[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but it appears to me that the links to “My Subscriptions” pages beyond the first page are broken.

The link to the second page should look like this:
http://budgetlightforum.com/my-subscriptions?page=1

but instead it looks like this, which breaks it for me:
http://budgetlightforum.com/my-subscriptions?timestamp=0&page=1

Hmm, weird. Thanks for the report.

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

Hey sb56637 thanks for all you have done. Much appreciated.

Love the Top button. But it doesn’t go all the way to the top. If it went all the way to the top it would be GREAT.

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. :beer:
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.

The OP (post # 1) has lost it’s “Quote” button after the transition.

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…

Fixed the “Mark as read” button. Due to the ambiguity of the past participle of “read” in English I almost made the button say “Mark readed”. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi there J-Dub74, this is surely technically possible, but I sure don’t know how to do it. :slight_smile: My apologies!

Sorry about that, it appears to be broken.

Back by popular demand…

You may have no idea what a relief this is. The weird emoticons with hair were really bothering me. Thank you.

Testing 1 2 3.

Advanced Post Editor test.

Nice!

Can you add those to the Advanced Post Editor?

Thanks.

Hmm, doesn't look like it. Although most of them will work by manually typing their symbols into the Advanced Post Editor.

So if anybody sees missing smiley references in old links (like *cool* or :STEVE:) just let me know and I’ll add those as alternatives. Thanks!
