UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? [6.1.1] Bad Line Breaking in Replies

When someone replies on the board I work on, the line breaks don't well...break.
It puts the "> " after every 60 characters like it's supposed to, but a poem with several line breaks looks like this when replying:

> Lying here beside you,calling your sweet name,I
> take a moment to reflecton how far we've came.The
> distance now gone,as in your arms I laystill so
> much I want to dostill so much to sayHolding you,a

My code in newreply.php looks like this:


Am I missing a line or somethin'?

I don't find that code anywhere in newreply.php or addpost.php

Is that a hack of some sort, attempting to quote the body of what they are replying to?
Like in email programs maybe?

If so.. My guess would be to try changing that last line to this:

$BodyEd = preg_replace("/([^\n]{0,50})(\s|$)/","$1\n",chop($BodyEd));

Well I was trying to have it act like wwwthreads does and put the last post in a reply like so:

> Hey man what's going on?
> I'm just sittin in class and we're learning fractions,
> which are really tough.
>
> See ya later,
> Jim

Okay Jim! I'll see ya after school!


So I took the code from wwwthreads and put it in ubbthreads to see if it'd work. It did, but with some glitches.

Didn't know threads ever behaved like that.

If you upgrade to 6.2 there's a brand new quote feature built in. Or if you poke around here, there's an auto-quote hack available for 6.1.x.

Or wrap the text in [ quote ] text [ /quote ] tags and then the line breaks etc.. will work automatically.
