demonx Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I just made a post - several paragraphs, however its displaying as one chunk of text I went to edit post, re formatted it and it still displays the same. If someones making updates/changes at the moment I thought you'd like to know this... Quote Link to comment
demonx Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ok - so the post I made above formatted correctly, however when I go to edit my old post now its editing in HTML Quote Link to comment
brian d Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I don't think that's the only problem -since this morning the forum looks different, and I can't seem to subscribe to any topics. The e-mails I get with the new topics don't have a "subscribe to this topic" link which they used to, and nothing happens when I click on "follow this topic" at the top of the thread page. 1 Quote Link to comment
Brian Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 With any upgrade there are bound to be a few problems, I just upgraded Prostheta to an Admin position so he can take care of the problems.... Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have been reviewing this problem and it appears to be a possible issue with the post editor. Version 3.2.0 onwards of the board software included a newer editor which takes care of all the HTML stuff in the background. Once a post is "committed" then any editing or whatever appears to drop you into editing it in HTML. I am on the case however I am indisposed for the next few hours. If it cannot be solved through simple setting adjustments it may need referring to the software provider. In lieu of giving out tutorials on writing fluent HTML I can only recommend bearing with this formatting problem. :-D PS. Yes, I am missing the emoticons also.... Quote Link to comment
ElRay Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I can't seem to subscribe to any topics.I'll have to 2nd this on. The "Follow This Topic" buttons don't work for me. Also, regarding the HTML, it's incorrect HTML to boot. There are non-breaking spaces inserted after the periods that end a sentence. They shouldn't be non-breaking. Ray Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 This is where I start dorking out on HTML ;-) You're right, it is indeed incorrect however it shouldn't be functioning in this manner as it is. The editor is supposed to be a full graphical affair will all the formatting bells and whistles. This is my number one priority above minor tweaks and changes. The upgrade was quite a jump in release numbers so changes are bound to feel more sudden of course. Quote Link to comment
Maiden69 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I replied to a thread by demonx and now I can't even find it. Also, everytime you go to check new content it gives you 5 pages of entries from the previous days (in my case, I checked in the AM and then again in the PM and got posts from 5 days prior). Also, the little arrow that says "preview this topic" is not working, I click it and it brings me to tthe top of the page. This are the little issues I have found so far. I found the previous version easier to navigate. Congrats prostetha, didn't notice the Admin tab till now. Brian needed some help there for the longest time! Quote Link to comment
demonx Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I just edited one of my posts to add more info and it didnt launch in to html this time. Edited as text. Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 If you press CTRL+F5 (or whatever your OS/browser's hard refresh key combo is) then the browser cached Javascript will be forced to reload. Chances are it has done so already if you are seeing the graphical editor now like I am. ElRay: The incorrect markup is now satisfactorily hidden from sight. Only kidding. The editor will now be inserting p tags instead of nbsp when you insert paragraph marks. Quote Link to comment
demonx Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Seems to be fixed. I don't envy your job and I'd like to take a second to say thankyou for your efforts. Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 NP. Like I say about many things, "it won't fix itself". That said, I tend to bury instrument builds when something goes awry, hoping that the magic luthier elves have made the problem go away for when I dig it out three years later. Quote Link to comment

I know that one - prime example my Blackwood/huon guitar. Quote Link to comment
DarkAvenger Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Also, everytime you go to check new content it gives you 5 pages of entries from the previous days (in my case, I checked in the AM and then again in the PM and got posts from 5 days prior). Easy fix, this is a new feature I like. The left hand side bar lets you sort the content in different catagories. Click 'Past 24 Hours' to return to the old style or try a new one! *The default is set to unread content* Edit: ...seems to be working? 2nd Edit: Tip: Use the "Full editor" option.

Prostheta Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Not sure. On the mobile right now, but most things are 100%. There is always an adjustment period. I'd rather concentrate on fixing anything that genuinely is broken rather than backtracking functionality. This is vintage-correctness gone mad. ;-p 2 Quote Link to comment
Mender Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Carl, congrats on the promotion, and thanks for taking this mammoth task on. The "repairs" are most welcome. We've even got the smileys back :D Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks, and it is good to hear that you are getting back on form after your own repairs. Although I do not want to be the "new broom" I think that there is a lot of new functionality on this version of the board software which brings it right up to date. Obviously more on this as and when things happen but otherwise business as usual. Quote Link to comment
Maiden69 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The preview is working now. I didn't pay attention to that menu on the left till yesterday. I switched mine to "new sincle last visit". Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Same here. It works very nicely within how i work. Quote Link to comment
westhemann Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 disabling a spammer is now a bit tougher...why are upgrades never really upgrades? Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'll see if there are tools to help that. I haven't tried it yet myself. Quote Link to comment
