Bug Report #17 Let the Creativity Roll or Heaven Help Us All

[foraloysius]

Now let's try this. This is working perfectly on my minilaptop. I guess I will have to try and see how it works on my desktop computer when I am back home again.

I believe I cleared up the large-font interline spacing issue.  Lets give this a try, it looks like I'm screaming lol.

Yay it works, I love getting to cross things off of my <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">to-do</span> list.

2 sentence rule?

On this thread in the link I cannot write over 2 paragraphs and have the preview match what I typed. I mostly tried with Firefox and a Mac; I also tries Safari too.

What gets in the preview is the first and last paragraph;and the middle get deleted. It evens when text is pasted after a reboot

If something like that happens, just switch off the advanced editing bar and you should be able to post normally.

I'm still working out a few of the bugs, but with the bar off it is the old code and should work without any issues.

Can you email me the text you were trying to post, i would to debug/test it? Thanks!

The advanced editing bar on my is about always "greyed o

I think I have only seen the "bar active" every blue moon. is is always greyed out for me here.

This is with an Imac 20" from 2006 with 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.13 2Ghz 2 gigs ram Intel CPU duo . I mostly use all PC's and have been just using this iMac on the Internet in the last 10 months,and am not a Mac person at all.

3beltwesty, in the thread you had the problem, you typed:

In some web sites like this and others, a few folks swear that liquid detergent somehow degrades the aluminum FL washer's spider quicker than powder.

Here I have really had little issues with powders or liquids in my 1976 FL Westinghouse or 2010 LG FL washer

I suspect it wasn't the length of the text, but the text that came right after the word washer.  Do you have the original text saved?  In order for me to debug I need to know exactly what was typed after that word.  If you do can you email it to me at [email protected] I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks!

</font>Actually Peter, I'm planning on getting rid of that entire page and moving the rest of those page elements onto the top navigation bar.  I want that bar to be used across more of the site.

Jared its gray for you because the bar is only available to upgraded users and to be upgraded you have to be over 18, which I'm pretty sure you are not yet.

Question for upgraded users:
Has anyone else had issues with disappearing text or other issues?

 

[sudsmaster]

I've run into some problems with the advanced editing turned on.

I typed a long message (well, a few paragraphs) with it on. When I went to preview the message, only the first paragraph showed. I backed up and tried to do a cut and paste of the original message into the edit window, but it still truncated most of the post.

Finally I turned the advanced editing off and was able to paste the original message into the box, preview it, and post it in its entirety.

Just thought you'd want to know...

Thank you Rich for the report, a few users have reported something similar to me with long posts getting cut off after the first paragraph or two.  In order for me to debug this I need to know the text you were trying to post.  Can you tell me the thread and post # that this text resides?

Also did you copy the text originally (such as out of a word processor, etc) and paste it into the advanced editor text boxor was it typed completely in the advanced editor text box?

I've made some design changes to the site (a few more to come yet) to bring the site up to a more modern layout design that works well with both browsers and mobile devices.

Not to mention a new logo.

To fully see the changes be sure to hit SHIFT-Refresh both in the forums and on the home page.

 

[nurdlinger]

So I did the shift-refresh on the home page and saw the new layout. I clicked on "Daily Double" to see what that was. After realizing I had to mouse down to the link for the picture of the day, I clicked on that. It showed me the woman looking into the washer. Then, clicked on the smiling washing machine which replaced the "Push" button and wound up back at the old home page. I was expecting to see the new one at that point.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Thank you very much Tom, you are correct.  That should be fixed now.

 

[washernoob]

Robert! FABULOUS work! The main page is top notch. You did a lot of work making that! My hats off to you!

 

[westie2]

Robert I just logged on and saw the changes to the pages. Really great.
