BBCode Help Page Fixes

[Geek]

Whilst on dark theme, all of the code inside the code boxes on the BBCode Help Page is not visible. After changing the text color to black inside of DevTools (line 541 in css.php) it's much easier to read. In addition, the colour of the quotes and general code will need to be changed back to white. I did so on line 125 and 61 in css.php respectively.

I'm sure there's better ways to go about changing the text colour, this is just a way that worked for me as I'm not a web developer. Here's what it would look like in the end

After more review, I've found that the FontAwesome section is broken!

Changed line 1641 in the html file to

<p class="description">Enhance your thread with icons from <i class="fa fa-font-awesome" aria-hidden="true"></i> Font Awesome 1.7. <a href="https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/"> View all icons on their website.</a></p>

Whilst we are at it, why not upgrade our FontAwesome to FontAwesome 5.12 as it's the latest.

Also, I've neglected to update the colours for the title's in my OP. Line 512 in css.php should be changed to white. If you also want, you can update the "Example" and "Output" text colours by modifying line 536 in css.php. I personally don't like it, so I suggest just removing it, but please do what you think is best naturally.

After everything is said and done, here's what it would look like.

Unfortunately, that would break many of the icons on the site at the moment which could take a while to get all updated.

For future reference, the contents of the css.php "file" and other pages are dynamic either loaded from cache files or the database.

For now, I have removed the broken HTML from the Font Awesome BB Code portion of the help page.

Damn, I really like some of the updated icons. Oh well.

I know that the css file is dynamically served, but it was the only thing for me to reference for ya to show what I changed that worked. Thanks for fixing the broken html!

Since this is such a minor bug that we seem to have we’re not going to be fixing it. This is due to the fact that we’re migrating to XF2 in the future and when we do that it will require a full re-write of everything from the ground up.

Thank you for the bug report nonetheless,
