Posting issue


Did anyone have trouble posting today?

reply

no

reply

Nope.

Well, actually, I notice there is a delay; however, I thought it was due to my intermittent internet. Spectrum is really screwing up the internet for everyone who does not upgrade!

I haven't posted today yet, so I don't know, but I've been having trouble with my "back" button on this site recently.

It's like it refuses to take me "back" half the time.

Also, did anyone notice the "bolding" problem?

For example, if I were to post this (without the spaces of course)...

[ b ]Posting bold once[ /b ]
No bold here
[ b ]Posting bold twice[ /b ]

...it comes out looking like this...

Posting bold once[/b]
No bold here
[b]Posting bold twice


The tags should be gone, and it bolds everything from that point on, whether I want it bolded or not.

I've had the same problem with bolding text, and with quoting.

No issue with the back button or with posting.

Strange. I just used bold a few days ago and it worked fine for me.

reply

Bold[/b]
No bold
[b]Bold

It's been a glitch for a couple of weeks now.

I'm guessing it worked okay for you a few days ago because you only did one bold in your post.

See--It works just fine as long as you only do one bold per post.

A pal,said he couldn't do multiple quotes in a post earlier this week.

You have to do them on separate lines. I found that out with the link glitch.

Jim will definitely try to fix it if you email him about it.

I think I know what happened. When he first gave gave us the bold feature, I tried it and when I did, the entire page from my bold words down all turned bold. Everything, even the reply/delete/report buttons and even the buttons all the way at the bottom of the page, all turned bold. So I emailed him about it and he made an adjustment and this is all probably the result of that adjustment. So if you tell him about this glitch he'll do what he can to fix it.

Thanks to all for your input. Let's try out of a couple of things...

Italicize me[/i]
Italicize me not
[i]Italicize me


I think I know what happened.


Stop quoting.

No quotes here

[quote]I think I know what happened.


Italicize me

Stop italicizing.

reply

Okay, so I think that we can safely say that as long as you only do one quote, bold, or italics per post, everything is fine.

However, once you do more than one, it gets them all confused.

I bet the same thing happens with spoilers...

[spoiler]Spoil me.[/spoiler]
Spoil me not.
[spoiler]Spoil me.[/spoiler]

Just what I thought...The same damn thing.

Ok. This would be the perfect post to send to Jim. That way he could see what's happening very clearly. Copy the url to this entire thread and email the link to Jim along with a summery of the problem. He will definitely try what he can to fix it. 😊

reply

Done!

reply

I've had the same problem. It's like it ignores that you properly closed the first bold tag and it does not close the bold until the second bold closing tag.

So we can use only one bold string per post or.

reply

I have experienced the same issue.

There's seems to be a glitch when trying to bold and quote multiple things. I would just end up deleting the bold/quotes after submitting a post because it would just show the [b] or [quote] brackets but end up bolding the entire paragraph, or not properly quoting multiple sentences properly.

It's not the biggest problem, but has anyone notified Jim about this?

(edit) nvm, I just saw the other post above. Thanks for notifying Jim!
