Hank Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I still have a messed-up home page. All the stuff is in the wrong place and it scrolls down forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I agree with that notion, the notorious slow down may be coming sooner than we thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have been having an issue lately where sometimes I will create a post and the font size will inexplicably change partway through the post. I am not in BBCode mode. It is the WYSIWYG editor that gives me this issue. It is also intermittent and I can't figure out how to reliably replicate the issue. It only occurs in the full site. I have not ever encountered the issue when using Tapatalk or the mobile site. I typically edit the post afterward to correct the font size. I can leave one alone next time it happens so I can demonstrate the issue. Also, the font size all appears the same in the editor. It is only AFTER posting that the text will sometimes randomly change size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 ^ I've never heard of that particular issue with CKEditor. Are you sure it's not happening when pasting or quoting text of a different size? Assuming that's not it... have you tried clearing the browser cache? An outdated JavaScript file could be causing something weird to happen.

Creed Bratton Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Do the rest of the forums load ok? Its just the Eages thread? Sorry haven't been on for a couple days. That was the only instance that I had that error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 When catching up on missed posts since I've last been on, I have noticed that upon exiting the second to last thread with unread posts, that thread and the last thread containing unread posts are marked as having been read.

Perhaps if I link to the post in question, we can figure out the issue? Normally I fix the font size with an edit, but this time I let it be so I can demonstrate the issue. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28955-what-live-shows-can-we-expect-in-the-2014-season/?p=598642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That same thing happened to me, but I copy and pasted something. It was weird because only half of what I pasted was messed up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 What browser & device did you type that post on? Did you switch back and forth between WYSIWYG and source editing? Did you restore previously saved content or quote someone's post at any point while editing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 That post looks completely normal to me. I don't see the problem at all. I'm using Firefox 27.0.1 on Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 What browser & device did you type that post on? Did you switch back and forth between WYSIWYG and source editing? Did you restore previously saved content or quote someone's post at any point while editing? I'm using Chrome 33.0.1750.146 on Windows 7. I never quoted anything, but I cut and pasted text within the post itself to change the ordering of my paragraph. All from the WYSIWYG editor. Going back and looking at the bbcode, it looks like a [size=4] tag crept its way into the code somehow. So actually, I suppose I was probably unclear about copying and pasting. No copying from OUTSIDE the post happened, but I did cut from WITHIN the post. It's a really minor thing, so I don't feel like Dane or anyone else need to spend a whole lot of time on it, as I can just correct the posts when I see the issue occurring. I typically try to paste into notepad and copy from there to strip the text of any formatting when I need to copy/paste plain text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 ^ The BB Code is generated automatically based on the HTML from CKEditor. Span tags (with a style attribute) are somehow getting into the rich edit field's HTML. Cutting and pasting, even from your own post, could cause this to happen. If the clipboard text gets wrapped in a tag with a specified font size, you'll end up with the corresponding BB Code. For what it's worth, I use Firefox on Linux and Android 99% of the time, and I've never had this happen to me. I haven't tested this across browsers and operating systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I always use Chrome, but my posts are split about 50/50 between Windows and Ubuntu. I'll be on the lookout and see if by some strange chance it is affected by Operating System. I'd bet money it's a browser-related bug and OS won't matter, but you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 ^ It's probably either a Chromium bug or a CKEditor bug specific to Chrome. You could try to track it down and file it. Or you could use Firefox to post, since it apparently works. Adobe Flash in Firefox on Linux generally isn't a positive experience, though, thanks mainly to Adobe. Netflix (Silverlight) works great, though, thanks to the Pipelight project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though having been an Ubuntu user since Hardy Heron, I know the pain of Flash in Linux. Chrome solves many of the issues with Flash in Linux, but introduces a whole slew of others. But I digress. This probably isn't really the place for me to discuss such things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The easiest way to get around this is to either click the "Paste as Plain Text" button (the middle "clipboard" icon), or set the WYSIWYG editor to always paste as plain text by default (click the button at the far right of the top row, check "Paste as plain text by default" and click "OK"). That will prevent any HTML formatting from the source from messing you your post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WailsLikeABanshee Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm using Tapatalk (we don't have internet right now) and when I go into the "Participated" section, some threads I can't view since I "don't have permission to view this thread." I was trying to check up on Media Day, but can't due to that issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, do you know how to fix it? And even if you haven't experienced it, any tips on how to remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated.
