Cratter Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Sorry but this version of the software is horrendous, from virtually not being able to delete previous quotes to not being able to edit saves....not to mention copy pasted links only show up as http something unclickable. On mobile android phone and fire tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mobile android phone and fire tablet. Wow, that's quite a list. Sorry to hear you're having so many problems! If a quote box is selected (if not, click the title portion of it) hitting delete works on all the platforms I have access to, but it doesn't include those you mentioned (though those are quite common, so it's hard to believe they're not tested). In the rare occasion that doesn't work, you can always still toggle to the "Source" view and just wipe out the text and the markup. Pasted links don't turn into something clickable until you actually post. It causes problems with the editing to make them live while in editing mode. You might also be running into an issue related to its attempts to smartly expand links--e.g. a link to youtube gets converted to an embedded video instead of left as a link. Not familiar with can't edit problem... is this immediately after posting? We have a time limit set where you can't edit posts after they've posted for a while because at that point they've become part of the conversation and modifying them disturbs that.

Cratter Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm not sure what's with the saving of edits. I try my tablet and phone...and both have issues. Sometimes ill reload the page and it'll work. Sometimes ill reload the browser and it'll work. Sometime neither correct it. I click the save button. And it does say "saving" instead nothing happens. Edit: yes it's immediAtely after posting. I guess that solves that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I tried to edit my edit right now...first edit worked. Second edit didn't wanted to Delete I guess it solves that...as I misread your text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Silly question, but the behavior on your devices is so erratic... have you tried clearing the caches/deleting local files? If your browsers were somehow running old versions of the files, that could lead to very erratic behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The saving issue is happening on both tablet and phone...seems to work fine for a first quick edit. Wonder if I'm suppose to wait a minute or five to edit again? Do you know where the source view is? I don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I just cleared browsers cache etc. Still edit once but trying a second quick one no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the little toolbar for the editor window (top of the message editing window) there is a button labeled "Source" in the upper left. It should be there on all screen sizes/resolutions. That toggles you from WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) mode to html/bbcode (shows you the markup). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 B I u $ (hyperlink), quote, code box symbol, smilies, bullets, numbers, left middle right align, text color, text size, and a preview button is all that's on that toolbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.... maybe I just see it because I'm a moderator. Well, there goes that idea. I'll do some more digging with the vendor on the edit issues. Again, Android is so prevalent that it's hard to believe it's a general Android issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my phone and tablet....also same issue Dakotadan had when he mentioned it on page 2 of "Forum Software Update." He told me his workaround with the issue which I hadn't thought of....post the quote them immediately delete it which finally gets it out of the reply box.

Ray77 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 When I try to quote a post, I click the Quote option and the text box opens at the bottom of the page, however the previous post does not show. Also, if I try to quote multiple posts, I'll click the + sign and it adds them to the "Quote 2 posts" box at the bottom right of the page, and when I click that it opens the text box with nothing in it. If I then go to another forum, topic, etc. and go to type, when I click the text box the "Quote 2 posts" option shows up again in the bottom, but the posts do not. Any ideas?
