Quoting issues

Crimey wrote:Over the past few days, a lot of people have complained about the issues with the new posting system, and in particular the quote function not letting you post outside of the box. 

Thanks to Pete C, we've found a solution for this and have a temporary fix to a problem which wasn't our fault in the first place. The host site have changed the system to this new one when it is still in the beta stage, hence the issues.

Hopefully from now on, none of you will have any problems with the quote function and you can't use the new editor which in general is better. 

Sorry for the issues.

Cheers Crimey

At least when you type your own tags you know what the story is and how to fix it if it doesn' t look right.

Yeah, but now you can use the new editing system, which is actually slightly better and more user friendly by taking away codes, without having any issues with the quote function.

And more to the point, after the 5th time I wrote a helpful post telling someone where the change-mode button was I got tired of doing it and went looking for a 1-off solution

But anyway, what I wanted to say to the admins out there, the biggest problem I've encountered so far is that since yesterday evening, everytime I tried to get into a regular thread (having the new editor ON), the browser was crashing instantly and only 'Ctrl-Alt-Delete' could get me out of it... And the bigest problem is that in that situation, because the browser crashes' it's impossible to go and click the editor button to switch it OFF. Until a few minutes ago I couldn't find a way out, until by accident I decided to get into this 'global' thread, and I saw that here the browser doesn't crash, and so I could actually go and switch to the old editor and now write you this message...
 
I would suggest until this is fixed, it may be worth putting out a message visible somewhere on the board to indicate to others who may find themselves trapped in this situation, how to get out of it...

Hello,

I am pleased to announce that we have send on line, late last week, some modifications to fix some bugs that you reported in our new editor. This includes the following:
[*]Smilies problem in reports + BBCodes that turn into HTML
[*]Double quote in the smileys cause errors
[*]Can not write after a quote/code, the cursor automatically goes inside.
[*]Display problem with overview of smileys
[*]Loss customizing BBCodes with "style" attribute in the "table", "tr" and "td"
[*]loss of the font size when editing

For information, we still continue to work on debugging the new editor with your feedback and ask you to be patient. As we have announced, it is still in Beta testing, so it is normal to have imperfections that we try to fix it as soon as possible.

Regards

Forumotion wrote:Hello,

For information, new corrections for our new editor were sent online and are now available on your forums. This to ensure the stability and performance for the editor

The following items are now available on your forums:

Better caching for the new editor memory mode selected by the member (source code / WYSIWYG) i.e. the site should remember if you've clicked the "switch editor mode" button next time you log in
Add off an option in the admin panel (general >> Messages and e-mails >> Configuration) to enable / disable the WYSIWYG mode by default in the posts. Non admins please ignore this one
A correction of the loss of contents of the servimg window when you click elsewhere.I cna't remember if anyone's reported this one - it relates to embedding pictures
A correction of the bug causes that despite the fact that the smileys are disabled they still visible in the editor quick responses mode. Only relevant for forums who've disabled smileys

We continue our corrections / developments basing on your feedback.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Regards
