'Edit Post' just knackered my thread..... :(

[Hordak]

Did a small update to one of my tracklist threads, and this happened:

Dreamscape 17 vs 18 'The First New Year’s Double Pt 1' - 11/3/1995

WTF ???

[Wigs]

Blimey!

[China-Rising]

Bloody hell, what happened there?

There may be a very slim chance to get it back to normal. Just click on edit your post again and see if a little box pops up on the right hand side, towards the bottom of the posting box which says "restore previous content" if it doesn't, then it's kind of screwed.

[China-Rising]

On a side note here as well. Now that quick reply is enabled, when editing posts and you click on the edit post button, it is much better to then hit the go advanced button. If it's a big post such as the one above, just copy it first. I guess it doesn't help Hordak at this point (unless my little tip works in my previous post) but it's just for future reference.

[Hordak]

Yeah tried it and appears it's indeed screwed. No idea why tho?

Shame. The only thing which could have happened was during the point where you hit submit, it didn't update in the database properly when it was writing to the SQL database.

Ta China, duly noted.

what a massive pain in the arse!

bad luck fella.

If this quick edit stuff is causing problems for people or causes future problems for folks when editing large posts, or posts in general, I will turn it off. I don't think It would/could be quick reply but as it's never happened before, we have to look at this from all angles.

+reply to thread tab won't work for me, i have to click go advanced to ...er go advanced. i don't like the quick reply, it has wierd glitches like telling i need to type at least one character when i have obviously done loads more, wont post till about 4 clicks...... im not one to moan, but i wont be usin it. if other people want to use it leave it there, it isn't hard to post in the oldskool way

it's all about oldskool......

I will give it till the end of this week for folks to mess around with, after that we will see about either leaving it on or turning it off. Either way is fine for me but I'll go with the general feelings of it from members.

[dj Euphoria]

its no hassle scrolling elsewhere for the advanced way, leave it where it is for noobs to try but i imagine most seasoned users will take thier pick.

[Swipez]

Think if it's ruining threads plus the extra clicking Go Advanced, which is a pain in the arse, I agree it should get the heave-ho

Re; the opening post. This sometimes happens in VB when you edit a post that has text format, i.e. bullet points, lists or tables etc.

was gonna say this. I've had it where i've preivewed the post & things have been amiss, so go back or forward to edit it & it turns out similar to Hordaks mess.
