[08-NOV-2011] Minor update to post editor

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that I just updated the post editor with a new bugfix release. Please clear/refresh the browser cache and let me know if you run into any new problems.

Thanks,
Have fun!

Very many thanks again for the effort you put into maintaining this forum. I know it is greatly appreciated by all.

I can’t post unless I hit “disable rich-text” each time. It took me a while to figure out why I suddenly was not able to post.
If I don’t disable rich-text each time there is no blinking cursor in the text box no matter what I do.
Something is still wrong. Even when I tried to edit this post and the post came up blank until I hit “disable rich-text” again and then my text appeared.
I also have 4 paragraphs but once I post it’s all one paragraph. I guess that’s what disabling the RT does but that’s the only way I can even post now. I’d really like to be able to form paragraphs again :slight_smile: I have an older computer and maybe my operating system/browser is no longer compatible but everything was fine until midway through today.

For some reason I can't insert/edit any links. Even the insert/edit image doesn't work which means no personal smileys for me. :(

Let's see if I can insert an image...

Looks like it's working for me. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I use Google Chrome.

Hi there gcbryan and fishinfool,

Oops, sorry you're having problems. Could you please clear your browser's cache and try again? If not, I'll roll back the change.

Thanks a lot!

I did that but I still have the same issue.

It still doesn't work but that's ok because I've been having all kinds of other problems with this old computer. So I bought a new pc with Win 7, a 6 core amd cpu and 10 gigs of ram. :bigEFFINsmile:

Thanks, this update has made it so when I hit enter on my iPhone

Hmm, so what's the verdict, did this new update solve more problems than it created?

OK, some smileys don't work. When you add a smiley, it adds symbols, but when you press "space", for example, to continue writing, something "hidden" is added before the smiley, so it doesn't work later :| Still unsolved since that update almost 1 year ago. Worked flawlessly before.

UPDATE: btw, all smileys should be added as word by defauld

Well, it certainly did nothing good for me since I can’t create a paragraph :slight_smile: I’ll do my part and write less but whatever I do write will be more annoying (than usual) I’m sure since paragraphs are particularly nice to have. The “confirmation box thing” is only annoying to me but having no paragraphs is annoying to everyone :slight_smile:

Hmmm sorry about that... Firefox browser? Or IE? Something must be wrong with the configuration.

One thing that makes it go klablooey is when I use the "insert custom symbol." If I do this, "Foybezels™ " sometimes it forgets everything below the line with the custom symbol.

Not complaining, just letting you know if you already don't know. Lost the bottom 60% of my M8 review today and had to re-write it. Not that it matters anyway, nobody seems to care about that light.

It's all good, SB. Best forum on the web. Wish I owned one like it.

I have an older operating system so I can’t upgrade with the latest browser. I have Firefox but it’s not the latest version. It works everywhere else however.

Could you give more details please about OS and browser version? I might be able to tweak something.

Firefox 2,00.20 Windows ME

OK, thanks. And before this update it worked fairly well for you?

Yes. There was no problems with being able to post. Now I don’t even get a cursor unless I hit that link at the bottom that says “disable rich-text”. When I do that I can’t use paragraphs. The “confirm box” issue that I mentioned in another post occurred sometimes but not for every page I look at as it does now. I don’t get that or the posting problem on any other site. There are a few sites that has excessive Java based ads or scripts that sometimes cause a pop-up asking me if I want to stop the script but that’s only on a few large sites that have nothing but moving ads.
