This post[^] has more spam then my girlfriends cooking..?

I'd have to disagree. The post isn't trying to sell anything, though it is interesting (though mostly crap) reading.

Sorry about that, didn't check the link but the title of the thread flagged it for me.

It stink's of SEO optimization scamming to me, although it's unlikely the account was created solely for that purpose...

Nothing wrong there, Chris has reached the ultimate level of greatness and there for now counts as 4 site builders, 4 editors, 4 staff members, 4 sys admins, but apparently only 1 mentor (guess he still has some learning to do in that apartment )
Never question the ultimate ruler of the hamsters

Just a heads up
The advert box on top no longer shows its content.
No error no nothing its just the nice CP orange.
It's not a server problem since I got it on web 16/19/21/22.
It's not always tho, from time to time it does show the advert but more often than not it's empty. (took 10 reloads to show it once and then again nothing)

Don't know if you did anything but it seems to be fixed now.
Maybe the hamsters heard you coming in and decided it was time to get back to work?

It would be nice if it were easier to create lists when posting a message, answer, or Quick Aswers question. Here are some ideas:
- Create a "make list" button. When clicked, it either opens a new window, or navigates to the bottom of the page and unhides a list creator.
- This list creator can just be a list of textboxes (stacked on top of each other).
- Each textbox represents a list item. Whatever is typed into each textbox will go between LI tags.
- The user gets to select OL or UL (that setting will be remembered).
- If you want to get real fancy, have ability to nest lists. So each textbox can have a slightly indented list of textboxes below it (with buttons or something to add children).
- Have a checkbox next to each textbox that indicates whether or not the contents will be HTML encoded when the list is created.
- Have a "master" checkbox that can toggle all of the other checkboxes.
- When a user starts typing into the bottom most textbox, another checkbox is added just below it, automatically (all trailing empty textboxes will not be included in the result).
- I'd probably add more ideas, but I'm tired of typing all these LI's
By the way, if you are interested in this idea and want somebody else to do the work for you, I'll consider making an article about it. My JavaScript skills are a little rusty, but this would be the perfect chance to shine them up.

Perhaps. I use markdown all the time with my wiki, but I find it pretty clumsy. It is especially clumsy when working with line breaks and code. However, markdown would probably be fine for 95% of the people who use lists.

Yuck!
Have you actually tried it? It's just yucky.

But what's so horrible about something like having
1. One
2. Two
3. Three
Turn into
- One
- Two
- Three
I don't think I'd want to support the full markdown syntax, but even just some basics such as lists, *...*, _..._, blockquote and a few other simple ones would help and be unobtrusive.

No thanks. I prefer the same language for messages, tips, articles, and everything. And I like the ability to edit them and view them outside the CP environment, in an off-line environment I'm familiar with; so HTML is my language of choice.
A few buttons to ease the most popular constructs is fine, such as the existing "code block" one. You could add a "create numbered list" and/or "create bulleted list" widget, which would insert some OL/UL and LI tags for say 7 items. The redundant ones are easily cut, but I'm not asking for any of that.
BTW: IMO there isn't an absolute need for a one-fits-all approach, if one editor is perfect for all jobs, then that's the one; if not, please consider making the choice a personal setting. (Of course this may somewhat conflict with the many people working on one message idea).

Exactly. It caused no end of mess.
So you don't feel the addition of automatic conversion of
* One
* Two
* Three
and
1. One
2. Two
3. Three
to UL and OL lists wouldn't be simple, unobtrusive and helpful?

I can't speak for Luc, but I think this is a great idea.

For short stuff (today's forum messages) I wouldn't mind having that, but I don't consider it a priority. I do type 1. aaa 2. bbb 3. ccc with newlines and am happy with the result already; and I don't do unordered lists, having numbers makes replying much easier.
If you implement it, I prefer separate lists to have continuing numbers, i.e. not restart at 1 (or 0 for JSOP and some).
For long stuff (articles) I would prefer not to have it; I know MS Word does it and most often makes a mess as soon as I want nested lists, lists that restart at 1, etc. Maybe it is too intelligent to guess what I really want.
For both it is important that I can create a text, preview it, edit it, do a full or partial copy/cut, then paste it again, while keeping everything as intended, i.e. it should be smart enough to either undo what was added/changed automatically, or avoid doing it twice when pasted again. One of the reasons is I do keep a copy some of my messages in a separate "database" so I can reuse them without further ado. And when I need them often enough I turn them into a little article.
