah. And I love how I can go in and edit my link and the text! Very nice. For the most part, WYSIWYG has become such a mainstay of editing that it's nice to see it in action here.

But this one might take the cake.

So what is the purpose in providing a mechanism for hiding posts? I'm not sure I see the point.

That's rather nice. I copied over text from another web page (the Lorem Ipsum generator) and it kept all the formatting. But I could see this breaking a bunch of things if you copy over a news page that has all sorts of crap in it. This prompts another test.

So removing formatting removes text fonts and sizes, but does not remove paragraph formatting (left, centered, right).

I'm not sure we really need 6 levels of headers.......

Of course, I could see someone being truly sadistic and start coloring random words to make the text really hard to read.

vxbush 1/15/2019 2:30:22 PM: 15

Ah, but then we can do things like this:

And create text that is secretly hidden until you highlight the text.

In #15 vxbush said: And create text that is secretly hidden until you highlight the text.

Of course, it is easily revealed via a quote.

In #9 vxbush said: So what is the purpose in providing a mechanism for hiding posts? I'm not sure I see the point.

Sometimes we've seen someone say "Admin, please hide post so and so". Now, you can do it. Just don't expect to get it back.

(I will add that for admins, later. For now, I could get it back by using SQL Management Studio and editing the database, but maybe that is TMI)
