If you don't end your coding, it will affect every post and piece of text on the page. For example, here is boldface. Now, everything else after this is now bold. This will also be bad if you forget to add the / to the ending code.

Actually, that would be a user glitch. It's not the job of the forum software to fix a user's mistakes.

Not entirely sure I agree with that view... when one person's error is allowed to affect other peoples' content, that's a problem. Everyone shouldn't be punished for one person's mistake.
True. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit harsh today...rough day at work. Hopefully Drupal 6 will fix this.

That's one of the reasons we have moderators

-
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
But usually moderators fix those errors.
And I've only seen one recently, and that was a easily as posting a comment with the closing tag in front, and then I left a little message saying I had closed it.
Easy peasy.

I think that the users should get partial (yep, closed the tag) guilt for mistakes, but the forum should check for errors and, at least, not allow the users to post their comments while unclosed tags exist.
For now, just read the last sentence of my signature
(If I change my sig, here it is: 'If you forget to close tags make "</strong></em>" your sig.')
EDIT: Oliver, close tag. Or is it intentional?
Intensional.
I like that idea of changing your sign.
But don't forget </li>, </ol>, </ul>, </a>, etc. And </code>. I've seen that one left open alot, and it's quite annoying.
And now I can't close the tag, but I'll not leave one open with this comment.

I would say those ones too, but I wanted to keep the photoshop one, and the space was running out. Nobody replied to your comment directly, you should still be able to edit it, or not?
Anyway, next time for making tags without being parsed, use < for < and > for >
And, btw, & for &
See the information and formatting options on the bottom of the Make comment page.
EDIT: You already made it.
EDIT2: I make a lot of EDITs, don't I?
Oops, I missed- natural thing was for you too reply, to I didn't think about it.
Yeah, I looked at the source for yours and figured it out, thanks.
EDIT- Yep
EDIT2- um, no, not really, i made about 3 to mine, I just never showed them.
PS- I do like the photoshop, its a cool sig.

No, I already made 6/7 edits followed one by another in some comments. I try to avoid that on threads, but on comments it only escapes me (and I check and recheck before posting).
Beyond that there is the text that I forget to add that I clearly stand out as an EDIT for not confusing people.
Thanks, I though of a talk with people, that all OSS fans already had. Not only about Photoshop, but also about Windows, MS Office, CorelDraw...
be fixed when the site upgrades to Drupal 6.
Schweet!

A user's mistake should not be able to affect other people's posts. Notcice some of the dates are in bold, and when posting a non-reply comment, the bullet's are in bold. Maybe there can be an end code for all formats at the end of each post.

That would be bad. That system would make the forum pages, not only syntactically incorrect trough any html validator, as would make any older browser crawl when trying to read the page.
A better solution was to use JavaScript (I don't know this language but I know that it is possible) to detect unclosed tags and add closing tags to them.
Also don't forget that this is going to be fixed with Drupal6, as said above.
