Bulleted lists in articles?

SMF should really only target the element they want rather than the blanket one... we are limited in what we can do.

I'm afraid , once a certain person digs their heels in you've got very little chance of changing something.

Does seem a bit bad that it's such a global element. There's a few in there which I found while playing with themes. like,

Code Select Expand

.hidden {
display: none;
}

Which completely upsets the board stats and throws them out of line when you have no posts in those boards, or a redirect board.

That applies to pretty much every contributer on the SMF team 

Not that I can be any better when I want to develop something, I tend to do it my way... its a inherent character flaw in most developers.

FYI... changing the article type to BBC (from HTML) provided some whitespace spacing between the list items, but the bullet circles are still missing.

I have a feeling this isn't going to go our way.  Looks like it's down to the mod authors to work around it.

I do not expect a correction from TP: I just committed a css fix for Tinyportal...

If you just change the article type the html codes will remain in the article, and the problem persists: you will als have to update the html tags to bbc tags manually for them to take effect...

Thanks @rjen

Just tested that code on my local. Seems to fix the bullets on my html articles.

The bbc articles I'm still having a problem with, It's fine when you're editing, but it just shows the bbcode code when viewing the article.  They were messing about with bbcode in 2.1 I'm wondering if this is the result of that.

BBC still works fine for me. Did you update SMF from github recently?

Cleaning out the HTML and adding in the BBC equivalents from scratched resolved this for me.

Nope, just running RC1 Release atm, haven't done any updating since, and was just awaiting RC2.
