Forum post editor broken?

[MG2R]

I've just spent about two hours editing this post because it got f*cked during the transition from vBulletin to IPB (as did the whole thread). When I clicked 'Save changes', the post got even more screwed up. I really don't have courage to completely edit this again!

 

Mods, help? :(

Seriously not stoked about this one :/

[MG2R]

Me neither.

It works 90% of the time. when it doesn't it is annoying i suppose.

To say the least. After all the effort I put into perfecting that post. Freaking two hours of editing straight through the window.

Sometimes when editing a post, it comes up all weird. Like just text and none of the tools. Also sometimes I get stuff like <p> around certain things.

It's a known issue actually. Sometimes the sanitizer will process your stuff twice, which

results in HTML being printed out. I'm sure it'll be fixed at some point. But indeed, it

does suck a lot if it happens to a long post.

Personally I always <CTRL>-<A><CTRL>-<C> before sending any post, even new ones. If it

gets screwed up, I can simply edit it and <CTRL>-<A><CTRL>-<V>, then save again.

So basically I'm just f*cked? Ain't editing this anymore tonight, it's 01:40 in Belgium right now. Tired. Have a good night, I know I won't #pissed

Happened to me a few times, when you edit posts edit in full editor rather than HTML editor, its only ever happened to me in HTML editor if I recall correctly.

If  you are going to do a huge long post (which most of us skip anyway, lol) do it in word first, then copy and paste it in, once you have got it how you want it. saves having to edit it.

This is a known bug with most IPB forums. Ghost and myself have had success editing the post and using the full editor and that removes the issues however it doesn't always work. Something you could try is putting it all into something like Dreamweaver and copying out the design content.

Update - I chucked it into a text file and turned that into a HTML file. Here's a copy

Hadn't thought of that, thanks!

Damn, I thought I'd fix it but was too slow with posting the result. Ah well, c'est la vie. :lol:
