Topic Editor Bug

[alexedwin]

Hi

I believe there is a bug in the topic editor that will not allow me to create a continuos post with text and Jpeg files.
The text of the post disappears below the window and will not stay in place even if I use the slider and then try to edit the text.

I am using Version 1.1.10

It's basicly imposible to use for large topics.

Cheers

Any mods? What theme are you using?

What browser are you using? IE8 does funky things in a textarea.

Does this happen to all your members or just you?  Have you tried different browsers?

Hi

I'm not sure anyone else has seen this problem on my forum, it's not that active.
I tried the same thing on a friends forum in the US and it did the same thing there.
I have seen this before but I can't remember where.

I am aware that someone else reported this but in the wrong section of  the forum.

What settings do you have for Admin > Forum > Posts and Topics > Maximum allowed post size:

I'm pretty sure I've got maximum set, I'll check that.
I have not tried other browsers.
I am using IE8 but I'm thinking of going back a version.

I'm using the standard theme
I getting around the problem at the moment by using MS Word then cut and paste.
Guess what, it's doing it now while I'm writing this.

If you are experiencing it while posting here it is definitely your browser then as there are literally hundreds of post that are considerably longer that the one your just posted on here.

I'll see about getting rid of IE8 and let you know.

Sure thing.  We will be here.  I use FireFox myself.

Hi Jim

Took a bit of time but all fixed.
It was IE8, I've reverted back to IE7.

Cheers and thanks to all,
Alex
