I am trying to write up a review but every time i try to use the advanced post editor it reverts to the simple when i hit preview and if i go back it screws up my paragraph spacing (hard returns) and will even change the order of sentences.
Also the advanced won’t show images, only the code for the image
In addition can i create columns and rows and put pictures in them?
My Firefox also reverts to simple after preview if I don't have any images in the post.
Are you actually hitting "back" hen you say that you go back? Because you should just select Advance Mode and continue editing rather than going back to the last screen. Regarding advance mode images, I "paste" the images in after "copying" them from their source (usually I host them on imgur.com). I don't use the "insert image" feature because I found it a bit fiddly.Then after I preview my pasted images, they remain as images and also the mode stays in advance edit mode.
Columns are available in the advance editing mode 2 buttons right of the binoculars. Choose 2 x 2 to start with and you'll get this:
First row and colum
First row second column
Second row first column
I'm wasting too muc
It's actually pretty ugly and the cells adjust to how much text is there. In Word the cells are static and the text fits itself inside the boxes. Needs a bit of fiddling I think.
That's a table I made in Word and copied into the editor. I had images in Word but they wouldn't copy over properly so I had to manually copy and paste the images straight into the editor. Then you can align the images vertically and horizontally. It's all very fiddly and clearly wasn't designed to handle these sorts of tasks.
I am not hitting back, i mean when i change between simple and advanced under the text box
I tried quoting your word copied table, its huge, and unworkable
I can’t just make it up once and post, i need to hit preview while i am writing the review to make corrections and see how thigns are showing up but i can’t get it to cooperate
Now i have a new problem, i changed my settings to advanced post editor for all three categories, now i can't insert an image at all, if i try put in the link type 40% and hit ok it refreshes the page with an empty text box, and if i insert a table and try to put an image in it it gives me a leave page or stay page options and neither will let me put in an image.
When posting this i got: Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.
I would advise against using the table at all, it’s not coded well for this platform and still quite buggy.
When inserting images just copy and paste them directly from the browser ie, right click on the actual image and copy, then paste into advance mode. Resize as necessary. If you still wish to make a table or collage of images, use MS Paint or something simple and save it as 1 image.
