Who is Having Forum Problems???? Missing Editor Buttons - etc.

I'm getting private messages about problems. They center around the editor functions. Myself, I'm having problems as well. I don't have buttons to embed video, color, smilies etc. ALL my editor functions have gone kaput since last night. I don't have a clue!

Some of the posts are not showing up.  It seems the main page is only displaying the first few posts or something. 

I can't see some of the other posts until I hit "reply to topic"   Then they are visible.  Like there is no page 2 or something...

It's MIB wanting to stop me. No just joking i think. Still having the same problems I messaged you about, again so sorry your getting this on your birthday. Well Happy Birthday anyway and hope you liked the gift David and I sent.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR . . . been working on the problems but so far getting no joy. I've sent Delfi a PM to see if she has any ideas. My idea bucket has run dry. The only button I have when I hit preview is the "change editor function" button and that one doesn't do anything. There is no editor to change. Something has glitched tween last night and this morning. I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Meanwhile, try a computer reboot, delete your board cookies, log back in and see if that helps you. I did all that and it didn't do anything for me but who knows, it may help you.

Ditto Researcher...............no editor functions available.

Have you noticed that the quick reply has a lot more functions than it did before? That might possibly have something to do with it. This is the first time I've used it and it's not bad.

Oooo! I love the smilies. Thanks!

Yes, I noticed, but I also noticed that the other stuff broke when it showed up. I'm at a total loss as to why??? When I preview what I've done the editor goes completely away and there is no way to get it back. Bad, bad should I want to modify something before I send it to the board.

me, but I just fixed my problems on my end... with new text editor and formatting so hopefully handles my past over running text.

A PM message from Delfi below that she asked me to pass along. If anyone can fix it superwoman can. Meanwhile when I start recording Hagmann at 6pm PST I won't be available to even touch my computer as the recording will pick up ANYTHING the computer sounds off on. I'll be back on afterwards about 9pm-ish.

Oh my! They installed a new editor. I have to go into the code and remove and add about a dozen things. For the moment all the controls are in the editor at the bottom of the page in the quick reply position. I'm covered in pond water, been cleaning the filter, Smile so, I'm going to take a quick shower and start working on it. Love Delf

If you like you can make a note to the members about while I try to fix it. Smile Pray!!!! Pray hard, I start feeling a little pale when I go into that place.....(the code box I mean) lol

Heehee!

Allrighty everyone,  I have done what I can and the rest is up to the forumotion folks!  I expect results pretty quickly, the editor is still in Beta so they're  testing things..... I'm going to try not to bother them, while they are nice, they're very persnickety, I think it's a French excellence thing.......

Wow, I hope it's soon?

Delfi, that's one funny video...funny what you can find, eh?

When this new editor appeared yesterday the change apparently bled over to one members permissions and reset them all to off, meaning that the person could no longer start a topic. I had to reinstate the permissions. The member was still able to post to a topic that was already going though. Very strange? If anyone else is having high weirdness in an account that worked fine before the changes, please PM a mod or leave a message here on this thread.

Researcher, I still only have the editor button, I can still post but nothing else any suggestions?

I have the same. Go about 5 postings up and look at what Delfi had to say. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon but til then, hang in there.

Same here still. Got some good post to get out.

I'm going through smilie withdrawal...

Rose, the quick reply is now a full editor. With smilies.

Wbap radio went on a kick a  couple of years ago and they started playing these.  Here's another,

  

The problem I've been having with the forum is not being able to read it on my iPad. The index page is fine but when a post is opened, there is black text on a dark gray background. If I could pinch it larger, it would help make the text more visible but it won't resize. I don't have this problem on other forums. Other text colors are readable like aqua, dark blue, and orange but for some reason, not the yellow.

Jem, the Ipad has a classic version that you can open. At the top is a grey/blue bar with   the Watcher title, you'll see a black space to the right of it. click that and it will open into classic version.  the mobile version is not compatible with our forum colors.

I'm hoping they get to this before the weekend but they have 14 pages of problems and I've posted twice already,  If I dare post again they will yell at me..... They're kind of that way... Researcher knows!  Ahh, the French, J'aime les Francais, Vraiment je ne.

It's about all we have, I'm glad you like it though, comparatively speaking, we're having fewer problems than others, from what I've read.  I quoted you and it gave me this blank editor so I'm going to copy and paste this whole thing to the quick reply, so I can send you a smile.

Yeah, I'm only seeing "switch editor" button on new topic...

Yeah, which doesn't work.

I like the new editor in the preview mode too. But I sure do miss the one we had after you did a quick preview. BTW, nix that 14 pages stuff on the support forum Delfi mentioned above. I was just there and it's now 38 pages. I'm betting these guys are busting their collective @$$e$ to get some fixes up. :

It's BEAUTIFUL! Now it looks just like it does on my computer. Thanks DelfI. 

38! did they answer my post? I'm afraid to post again,

My bad peeps on that 38 page thing. I had two different pages opened at the same time and quoted the wrong one. It's really 15 pages. Sorry bout that.

It's the government trying to stop us. LOL!

Okay, I just tried the quick reply and I love it!  However, I can't use it when making an original post (new topic).  I'll be patient (I can always use practice with this ).

Well, they just released a code to fix the tiny jumpy smilies! I put it in and it works!  Yay! I'm going back to see what else they have posted.  Yay!

Rose, until the editors are fixed you can do what I do and use the quick rply to form your post then copy and paste it into a new post. I know, it sucks but  they are working on things!

Thank heavens we have Supergirl to mess around with CSS codes and what-not. The smilies look great!!! I know about as much about CSS and codes as I know about piloting the space shuttle. There might be another small problem Supergirl can look into if time permits. Delfi, I don't know if this is showing up to anyone else but your siggy is smearing all over the place. This started happening when the editor changed. A picture below so you can see.

Check it out! I just used the Post reply box!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy.
Researcher, I'm not seeing that, I'm using IE. hmmmmmm.

This is how dumb I am, I though  this forum was phpbb, because it says that at the bottom. Luckily I saw my error when I posted on the forumotion Geeks, forum.

Try, clearing your cache.... I think it's at the bottom of the page.
Idk if it will work, it's just one of the Forum geek suggestions.

Also, if you are using the quote and can't get out of the quote box, just click the last icon above (switch editor mode) and it will remove the boxes and let you type.

I like Supergirl!

Well, I think this is pretty much fixed. Please report any problems.Gotta tone down the color of these editor boxes but Yay!

Researcher, I'm using firefox now and I'm still not seeing it.  Let me think for a bit,

No problemo, cleared cache, logged out and back in, etc. seems to be OK now.  Who woulda thunk it?  Thankeee dahlin'.  

Oh my goodness, I see a - - -  GASP - - - an editor now when I previewed my literary masterpiece before 'for real' posting.  Happy happy joy joy.

Change Supergirl to Wonderwoman!

Do you like the new editor? I think it's easier....

Delfi, your signature (in blue) seems to bleed over sometimes onto the post below it.

I had that too. Empty your browser cache, close browser, re-boot computer. That cured it for me.

Researcher, that seems to have fixed it. Thank you!

Thank Delfi about 6-8 posts up.
