[forum] editing posts brings unwanted additions

xybur · 07-08-2006, 01:16 AM

Everytime I edit a thread, I get funky little errors that pop up in my posts that look like they are supposed to be html commands.

I'm not sure why, but lemme go ahead and post an example below this post. I will create a reply that has spaces in it, and perhaps a bold word in a sentence, and then I will attempt to edit said post. Watch the result.

Ok, this is my reply. 
 
Watch what happens when i decide to edit my post. edit: ok,I am editing my post. Aside from this sentence, i, myself,  have not manually added anything else that may appear.

As you can see, it can get pretty bad especially if I space my paragraphs frequently. It also turns into a horrible, horrible mess if I try to link to a website. I am using the full featured wysiwyg editor option for my replies, and am primarily using quicky reply, although full reply will do it too. Also, initial posts don't exhibit these behaviors, its only for edits.

You should've seen it in my Dancing Stage Ultimix thread - I used all different colours, bold, underline, different sizes. I decide to edit it and BOOM! Giant explosion. Took me about 15 minutes to fix fully.

At least I had a lot of tokens for that 5 minutes lol

This also happens when I edit posts with east Asian Languages

They get converted to unicode :\

How long does an issue like this take to be addressed? It's really causing trouble on my end, because I'm a poster who frequently edits things to make them perfect, and now I am resorting to deleting my posts and retyping them entirely, which has led me to find another bug. Every time you delete a post, you don't get docked the tokens recieved from original said post, which can lead to abuse later on I'm sure.

I had the same problem with it screwing Japanese up, but I found that if you click "Go Advanced" and edit it from there that everything stays intact.

Even if I go advanced and edit a post, I am still left with the same html mumbo jumbo. Do you think it may be an issue with using the fully featured wysiwyg editor option in my User CP?
