Severian Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I am finding the forum is bahaving oddly. When I click 'quote' to quote a post I often am seeing what looks like html, eg. < br /> without the spaces. I am also finding that my posts don't format correctly unless I include html in them. Has something changed recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Where do you see the HTML? In the post box? Can you give an example of a post that you had to put HTML in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 For example, I am leaving a blank line between this and this I needed to type <br><br> after it to skip a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTML should never do anything in your posts. edit: Works for me. Can you show a screenshot of the post box and the results, if possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps, directly quoting you (with the quote button), typing this line, and hitting submit produces this. Edit: hmm... I now tried to upload a screenshot, but none of the buttons in the post box are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 And that looks exactly what I had input previously - except the quotation marks are improperly encoded. Perhaps something in the post parser thing got changed accidentally and is causing weird problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Just a WAG, but what is your editing option set to? In User CP, Edit Options (left column), all the way down under misc. Maybe changing that will do something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 The WYSIWYG option - I will try changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hmm. It seems cured now. I am not aware that I did anything - I tried switching java off and then back on again, but I am not sure if this was the problem or not... Thanks anyway. All's well that ends well.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 If it's WYSIWYG, what browser are you using? It may be funky Javascript causing the problem (not Java, Javascript)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 http://www.scienceforums.net/showthread.php?t=22842. There's also a sticky in the Philosophy forum. I'll change that to include a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
