Yeah you have quite a resource there. ToyKeeper rocks!
I have to agree with TK on this:
“I could get behind having a way to ‘like’ posts and maybe a karma point system based on how many likes a person has received… To avoid drama though, a ‘dislike’ option might not be a good idea.”
A simple “helpful” button would suffice. I also agree that having a “like” and “dislike” button sounds like trouble. There’s no reason to make it easier for people to complain. A chance to give a nod to helpful members is something I can get behind.
Take that SB! Who’s busted now! Bort took you to Bort school!
Ok that was fun. Obviously some glitches to work out. SB, I truly appreciate this thread where we can discuss and work out the bugs… and have a bit of fun in the mean time. Just another reason BLF is so great.
New bug, i tried to edit this thread, i hit edit, switched to advanced post editor, then hit preview, most hard returns disappear along with some formatting
Hasn’t it always done that when you convert a post from simple to the advanced editor?
I’ve noticed lots of my posts (pre-upgrade) where someone with the advanced editor would quote me and reply, and all my linebreaks were gone along with some formatting. It’s because the simple posts don’t use the markup the advanced editor uses internally, and it includes the content as-is instead of trying to translate it.
Not sure about if it always did that while editing one of your own posts though. So that might be new.
Yep, I agree this isn’t ideal, but it’s not new. It’s not really ideal to have two markup languages used interchangeably on a site, but it’s basically necessary for our needs
What you can do Bort is view the thread normally and before you hit EDIT copy the whole thing. Then, hit EDIT, switch from Simple to Advanced Post Editor, delete all the text, and then paste. This preserves the formatting (HTML) and lets you edit it visually.
I don don’t think anyone saw it as a jab. I certainly didn’t. Just having a bit of fun Bort.
There are plenty of unintended consequences involved in a project of this size. Some more frustrating than others. I’m sure all will be resolved given time.
SB I hate to ask another question but until the automatic subscription can be fixed is there any chance of additional subscribe buttons? As far as I can tell right now the only place it exists is in the first post of any thread. If it were at least at the top and bottom of each page that would help in the interim. If it can’t happen I understand but I figured I’d ask. All your help is definitely appreciated. If I knew where you lived I’d bring you a six pack but since I dont…
