I think the people who have all the code in their posts have used the website's capability to adjust the font and colors in their posts. I seem to recall you could change your default font style, size, and color and it would affect all your posts.

If that is the case, can you guys just disable that capability? It is actually a bad idea for accessibility reasons anyway, especially for people with low vision or color blindness.

Also Alex I know you said you hired someone to do this app. I hope you have since fired them, that's all I'm gonna say about that. The website itself is much better than before though!

Interesting hypothesis......I don't believe that's what's causing the HTML issue in our apps.

I'm not near my computer but I believe that feature was disabled when we launched BariatricPal. Are you still seeing these options ? I personally disliked them a great deal. I personally have no accessibility issues and still had a difficult time reading many posts using custom styling.

Can you point me to a post that's showing up as HTML for you in your app please ?

We haven't publicly released any of the apps we've developed internally. You should see the Android release this week and iOS beta release will follow soon after.

Second to last post here: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/200121-who-are-you/'>http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/200121-who-are-you/</a> And if I click it to see the HTML, it has a terrible pink cursive font. Also every post by one specific user. Username likasulema, aka Kathy. She is a sleeve vet and really helpful but all her posts show as code now. I think she had set her default font to be wrapped in <strong> tags.

I know that for HTML5 the "strong" tag (or bold) is a depreciated tag. Not sure what version of HTML you all are using.

The version of HTML is on the server in the actual web page. It is specified at the top of the file in an area called the DTD. You can see it if you choose View Source in your browser.

Deprecated tags are not required to be supported by the browsers but still typically work for a while after deprecation. But it is not likely that Kathy is using that tag on purpose. Somehow it is being inserted into her posts.

This issue has been resolved. Please let me know if you have any others.

New this evening, I'm getting a lot of this <br> thing....on the app. Only mildly annoying in the grand scheme of things.

Fixed

Even URLs in posts in the app now seem to work properly. Let's test: http://BariatricPal.com
