Re: New website - Known Issues
The system we developed has special filters for the copy/paste users from word. The formatting being passed through can cause issues (as you have seen).
I will someday think of something clever to say.

Yes that's quite common, and there may well be similar filters in use here (I haven't checked).boofhead wrote:The system we developed has special filters for the copy/paste users from word. The formatting being passed through can cause issues (as you have seen).
The issue here is that because it was an old post, the data was already in the database from the old website, so it hasn't passed through the new website code at all.
The old website would have displayed it, but the characters wouldn't have displayed properly because the browsers (at least Firefox) can't display them either.

So now I know why I was thrown off the "other" forum. My "character" did not match their "character" .......hybrid wrote: What I would say is that they are not part of the standard character set and for whatever reason, the web page is not able to handle them.

Re: New website - Known Issues
Scott I just did a test on your Fairstang project.
I made a database change, then just clicked on the edit button of your post, then hit submit without changing anything. The post is now visible.
So you can just do that on any of your posts that are blank and it should fix it.
I don't know if my database change made any difference or not. That may have worked the whole time.

Re: New website - Known Issues
hybrid I can't log on from my lap top at work. When I try it says "unknown login method" or similar. Apologies if this has already been discussed.
Ideas?

Is this just a recent thing?
You didn't have facebook selected as the authentication type did you?
I've disabled it now anyway.

Re: New website - Known Issues
It's been happening for a couple of weeks ever since I took that laptop to that premises (haven't used it there for years). I checked, Facebook definitely wasn't selected as the source. It was playing up still today, I thought it might right itself but no.
Look forward to checking it tomorrow, thanks.
