Help Code duplicating random lines/commands?

[rawry]

OK, let me preface this by saying that I am by no means a BBCode expert. I know a very small bit from my time on feral front, but it has expounded far beyond what I am familiar with. However, I'd like to think I know the basic idea.

I'm just trying a very BASIC code for my interest thread. Tabs and some border/scroll control for the interest of mobile users. That's about it. But very strange things are happening.

Every time I think I have it down in my code storage, the preview is looking nice, everything seems to be in working order, I save it. But then something changes that I did not touch. Some extra bold commands are added to random places, although they're technically where they should be (meaning not in the middle of words or sentences). I delete it, thinking maybe, just maybe, I missed something. I save it again. Everything looks good.

I go to post. I copy and paste the code into the thread. I preview. Fix up anything weird. Preview again. Everything looks good. I hit 'post thread.' Suddenly, the same thing happens again. Random lines are bolded. New tabs are added that I didn't put in. Commands are duplicated and added to the bottom of the thread.

I... don't know what's happening. Is my profile possessed? Is there some sort of glitch or bug I have no clue about? Am I asking too much of the code????

Here is the code itself for the interest thread. I've tried to fix it up as best I can, but I don't even know if maybe it will change upon the posting of this thread. I am very much at the end of my rope here. (edit: the code did, in fact, change upon the posting of this thread. I'm doing what I can now to clean it up, but it may still not be the exact same as what I wanted. But, again, it's simple, so you can probably tell what I wanted to do even if it's messed up.)

I'll be honest- I don't see anything wrong with your basic tags, like [b][/b] or [i][/i]. Where I spot the issues is with your [border][/border] tags, as you open two when your tab starts and then only seem to close one before the tab ends. You need to make sure that, however many border tags you open in a tab, you close the same amount before you close the tab.

(You should also make sure to close the font tag at the end of the code, just to make sure it all stays neatly contained).

Some extra bold commands are added to random places

Usually I find this issue when I have an open command somewhere. It's one of the most annoying things about coding on RPN because it just adds the command to every line. The only way I've learned to avoid this issue is to always be in "BB code" mode and never switch to the normal text format. I think the problem may come from switching back and forth honestly. I don't think there's a problem on your end, it's just how the site translates between the two modes. ):

I've tried adding a second "border" to the code, but the same thing is still happening. Same with the end font tag. The moment I saved it added another layer of code in a random spot.

 

[rawry]

I think I'm just going to try rewriting it from the ground up and seeing if it works then. Maybe there's just an open command somewhere I'm missing.

I think that fixed it! I think the problem was I had a ton of extra end tags laying around ( lots of end borders when there was no starter and one open bold command) so once i cleaned that up that seemed to fix it. Thank you guys for your help!
