I have noticed a bug in the styling for the quotes.
If the original text contains a strikeout then the strikeout is removed from the formatting.

but you can manually add it back in.........

Should this not inherit from the original text?

As far as I know quoting a post just gives you the text and not the formatting itself. Sometimes when I quote a post with emotes, I don't get them in the quoted text unless I add them manually either.

I had drafted a reply to say "we do that because there's no way to get the actual HTML". But I was wrong.
I'll have an updated posted in the next couple of hours that provides full HTML quoting.

I am a platinum debator and when I vote any post up then it is only giving 6 reputation points to the person whose post I am upvoting. Shouldn't it be 24 considering I am a platinum debator? Or is it based on some total reputation points.
I am not sure whether this is a bug or the feature.

This is looking to be a big problem now. I upvoted a person's post and he said he got 3 points when I'm a Gold Debator. I wonder if this bug happens only in General Indian Topics? Because I was upvoted earlier today in The Lounge by someone and it gave me 24 points.

How does he know the upvote was from you? We don't publish this information.
If you send me a link to the message I can look at his rep points and see what's happening.

Here[^] is such a post, when me and Nish were discussing the same issue. I gave a 5 on his post to test and he replied to me that it gave him 6 points.

The current logic in the system is:
A post in a non-programming forum gives you debator points.
Up-vote a non-programming forum message gives the voter organiser points and the votee participation points.
I'll change this so points are awarded as debator points.

I think this clarifies it. In this when I upvote someone in non programming forum then it will be bronze points only because I am bronze organizer.

I believed I always get debator points when someone upvoted my posts in non-programming forums, but then again you know much better than me.

Woo hoo looks like its working fine now. If I am upvoting it is giving 24 reputation to the person. Check that out for yourself also.

Thanks Chris looks like it is sorted out.

Surely you mean Debator points? Take the message below 'cut & pasted' stright from my Rep Point table. It has always been Debator points. Hence why my Debator points are quite high in comparison to my Participation points.

Well actually I upvoted all good replies in one of my threads. The person asked me if I was the one who did it and gave me a 5 as well. That was when he noticed that he received less points.
Link to thread: GIT is awesome[^]
Link to that post: The post[^]
By the way sorry for the late reply Chris. I didn't find much time to login before.

Chris, it is happening. I created another account. I logged into that account and posted a thread. Then I went into my main account and voted a 5 on my other account thread. I only got 6 points and I am a platinum debator. So is it based also on rep points as well?
[EDIT]
I see you have fixed the problem. Thanks.

It doesn't seem like the editor in the Q&A section is accepting pre tags. I've tried to edit some questions to format the code snippets and it didn't work, it just adds the <pre> in plain text. I also noticed that when pasting code snippets that include html the "Ignore HTML" checkbox had no affect, everything was encoded.
Tried with both IE9 and Chrome, same results.

Below the text area edit field there's a checkbox called "Ignore HTML in text (good for code snippets)". This checkbox must be unchecked.
Uncheck it and you'll be doing fine.
Cheers!

Yes, I understand. Either checked or unchecked, no difference. Give me some credit for knowing how a checkbox works.

My bad! I didn't fully read your question and had just tripped over that checkbox thing myself a couple of times lately.
I promise to be more thorough next time.

The encoding and the Ignore HTML are different: just above "Ignore HTML" are four options:
When pasting:
wrap in PRE block
escape HTML characters
allow HTML
Auto detect If you select "allow HTML" then it will not encode any of the < or > characters so you existing formatting will work.
"Ignore HTML..." just treats all tags as if they were encoded so they will always display (annoying thing it is, too)
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I tried several of the combination of options and none seemed to have an effect.

Can you show me an example of the one you're working on?
