I asked about this over on the zetaboards support forum, and one of the authors has posted some javascript that is supposed to fix this. http://support.zetaboards.com/topic/330778/1

Let's test it: Code: `this [space][space][space][space][space]is [space][space][space][space][space][space][space]working` Edited by Revelation, Jun 9 2008, 09:40 AM.

Code: `[space][space][space][space][space][space][space][space]# [space][space][space][space][space][space]#[space]# [space][space][space][space]#[space]#[space]# [space][space]#[space]#[space]#[space]# #[space]#[space]#[space]#[space]# 1[space]2[space]3[space]4[space]5`

The solution I used was to specify a font block using courier and inserting HTML "&-nbsp;" (non-breaking space) instead of a space (ignore the hyphen between '&' and 'nbsp' -- without it ZetaBoards renders a non-breaking space!). Here's an example that uses regular spaces: Quote: FINAL TRANSMISSION: FPTBI UGDGX POFDV MXSUF MTGQK UJFGM MGGPV HXLNB MPUVS GQENW You can see that the spaces are stripped out. Here's what it looks like when using non-breaking spaces: Code: `[q-uote][f-ont=courier] FINAL[space]TRANSMISSION:[space]FPTBI[space]UGDGX[space]POFDV[space]MXSUF[space]MTGQK[space]UJFGM[space]MGGPV[space] &-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;&-nbsp;HXLNB[space]MPUVS[space]GQENW[/f-ont][/q-uote]` Quote: FINAL TRANSMISSION: FPTBI UGDGX POFDV MXSUF MTGQK UJFGM MGGPV HXLNB MPUVS GQENW Kind of a pain, but it gets the job done. Hope this helps. Moshe

Can you please find out from the ZetaBoard people if they have a fix for it? If not, can you enter a bug report? It would be _great_ if this were fixed. Moshe
