This may be obsolete because some of these features are for pro's only.

Ya I know I'm kinda mad...it's cool when they add extra features for people who pay, but removing features from standard accounts? Uber meh

Killer~SafeCracker says: Oct 11, 2009. 7:57 AM

Well the new changes make this instructable trash.

NachoMahma (author) in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerOct 12, 2009. 5:31 AM

. Moot and obsolete would be good descriptions, but I really don't think "trash" is applicable. Things change. On the Internet, things change fast.

Killer~SafeCracker in reply to NachoMahmaOct 12, 2009. 6:56 AM

True, so true. I just couldn't think of a different word. :)

With the deployment of the new FCKEditor on 7 October 2009, comment text is now straight HTML. Using the "Source" button, you can enter regular HTML markup, including inlined images, along with your regular text.

ReCreate in reply to kelseymhOct 9, 2009. 9:35 PM

Hmmm...where is the source button?
Anyways, are they letting users simply put normal HTML in comments?

kelseymh in reply to ReCreateOct 10, 2009. 1:05 PM

It's in the More Formatting section. Click that button and follow the instructions.

Yes.

ReCreate in reply to kelseymhOct 10, 2009. 1:34 PM

One error, its trying to rip money from my bank account...oh well...(but really, i can live without extra formatting, i don't mind)But i do mind allsteps.
(and do they really let user put whatever they want in comments? This is a little dangerous...)

kelseymh in reply to ReCreateOct 10, 2009. 11:02 PM

Neither payment nor allsteps is relevant to text formatting. I'm sure you can find an approppriate place for that discussion. Apparently they are supporting direct HTML input.

ReCreate in reply to kelseymhOct 11, 2009. 1:44 PM

Direct HTML? This is very unsafe, someone could insert dangerous scripts into the page, Javascripts, and Applets...
