UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? New MAKE POST options (5.4.2)

I appreciate the intent with this new feature (and the creation of a new field, B_Convert in w3t_Posts), but what I wanna know is this: how can I set newpost.php and newreply.php to "use HTML and markup" by default, without displaying the options? I run a forum with HTML enabled and the new options are confusing/frustrating the hell out of people.

Also, this new "improvement" has made it harder for admins to go back and fix things like bad URLs in links, especially if the fix requires HTML rather than custom markup. Apparently altertables creates the new field (B_Convert) with the default value "markup," so I've had to go back use a sql command to fix this:

UPDATE w3t_Posts
SET B_Convert = 'both'
WHERE B_Convert = 'markup'

...and then I set the default value of B_Convert to "both."

I won't detail my reasons for this here, but it was needed.

Moreover, in the pulldown options (newpost.php and newreply.php), I made "use HTML and markup" the default selection. Again, I want to avoid this sort of thing altogether and set "both" transparently so the users (and I) don't have to ever worry about it.

The next release will have this as a config option to either show the post options to the user or just have it be the default to what is set on the individual boards so they won't see it at all.

I look forward to the next release.
