Is just a line break by the way.

Yup,  looks messy. :lol:

I never disagreed with that.

See this thread:





Basically the editor converts your typing into HTML and clearly they wanted to sanitise HTML in people's profile fields too. Every time you hit return when filling these fields in it parses it as a <br />. Instead of having it remove the linebreaks from before their 'security patch' sanitised them they made it display the HTML markup instead. I probably won't be fixing this as it's not something I would want to touch, so people will need to rewrite their profile fields. I could possibly erase all records of <br /> from the database but I'd have to look into this.

However, this is more of an incentive for me to clean up the profile fields when I eventually can be arsed to do so. Still not happy with any solutions so far. Could write something to collapse it but again struggling to be bothered to do so recently as reasonably busy.

So again to be clear: If you want to fix this for yourselves simply rewriting your profile fields should do the tick.

I'll keep you posted.

Oh I see :lol: I thought it was a deliberate way of listing their wares. ? Now it makes sense. Learn something everyday.

imho, the best thing to do up until you feel like coding in the collapsible option would be just hide away with these fields (I'm assuming that's fat quicker and easier?).  I don't think that many people read them that much or find them indispensable and they can still be in people's profiles anyone wants to just use 1 click to check out a particular posters' info.

That's certainly the way I intend to do it currently.

I like to go light on resources, so wouldn't introduce a bunch of onclicks and hidden overflow fields.

I'd cap the character limit to enough for 1 or 2 rows, with ellipsis if there's more text and have the full fields on the profile.
