weird colour problem.

why is this text green. But this text isn't?

Code: Select all

[color=green][b][u]why is this text green.[/b][/u]  But this text isn't?[/color]

Yet if i swap the order of the </b></u> around it works as it should:
this text is green and so is this

Code: Select all

[color=green][b][u]this text is green yay[/u][/b]  And so is this text![/color]
apparently we can't overlap different text formatting? that's pretty stupid


edit: This is on Chrome ver 18.0.1025.162 m

On my screen, both those texts are green. The first one looks a tad thicker.

The picture you just posted is what you say it is. Text is green and blue but the original post is all green

You need to close the BB tags in the opposite order as you opened them, just like with html.

Well, html strict.

the reason is the bb parser isn't too good.

You can omit closing some HTML tags, but closing them in the wrong order is always invalid.

the parser is bad because it a bit of an over-achiever. if all it did was simple replacement, then this thread would not need to exist, because it would've be displayed the way roid intended.
