Do You Type Yours, or use Auto BBCode? - N1ghtm4re - Jan 26, 2021

As the title says, the question came to me so I'm curious.

Do you type your bbcode out yourself, or do you use the WYSIWYG / auto Text editor?

I personally type all of my bbcode myself and only use the editor for selecting colors.

Personally, I type it all-- I use to use short keys for some of the longer ones, but not anymore. I do use shorteys for ones including images though. Easier than copy and pasting from a wordpad.

if it's like [img] or [youtube] I just type em since it's faster, but sometimes I like to use the editor.

It depends on what I want to do. When I want to quote a whole post, I will not type it all myself. When I use a spoiler on the other hand, I will type it most of the time. It really depends on the situation.

I prefer to type it out because i am old school.

It's mostly typed. I'm more used to html so for some things like youtube i use the editor.

I've always typed my own BBCodes. Ensures accuracy in my opinion.

I've been using forums long enough to be typing it before they implemented the auto features.

Ever since I can remember, I always typed it by hand and now it would be hard for me to switch๐Ÿ˜

P.S. Very nice signature mate๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜Ž

So you also type quotes by hand? The whole pid stuff? Or only like single things you need, i.e. bold text or code?

I do not enter the exact quotes by hand, it would be terribly tiring, but all the rest I do๐Ÿ˜

Alright haha, would have been kinda weird. I somehow only type some by hand and use the buttons for some. Being a programmer I have to type enough anyways.

Yes, the buttons make things a lot easier, especially when you write a lot, but from the beginning I tried to type almost everything by hand to learn the BBCode syntax (but despite all my efforts, I did not manage to learn the correct mention of users๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚)

Usually if I'm making a larger thread or something to do with a sale I will type it all out then go back after I see what I've made and format it how I like but if it's just something short I'll type it out myself :) Good question though, still learning the formatting tags :P
