As always, only the top three scores for each driver will count in any given season. Therefore, drivers can miss 25% of league nights and still be in the mix for their divisional championship if they perform well on the nights that they race. Of course, that's for those who care about that kind of thing. Rest assured, promotion and relegation is not determined solely by how many points you have at the end of a season.

I've seen this kind of mess happen with indent and bold codes too.

Thanks for your time and attention.

 

[Jordan]

The [SIZE=3] tag on the second line is confusing the BB code parser because it isn't closed before the first LIST begins. It ends up inserting a lot of extra tags to try and maintain the formatting it thinks you want, breaking your lists in the process.

Just drop the enclosing size tags and it will be resolved, and only use SIZE tags on a line-by-line basis. Avoid wrapping other tags inside of it if you can, especially more complex tags like LIST.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Roger that.

Does the parser not come into play when a post is entered in BBCode? If it does then I think the parser might be schizophrenic and the trigger for its confused personality is the More Options button.

Evidence.

Pre-edit of post

Edit mode engaged (Rich Text)

Still looks right.

Rich Text More Options Edit mode engaged. Parser's , , , , alter ego takes control.

I did do some testing just to see how those limitations you described work and yeah, although I didn't work a line by line size code in, I tried a size code inside one of the list codes and it went bonkers again. The size 3 tag is unnecessary in this case since I believe it's the default size anyway. Ran a check on the end of that last sentence, just to see if it is.

Thanks for your time, insight and expertise @Jordan. 👍

Maybe you should take that Parser out for drinks more often, or maybe just get it some "therapy". Electroshock sounds about right. If that doesn't cure it, might investigate gifting it a frontal lobotomy.

edit: just had a look at the text inside that size tag and it looks smaller than default to me. Is size 4 larger than default? It appears it is.
