I can't seem to figure out how to allow a post to not autoalign-left.
I'd like to be able to indent a couple lines before returning to full left alignment. (organization of info)
In the 'Edit' window it will work and display how I want it, but as soon as I click 'Update Post' it jumps back to every line aligning on the left side.
I know it's probably a CSS issue, but I can't seem to find it.
All I see Is the 'text-align:left;' in the container . and I don't see much else that would force the text to align left.
Sorry for being the dimwit, but I did try to find it in the global css file!
Its almost like everything is being forced to a block once it gets posted.

Chances are there are no CSS rules for aligning the post, and it's inherited from somewhere.
This might sound a stupid question, but what is it exactly you're trying to do? Align the text in a post to the right-hand side?
Do you want RTL text for certain languages? If so, you can try:

You may otherwise enable HTML for the specific forum (ACP -> Forums & Posts -> Your Forum -> Edit Forum, and check "Yes, allow HTML in posts"). A simple
<div align="right">Post</div> wrapper should work for you then.
Thanks for the replies
I'd show you what I'm after here, but this forum aligns left also
Example-
A list of states with cities-
I should be able to put Alabama, then drop down a line and indent, list a few cities while staying indented, then drop down ad align left for another state, drop down and indent and list a few cities. etc.
I could probably enable html, then use a definition list setup..
I just thought there would be a way to do it a little easier. I wanted to post this list for others to copy and use, so if I load it up with html I'm not sure how well it will copy/paste for them.
I suppose I could just link to a txt file.
Do you want it to look like the sample below? Use the "list" button at the top of the post/edit box.
List of stuff
It looks like that is the route I'll have to go (or use a definition list)
I have 220 some things to list, so it will be tedious. I had already done it in my html editor and had it looking good, text-wise. I was surprised to see everything was forced left like it is, even if I manually move it over in the edit window..
Oh well, live and learn. I may end up just offeringing it as an attachment.
Thanks for the help.
The problem is that web browsers don't show a leading space in a line or more than one space between words. I was looking for a way to turn on HTML in posts so you could add " " to code a hard nonbreaking space.
There is one klutzy way to do it, create a new MyBB code.
ACP > MyCode >Add New MyCode
under: Regular Expression *
add \[sp\] ... the \ is required
under: Replacement *
add:
Then anyplace you want a leading space you put in [sp] the result in a post will be a hard coded space. If you have a text file list try using something like the notepad editor to "find and replace" a space with [sp], then copy and paste that into your post.
