In there a reason why bullet list points are different within tabs? Outside of Tabs: Test 1 Test 2 Inside of Tabs: See signature
An open circle is used for second-level items in a list, like so: First level Second level A second level list item works as such in HTML: HTML: <ul> <li>First level</i> <ul> <li>Second level</li> </ul> </ul> And the page automatically renders the items in the second ul -- the list within the list -- as open circles (or whatever you have second level lists icons set as). The bbcode tabs are actually an unordered list. Here's a simplified example of the parsed HTML behind the tabs: HTML: <ul class="tabs mainTabs Tabs"> <li class="bbTab active"><a href="#tab_1" class="active">This is a tab</a></li> <li class="bbTab"><a href="#tab_2">This is another tab</a></li> <li class="bbTab"><a href="#tab_3">And another</a></li> </ul> <ul class="tabsContent" id="tabContainer_#"> <li id="tab_1" class="bbTabContent">Content in first tab</li> <li id="tab_2" class="bbTabContent">Content in second tab</li> <li id="tab_3" class="bbTabContent">Content in third tab</li> </ul> So by putting a list within a tab, you're effectively putting a list within a list, and therefore creating second-level list items.
